Native Student Services (NSS) provides a safe, affirming space on campus for Alaska Native, Native American, and Indigenous students. It is a gathering place where incoming and current students can find academic, advising, and cultural support; access resources; study with classmates; attend culturally empowering events, connect with community representatives; and interact with people who share similar experiences as Indigenous peoples.
NSS is the only place at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 that serves all Native students, regardless of major, degree, or class standing. All Indigenous students are welcome!

What you can find at NSS
The NET Program supports Native students as they transition to being a college student and to the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 campus with transition support as well as ongoing academic and cultural support. There are a lot of steps to navigate (financial aid/scholarships, placement testing, housing application, course registration, etc.)-- we'll help each step of the way to get ready!
For Fall semester only: NET students living on campus move into the residence halls a week early and attend an orientation that week where they will make sure they are ready for the first day of classes while also building community with other NET students.
For Fall and Spring semesters: The NET Program continues through students' first year at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 with the NET Program course for college credit and just for NET students. The course provides guidance on navigating college with academic and cultural support, grounded in Alaska Native values and with visit from Native community members and Elders.
NET Program application for Fall 2024 is now closed. Please contact us if you have questions or need anything in preparation for Fall 2024!
