Apply online and we'll waive the $25 application fee. Please note you will need to create a new account to begin your online application. This new username and password is only for the application and will cease to be valid once you submit the completed application.
To be fully-admitted, we will need to receive an official transcript from your high school. A transcript is "official" only when we receive it in a sealed envelope from the high school. You may have them sent directly to us or deliver it yourself as long as it is still sealed. Please use admissions@alaskapacific.edu if your school delivers transcripts electronically.
