Apply for UAF Credit
Through its partnership with UAF Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning , Festival is able to offer some of its classes for UAF credit.
In order to obtain UAF credit for coursework, a certain number of hours spent in FSAF classes is required. For applied art, applied music, and dance, it is the registrant's responsibility to ensure they are signed up for enough FSAF classes to satisfy the requirement.
