Thank you for exploring options to stay with us at the University of Alaska Southeast! As an institution of higher education, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to extend our hospitality to other educational groups and community partners, in accordance with our institutional objectives.

If you would like to inquire about a group stay larger than 4 individuals that may include other reservations or services on campus including classroom reservation or catering, please contact Sean McCarthy at slmccarthy@alaska.edu.

We have two unit types to choose from for individuals including private rooms and shared rooms. All units are apartment-style with a shared kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining room. Rates are per person, per night.

Guest Types

Recreational guests are members of the public or patrons not directly affiliated with the University of Alaska in an academic capacity. This also includes individuals who are affiliated with the University but their stay does not coincide with an academic engagement.
Academic Guests are affiliated, sponsored, or enrolled in a University of Alaska program, activity, or coursework that occurs during the requested stay in housing.

Guest Apartment

We also have one Guest Apartment: a two-bedroom apartment up-fitted with higher quality furnishings and a kitchen stocked with basic cooking implements, flatware, and place settings. This Guest Apartment is available year-round and a great option for visiting faculty, guest lecturers, prospective students and families, and others. The rate for this unit is $100 per night.
