Important Information
Greetings AUA Students,
I hope you had a great Fall 1 experience! Please keep the following in mind as you proceed to Fall 2 and Spring Semester.
Spring Semester Registration is ongoing… Register Now!
If you have not registered for spring semester courses, do so immediately. Your schedule is available in the student portal. You will be charged a late registration fee of $50 dollars if you do not register by November 11th. Remember time out of school is reported to the National Clearinghouse. It may count against your grace period for student loan re-payment.
Seriously consider registering for more than one class. You will be surprised at how much less you will pay for your degree and how much less loan debt you will have upon graduation.
Real Scenario – Fictitious Student:
Jack is taking one class per semester in the Master of Arts in Forensics Psychology Program (MAFP). His course cost for the year is $4,167. He is approved for Subsidized and Unsubsidized Student Loan totaling $20,398. His total refund for the year is $16,388. The program requires 48 hours of study. Because he takes only nine (9) credit hours per year or one (1) course per semester, it will take him 5.3 years to complete the MAFP. At this rate, he will have student loan debt of over $100,000 when total tuition and fees is approximately $26,640. The lifetime loan limit for a graduate student (except for PSYD) is $138,500. At this rate, Jack will not be able to complete a doctorate using financial aid loan funds. Does this sound familiar? Avoid this scenario by adding another class to your Spring Semester course schedule or return a portion of your refund to save for later use. Contact Finanial Aid for more information. They are happy to help.
Attendance Requirements:
You are required to attend class. If you are enrolled in a blended course, your class officially begins October 28th. So, log in to the eCollege portal or respond to your professor between October 28th and November 5th. We will drop you from the course(s) on November 5th if you fail to physically attend (if scheduled); log in to eCollege; or respond to your professor. If your class meets on campus, you must attend during the scheduled class meetings. If you are enrolled in an online course, you must login and participate before November 5th.
Add/Drop Deadlines:
The add/drop deadline for Fall 2 is November 5th. You may withdraw with a “W” grade from November 6th to December 1st.
Late Registration for Fall 2:
You will not be able to register for any Fall 2 courses after November 5th. So don’t delay. Use the attached Add/Drop form to complete your registration now. If you are on a financial hold, you have until that time to clear it up. Contact FA immediately.

Parking lots are an easy target for thieves looking for a “quick score.” Vehicles parked in parking lots are targeted when valuables are left in plain sight, and in instances where thieves have had prior success with break-ins and vandalization. Alert motorists can make a proactive contribution to ensure a safe parking lot and reduce the likelihood of incident.Before you park
• Find a parking space you feelomfortable parking in.
• Park in a well-lit area. Avoid parking in a secluded area.
• Remove all valuables from sight. “Out of sight out of mind, if they can’t see it, they can’t steal it”
When you park
• Always lock your car and roll up the windows.
• Never hide a spare key in or around your vehicle.
• Remember your specific parking location. Carefully note the aisle numbers and/or letters.
• Never leave your car engine running or with the keys in the ignition, even if you are only gone for a moment.
• Be aware of everything and everyone around you.
• If you notice a stranger or suspicious person loitering in or around the parking lot, immediately notify security or the police.
After you park
• Walk with purpose and confidence.
• Keep your keys in hand as you walk to your vehicle.
• Working late? Request for a security escort to your vehicle or walk with a group or coworkers.
• Upon return to your parking location, inspect the exterior and interior of the vehicle before getting inside.
• If you have a flat tire, immediately return to the building and ask for help.
• Never open your vehicle door or window to accept help from a stranger.
• When you get into your vehicle, immediately lock your doors (before buckling your seatbelt) and turn on your headlights.
• If a suspicious person approaches your car, honkyour car horn.
• If you sense someone may be following you, switch directions or cross the street. If this does not deter the stranger, immediately proceed to an open store, restaurant or lighted house.
• Never be afraid to call or shout for help.
