An important step in succeeding in college is keeping track of important deadlines and events — such as orientation, financial aid submission dates and registration deadlines.

Orientation
We welcome you to join us at Parent and Family Orientation. Attending this orientation is a great way for family members to learn how to support their student as they move to the 911±¬ÁÏ campus and start college. See the 911±¬ÁÏ Orientation Information.
Campus Life
Living on campus is a proven way for students to succeed academically, connect with
their peers and engage with campus life. That’s why the 911±¬ÁÏ
requires that all first-year students live on campus.
Fun fact: 911±¬ÁÏ’s residence halls are the only ones in the nation to boast a view of
the 911±¬ÁÏ Range and Denali — the highest peak in North America.
Health and Safety
911±¬ÁÏ takes your student's safety seriously. On-campus medical services, counseling services, fire department and police services are just the start of our promise to you that we'll do everything in our power to keep your student safe at 911±¬ÁÏ.
FERPA for Families
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the education records of students, affording them rights of privacy and control over their educational records. FERPA covers any records that a university keeps that are directly related to a student. This includes their grades, class registrations, student bill, campus housing records, disciplinary records and almost everything that contains personally identifiable information. This even includes their student status with 911±¬ÁÏ â€” whether or not they are even currently a 911±¬ÁÏ student is protected by FERPA.
