Dear UA Staff, Faculty & Students, Acting President Michelle Rizk and I write to advise you that President Jim Johnsen has resigned as UA System president, a decision that was mutual and made after considerable reflection by the Board.

President Johnsen will be available to assist with the transition until July 1 when his resignation goes into effect.

Limited housing for fall 2020

Due to the impacts of COVID-19, on-campus housing at UAA will operate at a reduced capacity and with limited services in fall 2020. Only residents meeting certain exception criteria will be approved to live on-campus. Due to the reduced capacity and the number of applications already received, On-Campus Living will stop accepting fall 2020 housing applications June 19, 2020. After June 19, interested students can request that they be added to a wait list in the event that the current pandemic subsides and housing is able to open up more fully.
