ÃÛÌÒTV

NO! You can become a teacher or a counselor through a ÃÛÌÒTV education program throughout Alaska, without leaving your home region. We offer programs with both face-to-face and distance-delivered courses.

All of our programs can be completed via distance learning.

We also offer classes in a variety of modalities, from face-to-face, asynchronous, synchronous, hybrid and zoom.

We have offices and classes in both Fairbanks and Anchorage.

YES! ÃÛÌÒTV programs allow students to complete both short-term (15-30 hour) and long-term (semester and year-long) fieldwork experiences at nearly any public school district in Alaska. Depending on the district, there are different policies and protocols that are followed to set up fieldwork and internship experiences, so be sure to work with your advisors and program faculty.

It depends on your credits. UAA allows any UA student to live on campus, but they do require that undergraduate students be enrolled in nine or more credits. If you’re taking fewer than nine credits, you can fill out an exception form and submit it to the UAA director of university housing. To live on campus at ÃÛÌÒTV, you just need to be enrolled in one UA credit.

Yes. Regardless of location, when you enroll in a ÃÛÌÒTV School of Education program, you pay the ÃÛÌÒTV students fees that include student services as published in the course catalog. ÃÛÌÒTV and UAA are collaborating to ensure that if located in Anchorage, these same student fees apply to the comparable UAA student service. For example, the UAA WolfCard will gain you access to library services, sporting events and support services. If you have questions about specific fees or services, please contact the ÃÛÌÒTV Office of the Bursar at 907-474-7384 or uaf-bursar@alaska.edu.

Students need to have one face-to-face class where they are sitting in the same room with their instructor (not an online synchronous class) in order to get the full GI Bill® housing stipend.

• Undergraduate students using VA benefits: After being accepted into ÃÛÌÒTV and registering for classes, students will need to talk with the Department of Military and Veteran Services for certification. This includes filling out a Certification Request Form (PDF) and a VA Change Form (PDF) if you are transferring from UAA.
• Graduate level students using VA benefits: In addition to the undergraduate requirements, once students are registered for classes, their advisors will need to submit their graduate studies plans and advisor memos to the Department of Military and Veteran Services. The School of Education and Department of Military and Veteran Services coordinate to ensure compliance.

ÃÛÌÒTV transfer credit staff will work directly with ÃÛÌÒTV SOE advisors to ensure credits are applied in the best way possible for each student's circumstances. Note that ÃÛÌÒTV will evaluate all prior college transcripts, not just the UAA transcript. If a student previously transferred from another school when originally applying to UAA, ÃÛÌÒTV will re-evaluate those transcripts for ÃÛÌÒTV credit. All transcripts submitted previously to UAA are available for ÃÛÌÒTV staff and there should be no need for the student to submit duplicate transcripts to ÃÛÌÒTV.

Depending on your program, you may still be able to take UAA face-to-face courses that count toward your degree. Face-to-face courses in Anchorage are also offered for some ÃÛÌÒTV education courses.
