Admissions

Admission checklist for Degree and Non-Degree seeking students

• Complete an Admission Application
  The online application takes about 15–30 minutes to complete and is free. You will create an account that will let you save your application and log back in any time to complete your application, upload additional admission documents, and check on your application status.
• Submit Transcripts

  Once you submit your application, the required transcripts that you need to provide will be listed. Here are some transcripts that you may be asked to provide if you are a degree seeking student:

  • High school transcript: Mat-Su College / UAA requires an official final transcript sent directly from your school. If you haven't graduated yet, an initial admission decision is made with the information you provided in your application. 
  • GED transcript: Mat-Su College / UAA requires an official GED score report issued from the state which awarded the GED. Students who earned their GED in Alaska can request an official GED transcript using the State of Alaska GED Transcript Request form.
  • College credits: Mat-Su College / UAA  requires official final transcripts from every regionally accredited institution you attended, including attendance during high school. If you are currently taking a college course, an in-progress transcript can be submitted for admission; the final transcript is required after grades are posted. Transcripts are not required from any University of Alaska campus.
• Check Application Status
  After you submit your application, you'll receive an email confirmation and further instructions. Once we receive all required documentation, we'll review your application. If you have not heard from us after 5 business days, please contact admissions at uaa_mscinfo@alaska.edu
