We currently cannot accept deposits online.  You may pay via credit card over the phone or you may send a check or money order to us via mail.

Submit your immunization record, which may be available from your previous schools or colleges, local health department, your primary health care provider, military immunization record, or your parents.

Residents may be granted an exemption from one or more of the specified immunization requirements based on a documented medical recommendation or for religious reasons in accordance with university regulation. Those persons exempted from immunization or testing for a disease may be removed from student residence facilities should an outbreak of that disease occur or threaten to occur. To request a religious or medical exemption form, contact us.

Tuberculosis

A negative tuberculin skin test (PPD) within one year preceding registration, unless previously positive. If you have tested positive for tuberculosis, a negative chest x-ray and proof of completed treatment is required.

Meningococcal Disease

Applicants under the age of 21 must show evidence of vaccination against meningococcal disease with the meningococcal ACWY immunization.

Effective May 18, 2005, the State of Alaska requires that all post-secondary educational institutions must provide information about meningitis and meningitis vaccine to all students who intend to reside in campus housing and requires that students sign a form indicating that they have either been vaccinated against meningitis or have received information about meningitis.  See the text of law, including required information about meningitis below:

Sec. 14.48.165 of the Alaska Statutes reads as follows:

Immunization of postsecondary students

A postsecondary educational institution in this state shall provide written notice to each student who intends to reside in campus housing before the student’s initial period of residence that includes the following information:

Meningococcal disease

• is a serious illness that can cause death within a few hours of onset; one in 10 cases is fatal, and one in seven survivors of the illness is left with severe disability;
• is a contagious but also largely preventable infection of the spinal cord fluid and the fluid surrounding the brain;
• Scientific evidence suggests that college students living in campus housing are at a moderately increased risk of contracting meningococcal disease; and
• Immunization against meningococcal disease decreases the risk of contracting the illness

In order to be eligible for housing, applicants must be enrolled in at least six UA credits; be enrolled in a UA degree program of a certificate or higher; and have a student account balance from prior semesters below $500 to be eligible for housing. Eligibility deadlines are August 1 (Fall Semester), December 1 (Spring Semester), and May 1 (Summer Semester). If all eligibility requirements are not met by the deadline, your application may be voided. Applicants who meet requirements after this time may request to reopen their application for review.

Housing placement begins in July (Fall Semester), December (Spring Semester), and April (Summer Semester) and is processed on a rolling basis as applications are submitted and approved. Approval includes submission of the housing deposit, required immunizations, and confirmation that eligibility requirements have been met.

Students who complete their application and are approved prior to the priority deadline will have the opportunity to self-select roommates and/or room placements before general assignments are made.

Residents will receive an email notification once their placement has been finalized. Placements can also be viewed at any time through Student Housing Self Service.

Starting approximately one month before Move-In, each of the following forms and agreements will be available in Student Housing Self Service:

• Early Move-In Request 
  
• Vehicle Registration Form
  
• Bicycle Registration Form 
• Animal Agreement (For students with approved ESA/Service animals)
