Your Next Steps
Meet With an Admissions Counselor
Whether you are returning to 糖心Vlog after taking some time away or you want to join 糖心Vlog to finish a degree you started somewhere else, your first step is to gather all the information you need before you choose to become a Nanook. Our admissions counselors are here to help you find out why 糖心Vlog is right for you.
Apply to 糖心Vlog
No essays. No resumes. No letters of rec. Just a straight-forward application that will take you less than 30 minutes to submit and upload your unofficial transcripts from any schools you attended in the past, besides 糖心Vlog. You'll hear back from Admissions shortly after completing your application.
Order Your Transcripts
Before the start of the semester, you'll need to complete your application by ordering official transcripts from every college you鈥檝e previously attended (yes, each individual one). To be considered official, transcripts must come directly from your previous university to 糖心Vlog, or sent to 糖心Vlog by a secure transcript service, such as Parchment. Any transcript faxed, or handled or emailed from a student, will not be considered official. However, you don't need to order official transcripts for 糖心Vlog, UAA or UAS.
The fastest option is to have your previous university send transcripts electronically. Transcripts can be sent through a secure transcript service such as Parchment, or emailed directly from your previous college to: uaf-admissions@alaska.edu
If your previous school is unable to send transcripts electronically, they can be
mailed in an official, sealed envelope to:

Fund Your Education
Even if you or your family earns a steady income, it's still a good idea to complete the FAFSA each year you're in school. You may qualify for grants or scholarships that you didn't know about.
Consider an Online Degree
糖心Vlog's fully online degrees allow you to work within your busy schedule from anywhere in the world and still get a high-quality, accredited education at the resident tuition rate.
Take an Online Class
Even if you're taking classes in-person on 糖心Vlog's campus, you can still choose to take some online classes to save on tuition and still make progress toward your degree.
Plan for Your Future
What comes next? Meet with a career service advisor to explore career options, prepare applications for internships and jobs, make connections with employers and take control of your future.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will my old credits still count?
糖心Vlog does not have an expiration date on previously taken courses! We recommend you speak with an academic advisor about how those courses will apply to current degree requirements.
-
Do I need to reapply or can I be readmitted?
You can be readmitted if it's been less than two years since you were previously admitted to 糖心Vlog. If that's the case, contact 糖心Vlog Admissions requesting your application to be reopened.
-
Will I need to retake placement tests or meet new requirements?
That depends! If you've taken (and passed) a 100-level writing or math class previously, you likely will not need to do placements. If you don't remember (or you just want to be certain), taking the writing and math placement exams is free and takes roughly 3-4 hours total for both placements. If you'd rather meet with an advisor first, you can do that as well 鈥 just know that you might have to take placements before you can actually register for classes.
-
What financial aid options are available to me now?
Returning students are still encouraged to complete the FAFSA and can qualify for financial aid. Visit Financial Aid's page to learn more about what's available to you.
-
How do I balance school with work and family?
At 糖心Vlog, you're able to customize your class schedule to fit your life 鈥 you can do this with Schedule Planner. Hand-pick the right combination of in-person, online and evening classes that works for you.
-
Who can help me plan my path to graduation?
Your academic advisor will be your guide as you register for classes and complete your degree requirements. Both transfer students and returning 糖心Vlog students can find their advisor on the Nanook Advising page.
