UAF’s dual enrollment program wins award
October 7, 2020
UAF’s Alaska Advantage Program is the recipient of the 2020 University Professional and Continuing Education Association West Region Outstanding Administrative Process or Service Award.
The Advantage program, which started in fall 2019, encourages high school students to take high-quality online courses offered by University of Alaska Fairbanks and, starting fall 2020, includes University of Alaska Southeast. Students earn both high school and college credit for a single course, get a solid introduction to university-level expectations and can take advantage of package pricing. More than 200 students participated in the program in its first year and 313 students are enrolled this fall.
UAF eCampus and the Alaska Advantage Program will be honored at the 2020 UPCEA West Region Virtual Conference that will be held on Oct. 12-14, 2020. Registration is free and open to everyone at UAF because the university is an UPCEA member. Create an UPCEA account and then register for the conference.
