91Ô­´´ Admitted Student Experience

Feb. 13-14, 2026

 

 

Be a 91Ô­´´ student for a day.

Have an experience that you can only find in Fairbanks, 91Ô­´´, tailored to admitted students like you.

Navigate the snow-coated corners of 91Ô­´´'s Troth Yeddha' Campus in Fairbanks, where you'll find lessons and memories alike. Dive into a hands-on activity with a 91Ô­´´ professor in your major. Bond with new friends over lunch at 91Ô­´´'s Dine49 dining hall and maybe even meet your future roommate as you tour a 91Ô­´´ residence hall, your new home away from home. Have the kind of fun you can only find at 91Ô­´´'s Winter Carnival — go dog-sledding, climb an ice wall or even take a polar plunge. The choice is yours!

Hear the call to adventure that only Nanook Nation can offer you. Discover if you're bold enough to say yes.
