Find Felony Records in College

College is a census-designated place near Fairbanks where felony records are handled through the Fourth Judicial District and the Fairbanks courthouse. Criminal case filings tied to College are searchable for free using Alaska's CourtView public access system at records.courts.alaska.gov. The portal lists charges, hearings, and case outcomes for felony and misdemeanor cases in the area. This page explains where College felony records are held, which agencies to contact, and how to request copies of criminal case documents.

College Felony Records and CourtView

All felony cases in College go through the Fairbanks courthouse at 101 Lacey Street, Fairbanks, AK 99701. The phone number for the courthouse is (907) 452-9277. The Superior Court handles felony charges, and the District Court handles misdemeanors and civil cases under $100,000. Case records from both courts appear in CourtView once they are filed.

CourtView is free to use and does not require a login. You can search by the defendant's name, a case number, or a date range. Results show the charges, the case type, hearing dates, and whether the case was dismissed, resolved by plea, or went to trial. For College felony records, select the Fourth District when filtering your search. This narrows results to cases filed in Fairbanks-area courts, which cover College and surrounding unincorporated areas of the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

The main court search page at courts.alaska.gov links directly to CourtView and explains what records are available. Some older cases may not appear online. If CourtView does not return what you need, call the Fairbanks courthouse directly to ask about physical records.

UAF Police Department and Campus Records

The University of Alaska Fairbanks Police Department covers the UAF campus and the surrounding area that includes much of College. The UAF Police Department can be reached at (907) 474-7721, or by dialing x7721 from a campus phone. For emergencies, call 911.

UAF PD handles incident reports, campus safety investigations, and coordinates with Alaska State Troopers on cases that extend beyond campus. The department publishes an annual security report that includes crime statistics for the campus and nearby areas. If you are searching for records tied to an incident that occurred on or near the UAF campus, the UAF Police Department is the right starting point. They can tell you whether a report was filed and how to request a copy.

Campus police records fall under the Clery Act reporting requirements. Annual security reports are posted on the UAF PD website and include data on felony offenses reported to campus authorities. These are public documents and do not require a formal records request to access.

The UAF Police Department website provides access to campus security reports, records request procedures, and contact details for the department serving the College area. The screenshot below is from the UAF Police Department page.

You can submit a records request through the UAF Police Department for incidents on or near campus, including cases that may have escalated to felony charges.

Alaska State Troopers - Fairbanks Post

For incidents in the unincorporated areas of College that are not on the UAF campus, the Alaska State Troopers Fairbanks Post handles law enforcement. The Fairbanks Post can be reached at (907) 451-5100. Troopers investigate crimes, make arrests, and file felony charges through the Fairbanks courthouse. If a College felony record involves a trooper investigation, the case will appear in CourtView under the Fourth District.

To request a copy of a trooper incident report, submit a public records request to the Alaska Department of Public Safety. The Public Records Act under AS 40.25.110 governs these requests. Allow several business days for processing. Reports linked to ongoing investigations may not be available right away.

Note: College does not have its own municipal police department, so the Alaska State Troopers and UAF Police share law enforcement duties for this area.

Alaska Criminal Records and Background Checks

Criminal history in Alaska is governed by AS 12.62. The Alaska Department of Public Safety maintains a statewide criminal history database. You can request a name-based background check for $20 or a fingerprint-based check for $35 through the DPS background check portal at dps.alaska.gov. These checks return more complete criminal history than a CourtView search alone, because they include records from multiple agencies across the state.

Felony classifications in Alaska are set out in AS 11.81. Class A felonies are the most serious and carry the longest prison terms. Class B and Class C felonies carry progressively shorter sentences. Unclassified felonies such as murder carry mandatory minimums defined by specific statutes. College felony records in CourtView will show the charge class, which helps you understand the severity of the case you are looking at.

Sex Offender Registry and VINE Lookups

Two other tools are useful when researching criminal records in the College area. The Alaska Sex Offender Registry lists people convicted of qualifying sex offenses. Registration is required under AS 12.63.010. The registry is searchable by name or location at sor.dps.alaska.gov and includes current address, photo, and the offense that required registration.

VINE is an inmate tracking and notification service. You can look up a person held in Alaska's corrections system at vinelink.com or by calling 1-800-247-9763. VINE also sends alerts when a person is released, transferred, or escapes. This is a free service for anyone who wants to track someone held after a felony arrest in the College area.
