All about accreditation

Welcome back for the spring 2024 semester. Because we had several accreditation-related activities during the fall 2023 semester and have more lined up for 2024, I wanted to give everyone an update on where we stand and plans for the spring semester. Read more about the status of UAF's institutional accreditation, mission fulfillment indicators and specialized accreditations.

Center ICE supports two types of fellowships and both are recruiting for the summer and fall semesters. To learn more about both programs and apply, visit the RISE-UP website. Applications close Feb. 7.
