Resident and Non-Resident Tuition
Students eligible for Alaska resident tuition generally include:
- an Alaska resident, defined as a person who is a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen who has been physically present in Alaska for at least the past two years;
- students who received a State of Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend within the last 12 months and can certify they have been in Alaska for the past 12 months;
- military personnel on active duty, their spouses and dependent children;
- members of the National Guard, their spouses and dependent children;
- dependent children of a person who graduated and holds an associate, bachelor's, master's or doctoral
degree from the University of Alaska; - dependent children of an Alaska resident as evidenced by the most current federal income tax return filed within the past 16 months;
- students participating in the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE) Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP);
- students enrolled in four or fewer credit hours within the UA system during a semester;
- students from other states or provinces whose public universities waive non-resident tuition surcharges for Alaska residents, or who are from foreign cities and provinces with established Alaskan sister city or sister province relationships;
- students designated by the UA Scholars Program as UA Scholars;
- participants of the University of Alaska College Savings Plan;
- spouse or dependent children of a University of Alaska employee; or
- students who graduated within the past 12 months from a qualified Alaska high school.
Students will be considered non-resident if within two years prior to applying for residency they:
- were absent from Alaska for an aggregate of more than 120 days other than documented absences due to illness or attendance at another educational institution while maintaining Alaska residency;
- committed any act inconsistent with Alaska residency, such as claiming residency in another state or voting as a resident of another state;
- registered as a resident in an educational institution in another state; or
- paid tuition at the University of Alaska at the Western Undergraduate Exchange program rate.
To prove physical presence, students must provide documentation of one of the following:
- student moved household goods to Alaska at least two years ago;
- student's lease, rental or ownership of real property in Alaska for at least the prior two years;
- student's permanent employment in Alaska for at least the prior two years; or
- other documentation of Alaska residency for the two prior years deemed satisfactory by the UAF Office of Admissions.
Students applying for resident tuition assessment must file an application for resident tuition with the Office of Admissions prior to the published end of the add/drop period for regular semester-length courses for the semester for which residency is sought. Failure to file and provide adequate proof of physical presence by this date will waive any claim that the student was eligible for resident tuition assessment for that semester or prior semesters unless otherwise determined by the Office of Admissions.
Residency criteria, as paraphrased above, are determined by UA Board of Regents residency policy and regulations found at www.alaska.edu/bor/policy/05-10.doc. For additional information and applications, students should contact the Office of Admissions.

Payment plans and textbook loans are available through the Business Office. The cost of your total assessed semester tuition, fees, room and board can be broken up into monthly payments throughout the semester. The cost of a payment plan is $50 and the cost of a textbook loan is $10.
Payment Plans — Get an early start on your monthly payments. As soon as you are registered for your classes, you can set up a payment plan.

If you do not meet the payment plan requirements, please contact the Business Office at 907-474-7384 to make an appointment.
Textbook Loans — You may be eligible for an advance of your financial aid for the purchase of your textbooks. Bring a textbook list and verification of certified financial aid to the Business Office and complete a textbook loan application. A $10 processing fee applies. If the loan is not repaid within 30 days, a late fee of $35 will be applied to past due accounts and a hold will be placed on your account until it is brought current.
If you do not have certified financial aid you must be in a payment plan to receive a textbook loan. You must provide a textbook list and meet the same requirements for a payment plan.
The advance or loan amount is applied to your PolarExpress card, which can then be used for payment when ordering your books from the UAF Bookstore website.
A payment plan or textbook loan requires a formal contract between you and the university. You must be registered for your classes prior to the approval of your contract.
Full details and forms for payment plans and textbook loans may be downloaded from the UAF Business Office website at www.uaf.edu/business/forms/, picked up in person at the Business Office, e-mailed, or faxed to you upon request.

- there is space in the class or classes you want.
If you are using a senior tuition waiver, do not register until the first day of instruction for each class. You must meet both age and residency requirements by one of the following dates to be eligible for the corresponding semester: Sept. 1 for fall; Jan. 1 for spring; May1 for summer. Reimbursements will not be made to senior citizens who pay for a course and then request a waiver.

