University of Alaska Southeast will offer in-state tuition for all undergraduate students

Out-of-state undergraduate students at the University of Alaska Southeast will see lower tuition rates beginning next fall.

The campus is getting rid of out-of-state tuition for all undergraduate students as part of the Alaska Unlocked program. Out-of-state students made up 12% of the entire student population last fall. Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs Lori Klein said it is part of a strategy to make UAS more accessible for out-of-state students.

“At UAS, we’re focused on enrollment growth, and in order to do that, we have to remove the barriers, or in this case, through Alaska Unlocked, create the pathway for out-of-state students to join us in this amazing place, at this amazing university, with our programs and our faculty and our services,” she sai
