LS101 is part of the UAF Core Curriculum [1] requirements needed for graduation. To fulfill this core requirement you may choose either one of the following two options:
Complete the one-credit course [2] by registering for a classroom section on Fairbanks main campus OR a Web-based section, OR a correspondence section offered via the Center for Distance Education.
Pass the LS 101 Competency Exam, administered by UAF's Testing Services [3]. You may take the test twice if necessary. The test is offered twice each semester at scheduled times or by individual appointment. Contact Testing Services, located in Room 207B of Gruening Building, (Room 211 of Gruening after 9/15/08) for the schedule of dates and times and current exam fees. NOTE: You may not take the exam if you are registered for the LS 101 course.
