UAF requires all undergraduate students to meet with their academic advisor before registering for classes. An academic advisor is a member of the faculty with training and experience to help you select, plan, and complete your academic/career goals. Your academic advisor is usually someone in your major. It is your responsibility to initiate contact with your academic advisor!

Courses with a flexible schedule, but good for “beginners”:

Know Before You Go:

  • Become familiar with the class schedule uaf.edu/reg/schedule/and UAF Catalog uaf.edu/catalog
  • Collect copies of your registration materials, financial aid information, and transcripts from other universities you have attended. Go to www.uaonline.alaska.edu to use DegreeWorks and develop a tentative educational plan and semester schedule
  • BRING THESE WITH YOU WHEN YOU MEET WITH YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR along with a pen or pencil and notepaper
  • Give some thought to your interests, academic/career goals, courses you might like to take, and whether you might qualify for non-traditional credit options
  • Prepare a list of questions for your academic advisor
Using Your Academic Advisor Effectively
  • MAKE AND KEEP APPOINTMENTS. Call if you need to cancel or change an appointment.
  • COME PREPARED. If you’re registering, bring a tentative class schedule, work schedule or planned activities.
  • ASK QUESTIONS. If you don’t understand a policy or procedure, just ask until you do.
  • BE OPEN-MINDED. Your academic advisor’s job is to present you with options so you can make better decisions.
  • ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. Accept responsibility for your decisions.
  • KEEP CURRENT. Stay up-to-date on policies, procedures, and requirements.
  • KNOW THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR. Know deadlines and schedules to avoid last minute rushes.
  • KEEP PERSONAL RECORDS. Keep records of your progress. If you talk with different academic advisors, these will be helpful.
  • SEEK HELP. Seek help from your academic advisor when you need it.
  • DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP. The better your academic advisor knows you, the more helpful she/he can be to you.
