Homeschool Dual Enrollment in Alaska
Alaska homeschoolers take college courses for credit by applying directly to a University of Alaska campus. They pay the same tuition and fees as other students unless a correspondence program covers the course.
How dual enrollment works for homeschoolers
Alaska has no statute that sets dual enrollment for homeschoolers, so each University of Alaska campus writes its own rules for high school students. The University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is a typical example: secondary students place into courses through its placement exams and pay regular tuition, course, and student fees.
UAA also asks each applicant 17 or younger to file a Secondary Student Parent/Guardian Authorization form, signed with a parent or guardian, before registering.
A family enrolled in a district correspondence program can ask the program to pay for a college course from the student allotment. The course has to be in the student's individual learning plan, and the district has to approve the expense.
Before your child can enroll
Campus application
Your child applies to the campus as a secondary student and meets each course's placement or prerequisite rule.
Enrolling in a college course
First step
Ask the admissions office at your nearest University of Alaska campus for its secondary student application and placement exam schedule.
What it costs
An independent homeschooler pays the campus's regular tuition and fees and buys the books. In a correspondence program, the allotment can cover an approved course instead.
When to apply
Apply before the campus's registration opens for the semester you want, and leave time for placement testing.
