Registration Information
Catalogs & Schedules
As a graduate student, continuous registration is expected every fall and spring semester, from admission through graduation, until all requirements for the degree are completed. You must be registered for at least one credit per academic semester (fall and spring semesters), in graduate or 400-level courses relevant to your degree program, while actively working toward your degree, or pay the continuous registration fee. Those who wish to temporarily suspend their studies should obtain an approved leave of absence.

Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan
The Graduate Student Health Insurance Policy is a benefit for graduate students who are on a research (RA) or teaching (TA) assistantship or a University Fellowship (e.g. Graduate Fellowship, NSF Fellowship, etc.). The University pays the policy on behalf of the student. Graduate students not on a research/teaching assistantship or fellowship CANNOT purchase this policy. They can purchase the “regular” UAA student health insurance policy during fee payment. Eligible graduate students are automatically enrolled by the Graduate School upon receipt of a copy of their assistantship/fellowship letter to the Graduate School.
It is the student’s responsibility to provide a copy of their letter to the Graduate School each semester. Contract/Award letters must be delivered in person by the student and NOT faxed or sent to The Graduate School. At that time we will give each new eligible student a copy of the Graduate Student Health Insurance Policy packet. We will make exceptions for students not physically in Anchorage.
It is important for students to know that they are not to add the regular student insurance plan when they are completing registration online. They will not see an option for the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan, as this is an automatic benefit for those eligible students. Graduate students eligible for this policy cannot opt out of the Graduate Student Health Insurance even if they are covered by another insurance policy. If a graduate student is covered by another plan, double coverage is to their benefit.
