APPLICATION
An application for admission must be completed, signed, and accurate. The American Global University admissions philosophy is that the thorough evaluation of an applicant’s lifelong learning experience is essential. Therefore, it is important to submit an autobiographical outline containing any and all information that may be of value in this crucial evaluation, including military service, extensive exposure to various cultures, professional training, workshops, seminars, work history, etc. Supporting documentation is required in the evaluation of the application. If it is not available at the time the application is submitted, the evaluation will be made based on the information already received. All supporting documentation must be submitted prior to registration for courses.
TRANSCRIPTS AND DEGREES
Applications will be reviewed based on the information given, even if transcripts are not available at that time. However, official transcripts of previous credit earned must be submitted prior to registration for courses. An official transcript is defined as an original transcript from the institution that is stamped or marked as an official copy and sealed in an envelope that is also marked as official. Students should have the transcript sent directly from the institution to AGU. Please note that if the envelope’s seal is broken or has been tampered with, AGU cannot accept the transcript as being official.
EVALUATION PROCEDURE
Applicant evaluations will be conducted by the Admissions Committee, consisting of the admissions director, dean of the applicable college, and a faculty member from the related college or department. The application materials will be evaluated, and a determination will be made regarding the amount of past academic credits that are transferable, as well as the number of experiential credits, if any, that will be awarded. Another aspect the committee will consider is the applicant’s ability to work in a non-traditional program. From these evaluations, the Individualized Academic Program (IAP) will be designed. This IAP will demonstrate how each applicant may achieve his or her degree goal in the most direct way and with the least tuition cost. Upon receipt of the IAP, the applicant will know exactly what must be accomplished in order to earn the degree. At that point, the applicant can make the decision of when to begin his or her program.
