University of Alaska Southeast

What are the popular events and traditions at University of Alaska Southeast?

UAS's reported campus events include Spring Carnival, Polar Plunge, and Traditional Games activities. These represent different parts of campus life - from seasonal social programming to activities connected with Indigenous games and regional culture.

An event name does not establish that it occurs on the same date, at every campus, or in every academic year. Students interested in attending or helping organize one should check the current campus calendar. Traditional Games activities in particular are best understood in their cultural context rather than treated simply as another recreational sport.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Alaska Southeast?

UAS offers university-operated, coeducational housing for undergraduates in Juneau, but a place is not automatically guaranteed to every admitted student. Students should review the current housing application, eligibility rules, and assignment dates separately from academic admission.

Housing options can include residence-hall and apartment-style arrangements, with eligibility and availability depending on the student and term. Students should compare those choices with off-campus rentals, especially if they will study at a campus other than Juneau. The reported housing information permits first-year students to park or register a car on campus, but transportation needs will depend on where they live and take classes.

Dining arrangements and meal-plan requirements may differ by housing assignment. Before committing to a room, students should confirm its current rate, whether a meal plan is required or optional, what dining service is available during breaks, and what the housing contract covers. Those details affect the annual budget more than the housing application alone.
