Taking a UAA class on base always requires special steps for access

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

Courses on Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson (JBER) are now open for general civilian enrollment. Please note that you must call (907) 753-0204 for base access up to five working days prior to the start of any class.

Attending classes offered at these locations is a privilege extended by JBER to UAA students. Students are reminded they are entering a military installation during a time of war. Compliance with all directions of the JBER Police is required while on the installation. JBER requires the following for vehicles driven on the installation.

  1. Driver's license, current insurance card and current registration. These are the same items required by the State of Alaska to legally drive a vehicle.
  2. Students at either Education Center on JBER are added to the access starting on the first day of the class. Students must call UAA Military Programs at (907) 753-0204 and provide required information two weeks prior to the start of classes. Students must provide the last four numbers of their Social Security number and their driver's license number and state.
  3. For the first class, stop at the either Visitor Centers, Boniface Parkway Gate or Fort Richardson Glenn Highway exit. Students will be issued a temporary pass. Additions to the access list take up to 10 working days for processing by Security Forces. JBER access is provided only to registered students. Students may not bring additional civilians on JBER. If a student needs to obtain a ride to class on the JBER anyone holding appropriate military ID may escort them. Students holding foreign student visas must contact the UAA Military Programs for specific base access procedures.
  4. JBER access is granted only to attend classes at the base and post education centers.
