For admission to occupational endorsement programs, official documentation must be provided showing that the applicant:

* To earn a high school diploma in Alaska, a student must fulfill all curriculum requirements and satisfactorily complete all three competency areas of the High School Qualifying Exam. Please note that in order to qualify for federal financial aid, you must have either a high school diploma or a GED.
Students should check with an advisor for the specific requirements for their program.
Occupational endorsement programs are designed to give students occupational training in a specific field. These programs require between 9 and 29 credit hours and will be posted to the student's transcript upon completion and approval by the academic department. The credit hours may be applied to other undergraduate degree programs (when applicable).
