Do students need to have prior experience before joining an intramural sports team?
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Nope, students don't need to have previous experience to join an intramural sports team. Students of all skill levels can join. While certain sports can get more competitive, everyone is pretty kind and welcoming. You'll simply pay a fee and join the league of your choice, either as an individual (if you just want to give it a try) or as a team (if you have a group of friends you'd like to join the league with).

Does University of Alaska Fairbanks allow students to double-major, and does it cost more?
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Yes, you can double major. It costs more only in the sense that you'll probably need to take some more classes than would be necessary to graduate with just one major. I sometimes joke that you can triple major if you want, if you have the time and the money.
