Gearing up for ! 💚🤸💛

Last week, the Board of Regents approved changes to the University of Alaska tuition structure. As part of our Tuition Transparency project, non-resident tuition (NRT) for all universities and degree types will be eliminated, beginning in fall 2027. Starting in fall 2027, all students will pay the resident tuition rate, creating a simpler, more predictable cost structure and removing long‑standing confusion around residency rules.

For UAA, this shift directly supports our strategic plan and our commitment to putting students first. A clearer, more predictable tuition model reduces barriers and improves the student experience, making it easier for students to plan for their education. While we anticipate that UAA will see a small initial decrease in tuition revenue, projected enrollment growth is expected to offset this within three years, with positive gains anticipated by academic year 2030-31.

Tuition transparency also strengthens UAA’s ability to recruit and support students. By reducing administrative burden, advisors and student‑facing teams can spend more time helping our students succeed.

Yesterday, UAA and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) formalized a long-standing collaboration by signing an agreement that expands opportunities for UAA students, faculty, researchers and healthcare partners.

Through this agreement, UAA is establishing a long-term partnership that will provide students with clinical, research and other work-based learning experiences at the Alaska Native Medical Center and other ANTHC facilities. Together, we are creating a shared framework to prepare the next generation of Alaska’s healthcare workforce by aligning UAA’s academic instruction with real-world patient care guided by UAA faculty and ANTHC clinical professionals.

Over the next five years, this partnership will deepen collaboration between our institutions to enhance education, support workforce development and, ultimately, contribute to improved health outcomes for communities across Alaska. View the celebration courtesy of ANTHC ▶️ heyor.ca/Nz2PeS.
