Finish Strong

Finishing your degree can open doors, increase your earning potential and take your career to the next level. With UAF’s flexible class options and credit for courses you’ve already completed, you may be closer to finishing than you think!

Pick up where you left off

When you fill out the form on this page, you’ll be contacted by an academic advisor who will be your guide to UAF. They’ll learn the specifics of your case (like what kind of credits you already have) and help you find the tools you need to succeed. Coming back to college after a break can be intimidating but you’ll have support every step of the way — so you can pick up where you left off and Finish Strong.

Don’t want to wait?

Reach out to your UAF academic advisor to get started.
If it’s been more than two years since you took classes at UAF, or if you’ve never attended UAF, just apply for admission.

Credits already earned

Our team of experts will work with you to make sure you get as much credit applied toward your degree as possible. Credit towards a UAF degree can come from previous college experience, military service or other prior learning — you may be closer than you think!

Flexible degree paths

UAF has several degree completion pathways and experts to help you identify the best way to maximize the credit you’ve already earned. With online or in-person class options, you can decide what’s the best path for you to finish your degree.

Different is great

You’re not a typical student, and UAF isn’t a typical university. Whether you’re coming back to college after a break or you’ve already had a career (or two!), finishing your degree at UAF can help you take the next step and achieve your goals.

Career goals

Finishing your degree may be the little “extra” that puts your résumé on the top of the pile or qualifies you for that promotion. If you’re close to an associate’s or bachelor’s, finish strong at UAF.
