Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started requires applying for admission either as a degree-seeking or non-degree seeking student.  Apply as a degree-seeking student if you intend to earn a degree or certificate and if you intend to apply for financial aid.  If you are taking courses for your own personal interest and growth, apply as a Lifelong Learner (non-degree seeking student).  Visit the Admissions page for details.  If you would like to speak with a program advisor before your apply for admission, see the Advising Contacts page.

Students who would like to take a class will first need to apply for admission through UAOnline to establish an account with the University (see previous question).  If you already have a student ID number (3XXXXXXX) but have not taken classes in the last five years, you will need to update your admissions in UAOnline.  Please note that some courses require a pre-requisite or the appropriate placement test score before a student is allowed to register. 

Most students will register for classes online through their UAOnline account.  Instructions on how to register online are available or you can contact Student Services at 907-486-1266 or studentservices@kodiak.alaska.edu for assistance.  Students who do not wish to register online may register on campus the week before classes start each semester.

High school students are not allowed to register online and follow a specific process to take courses at Kodiak College.  High school students need to fill out the Secondary School Student packet and may register for classes on campus the week before classes start each semester. 

 We have five Associate of Applied Science degrees, an Associate of Arts, General program, undergraduate certificates, and occupational endorsement certificates.  We also have a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing available through our parent college, the University of Alaska Anchorage.  Visit the Degrees and Certificates page for details.

File a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for student grants, loans, and work study opportunities.  Local scholarships are also available each fall and spring semester. Please see the Financial Aid page for more information.

Refer to the Cost of Attendance page.

Yes, Kodiak College is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.  This accreditation means that our courses are likely to transfer to other colleges and universities in Alaska and beyond.

Once you have applied to a degree/certificate program and submitted official transcripts, your previous courses will be evaluated.  Once the evaluation is complete, you will be notified by email.  At that time, you should set up a meeting with your Academic Advisor to go over your transfer credits and what requirements you still need toward your program.
