Housing

Juneau Campus

Choosing a college is a very important decision and deciding whether to live on or off campus can be just as important. The living and learning environment of Student Housing can be a source of further support, social connection, and personal development for students seeking a comprehensive college experience.

The UAS Juneau campus offers a variety of on-campus housing options, all convenient to class locations, campus services, and recreational opportunities. Students are encouraged to explore the many benefits of living on campus via the housing website. 

Options and Rates

Please visit the options and rates section of the housing website to explore housing options and floor plans and view current year rates. Options include suite-style residence halls, apartment style, and family contract accommodations.  All rates listed are per semester. Basic utilities including water, electricity, wireless internet, garbage, heat, snow removal, and parking are included in the housing rate. For information regarding payment plans contact Student Accounts at (907) 796-6267.

Staffing

The student housing complex is staffed by a team of live-in professional and paraprofessional student staff. Professional staff members are highly trained and oversee facility operations, serve as resources to residents, and provide 24/7 on-call support. They supervise student leaders who serve as the primary point of contact for residents, offering mentorship and promoting the well-being of the housing community. These student staff members receive comprehensive training before students move in and continue their development throughout the academic year, making them valuable supports within the residential environment. Additionally, the department is supported by dedicated facilities and maintenance personnel.

Community Facilities

Residents of the student housing complex share the Student Housing Lodge. The facility provides a commons area with a fireplace, classroom, residence life offices, and television lounge. The building also houses a large laundry facility and secured weapons storage area for residents who wish to store firearms on campus. The Housing Lodge is the site for many social and educational activities. A community pavilion with grills, a playground, and a basketball court is located outside of the Housing Lodge. Residence Hall students have access to study and social lounges, kitchens, and laundry facilities on site in their respective halls.