Employee tuition waivers pay only for tuition. The employee is responsible for all other fees. Tuition waiver forms are not accepted after the end of the semester. Employees who pay for a course and later become eligible for a waiver will not be reimbursed.
Tuition and Fees
Students who withdraw from courses or cancel enrollment must submit a completed official withdrawal form to the Registrar's Office. UAF may fully or partially refund undergraduate, graduate and non-resident tuition and fees. The following conditions apply:
- If UAF cancels a course, students' tuition and fees will be refunded in full.
- If a student formally withdraws from a course, UAF will make refunds according to the date of the withdrawal.
- If withdrawal is prior to or on the last day for late registration, UAF will refund 100 percent of tuition and fees. The parking decal fee will be refunded in full if the student returns the parking decal at the time of withdrawal.
- If withdrawal is within one week after the last day of late registration, UAF will refund 50 percent of tuition only. The parking fee will be returned in full (less $5) if the student returns the parking decal at time of withdrawal.
- If student withdraws from a class and adds another on the same day through the fourth Friday of the semester, UAF will exchange tuition. NOTE: If the exchange is uneven — e.g., lower level to upper level, or 3 credits to 4 credits — tuition is owed and due the same day.
- If withdrawal is after the fourth Friday of the semester, no refund or exchange of tuition is available.
- Courses Meeting Four Weeks or More But Less Than a Semester
- If a student withdraws within five working days of the first class meeting, UAF will refund 100 percent of tuition and fees.
- If a student withdraws within six to 10 working days of the first class meeting, UAF will refund 50 percent of tuition only.
- If a student withdraws on or after the 11th working day after the first class meeting, no refund or exchange of tuition is available.
- Courses Meeting Less Than Four Weeks
If a student withdraws before the first day of class, UAF will refund 100 percent of tuition and fees. No refund or exchange of tuition is available to students who withdraw on or after the first day of class.
- The date the drop/withdraw is processed by the Registrar's Office determines eligibility for a refund. The credit amount on a student schedule bill/receipt given by the Registrar's Office at the time of the drop may not be correct; changes may occur during the audit process.
- For evening or weekend classes, the drop must be processed the next working day for the refund to apply.
- A student whose registration is canceled as a result of disciplinary action forfeits all rights to a refund of any portion of tuition and fees.
- If a student's registration is canceled by a faculty-initiated drop/withdraw, the refund will be based on the date of the drop/withdraw and the policy described in a, b or c above.
- If you paid fees by personal check, any refund to which you may be entitled will be processed 30 days after your check has been deposited. The 30-day wait will be suspended if you provide proof that your check has cleared your bank.
- If you owe a debt to the university, any credits resulting from your drop/withdraw will be applied to that debt.
- Students who receive any type of external funding, including financial aid, may have their refunds applied to the external funding source. In the case of financial aid, the refund will be applied according to federal regulations.
- Vocational/technical course fees are subject to this refund schedule.
- Summer Sessions refund policy is separate and is found in the Summer Sessions catalog.
- In case the operations of UAF are adversely affected by war, riot, natural act, action of civil authority, strike or other emergency or condition, the university reserves the right to take action to curtail part or all of its operations, including action to cancel classes and action to discontinue services. In any case in which a significant curtailment is judged proper by UAF, the university's liability is limited to (at most) a refund of tuition and fees paid.
Appeals for refund of tuition are exceptions to policy and are only allowed in exceptional cases. Approval is not automatic, and you need to provide documented evidence to support your request. Acceptable serious and compelling reasons may include: 1) death in immediate family; 2) serious illness or injury of student or immediate family; and 3) factors outside of student's control (for example, major employment change, fire, flood). Failure to comply with published deadlines or regulations is not a serious and compelling reason to seek a refund and will not be approved.
Appeals for refund of tuition must be submitted within 30 class days after the beginning of the next regular semester. Forms for an appeal for refund of tuition are available online at www.uaf.edu/business/forms/ or through the Business Office in Signers' Hall at the Fairbanks campus or through local campus student services offices. Once received, the appeal will be evaluated by a campus-wide committee which will return a decision to the student. The decision of the committee is final and a student who files a written appeal under these procedures shall be expected to abide by the final disposition of the review, as provided, and may not seek further appeal of the matter under any other procedure within the university. Submission of appeals and appropriate documentation after published deadlines will not be considered. Contact the UAF Business Office for additional information.
Students who move off campus or withdraw from the university will receive room refunds according to the schedule.
Any refund of room charges will be based upon the days remaining in the semester. A $75 service charge will be subtracted from each refund of meal plan charges, regardless of the date of withdrawal. No refunds are available after the 12th week of the semester.
Please refer to your board plan agreement for specific information about meal plan refunds.
