Dual enrollment in Alaska
College credit earned while still in high school. It is the single largest lever on a college bill, and what it costs your family depends almost entirely on which state you are in.
There is no broad state subsidy, so dual-enrolment credits are billed at the college’s own rate. That is still far below university tuition, and it is the case where comparing colleges matters most.
University of Alaska Dual Enrollment (UA Board of Regents Policy P10.05.015)
Price set locally
Alaska has no statewide dual-enrollment subsidy or statewide price. Under UA system policy the student pays regular university tuition and fees unless a school district, tribal organization, municipality or other external funder agrees to pay, or unless a negotiated agreement reduces the rate; cost per credit varies by campus. Specific campus programs differ widely - for example UAF's online 'Alaska Advantage' rate is $165/credit and UAF's 'North Star College' is free because the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District pays tuition, fees and textbooks - but those are institution-specific, not statewide, so no statewide figure is recorded here.
Who can enroll. Any K-12 (including homeschool) student may enroll; UA Board of Regents policy forbids restrictions beyond those applying to all university students, other than to comply with law or to ensure informed parental consent. Admission/registration follows each university's non-degree-seeking secondary student procedures (parent/guardian signature, deadlines, course prerequisites). Scope is the University of Alaska system (UAA, UAF, UAS) only; whether high school credit is awarded is decided by the school district, and individual campuses set their own program rules and prices.
