�ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage

Online, High-Quality Dual Enrollment Courses for High School Students

Earn credits for both high school and college. Save almost 50% on tuition costs. Take �ֻ�ֱ�� classes fully online from anywhere you live. The �ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage dual enrollment program is a unique opportunity to experience the best in higher education and get a jump start on your college career.

Why Dual Enroll Through �ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage at the �ֻ�ֱ��?

In the �ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage program, high school students can take online courses offered by the �ֻ�ֱ�� (UAF) and University of �ֻ�ֱ�� Southeast (UAS). You can take just one class or enroll as a full-time student.

Through the program, students earn both high school and college credit. These credits are accepted in the University of �ֻ�ֱ�� system but can also be transferred to other colleges and universities.

Most of our dual enrollment students take classes that count toward University of �ֻ�ֱ�� Fairbanks majors and minors. Many students also take career and technical education (CTE) classes, working toward an occupational endorsement or certificate.

Save money on college costs

Whereas the normal cost of a college course is about $300 per credit with tuition and fees, �ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage students pay only $165 per credit for their classes — an almost 50% savings. In many cases, high schools also pay for dual enrollment classes. Even better, taking college courses early can help you graduate college sooner, saving you valuable time as well!

Take classes from anywhere you live

You can take �ֻ�ֱ�� Advantage online courses from anywhere. Classes are fully online so you can work on your own time (most instructors do maintain a weekly schedule to keep students on track for semester completion). Get introduced to many University of �ֻ�ֱ�� Fairbanks majors and find out what interests you most.
This program is also a great option for students who don’t have access to Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses at their schools.
