Financial Support
Cost of Attendance
Tuition rates are set and modified by the University of Alaska Board of Regents. Campus and program fees are determined locally each year and posted on UAA Tuition and Fees. There are additional Fees assessed from the university and from the nursing program. Some fees are distributed across the program, while others are charged to the student once. Financial Aid's Cost of Attendance provides an estimated cost of completing a full year as a full-time student.
