Veterans Day

On this Veterans Day we would like to thank all of our servicemen and women for their service and sacrifice to our nation.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae, (1872 - 1918)

Registration Updates

Hello Argosy University Students,

Once again, thank you so much for being patient with us as we continue to transition to Campus Vue.

As you know, we took Spring registration offline while we address some issues with the system. Don’t be concerned about your opportunity to register. You will be able to register as usual when the system goes back up without a late fee assessment. We will keep you posted.
Also, we are very aware of the student portal issues. We are working on that too. Please see the message below from the Online Service Coordinator:

“For students that cannot access eCollege because of issues with the student portal, please direct them to either of the two following links:
http://www.myeclassonline.com/ (need to choose "no" at the popup window)
