Student support
The Eileen Panigeo MacLean House offers students the opportunity to live in a small community with a cultural focus,
allowing them to feel at home in an academic and urban environment, while at the same
time supporting their academic efforts and celebrating their successes.
The UAF Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) is a six-week summer program that helps Alaskans adjust academically and socially to college
life. University and Alaska Native leaders created RAHI in 1983. Since then, more
than 1,800 Alaskans have graduated from the program, including more than 175 second-generation
alums who were inspired to attend by their parents’ life-changing experience.
Rural Student Services (RSS) is an academic advising department with over 45 years of experience in working
with students from all over the state of Alaska. RSS is here to assist you in achieving
student success by linking you to current information pertinent to your education,
lifestyle, and goals.
Rural Student Services maintains a list of Alaska Native and Indigenous student clubs at UAF.
