Placement Exams
Placement exams are required before registering for English,
Math, and some CIOS classes. To arrange placement tests in your community,
contact the Distance Education Office (see above). These exams are
designed to tell you which courses you are academically prepared to take.
Think of it this way: you probably do not want to take a course which is
way over your head (in which case you are likely to fail) or a course which
is way under your level (in which case you will be bored).
Visit with an Advisor
If you are a full-time, degree-seeking student, if you
are receiving financial aid, or if you are new to UAS-Sitka, it is
important that you visit by phone with an advisor. Call the
Advising Center at 1-800-478-6653 to arrange your appointment today.

2. Know Tuition and Fees.
What is “Tuition?” What are “Fees?”
The basic cost of attending a particular course is called
“tuition.” Tuition is designated per credit hour. In general,
tuition pays for your instructor’s salary, space to hold the class,
administrative costs to deliver the course, and services available to
you as a student. Tuition at UAS-Sitka is $79 per credit for lower
division courses, and $90 per credit for upper division courses.
Tuition does not include fees, books, housing, transportation, etc.
Most colleges, including UAS, also charge specialized fees in addition
to tuition. These fees could include: lab fees, technology fees,
distance education fees, and student government fees. Fees are
generally utilized to offset the cost of user-specific charges or services.
Tuition
Lower Division: $82 per credit
Upper Division: $93 per credit
Graduate: $184 per credit
Depending on the course, tuition rates may be higher for
students who are not Alaska residents.
Note: Tuition does not include student government fee,
technology fee, or lab/material fees. Visa and Mastercard are accepted
for tuition, fees and bookstore purchases. The University reserves
the right to change or add to its fees at any time. Fee assessments are
subject to audit and correction, and any such adjustments will be made
following the close of late registration. Students will be notified by
mail of any changes.
