Clerkship Housing Policy

Students are expected to strictly adhere to the AK WWAMI housing policies regarding housing checkin and departures times. Failure to follow these check in/check out times impacts the ability for required cleaning and repairs to be completed in preparation for incoming students.

Arrival/Check-in: Students may check in to AK WWAMI housing after 3PM on the Sunday prior to the start of their rotation. Early arrivals require prior approval from the AK WWAMI Regional Office and are not guaranteed. Housing accommodations prior to the designated check-on date and time will be the student’s responsibility and expense unless early arrival permission has been granted.

Departure/Check-out: Students must vacate the AK WWAMI housing on 3PM on Friday afternoon of the last day of their rotation. Late departures must be requested in advance from the AK WWAMI Regional Office and are not guaranteed. 

Please reach out to Ciera Stafford in the AK Regional Office with questions or arrival/departure requests.
