Advising Services

College of Indigenous Studies Advising and Student Services

At CIS, advisors provide comprehensive student support services as well as access to opportunities that incorporate local knowledge, campus and regional resources.

CIS's Rural campus advisors provide remote and regionally based student assistance regarding admission, registration, academic advising, financial aid, degree planning and workforce development programming. Because our rural based advisors are local education experts, students are highly encouraged to contact a local rural campus advisor to pursue enrollment with UAF, CIS or with any program within the University of Alaska system. CIS Student Service teams extend to remote areas across Alaska through five regional rural campuses; Chukchi, Northwest, Kuskokwim, Bristol Bay and Interior Alaska. 

CIS's Rural Student Services provides comprehensive academic advising and support for Alaska Native and rural Alaskan students on the Troth Yeddha campus in ����vlog����.  RSS advisors also provide assistance with a variety of important academic decisions students at UAF make, as well as support students advised through other departments with study and success resources, outreach events and student wellness efforts.
