We Put the "U" in University

AMU fits your schedule and budget, not the other way around.

Many colleges treat you like a line item, and make you fit into their schedules and budgets. Not AMU. We recognize and respect your unique needs, schedules, financial situations—you name it. And make it all work best for you, not the other way around. Check out our admissions checklist below.

Transcript

Send Official Undergraduate or Higher Transcript

As an enrolled student, you must provide documentation of your conferred bachelor’s degree or higher from an institution whose accreditation is recognized by CHEA. You will not be eligible to register for courses until you have demonstrated conferral of a bachelor’s degree or higher.

You may provide an unofficial transcript of your bachelor’s or graduate degree (with conferral) or a copy of your diploma to your admissions coach so you may be permitted to register for courses. Students will then have 8 weeks from the start of their first course to submit their official transcript and complete their record.

Please have official transcripts mailed to:

APUS - Attn: Student Records
303 W 3rd Ave.
