FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TUITION and FEES (Campus Studies):  All tuition and fees are due at the beginning of each quarter unless arrangements are made prior to the beginning of the Quarter.  Students who cannot pay the full amount will be asked to sign a “payment plan statement.”

Matriculation Fee:  This is the same as one credit hour.

Transcript Fee:  This is five dollars.

For current fee information see insert in back of catalog.                       

Tuition is charged for up to and including ten quarter hours.  There is no charge for hours taken in excess of ten in a given quarter,  BUT, All classes a student registers for MUST BE COMPLETED in the same quarter registered, or ALL discounts are nullified and courses NOT completed are “rolled over” to the next quarter for completion along with the extra (discounted) fees.  This does NOT apply to “external” students.  The maximum number of hours per quarter is fifteen.  If more are desired the student must petition the academic dean.

Audit Classes:  All ON-Campus students may audit classes.  An Auditing Student does NOT receive Credit for the class.  They do NOT take exams.  The fees for auditing classes are one-half the tuition of the regular course fee

(A minimum of 5 paying students must be registered for a class before a student can audit a class).  NOTE:  This Is NOT available for “external” students.

Senior citizens (age 65 and over) may request a reduced rate based on need.   For more information, see AUBS office staff.  Admission to a class depends upon available seats with no more than fifteen students in a class and no less than five paying students minimum.  This is not available to external students.

EXTERNAL STUDIES:  Costs will vary depending upon the course of study chosen.  All tuition costs are the same as those for “on-campus” students.  Contact Director of Admissions for specific information.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION:  The fee for Credit by Examination is equal to the cost of one credit hour (Bachelors or Masters).  This is done only in exceptional situations.  Contact the Director of Admissions for details.

REFUND POLICY:  If a student withdraws from a course before the beginning of:

Week 2: 70% of tuition for that course is refunded.

Week 3: 50% of tuition for that course is refunded.

Week 4: 30% of tuition for that course is refunded.

If a student withdraws after the beginning of week 4, no tuition is refunded.  

Fees are NEVER refundable, no matter when withdrawal occurs.

* FEES CAN CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.  (Call: (404) 284-0037) OR VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT www.AUBS.EDU.

WORK STUDY:  Work study programs may be arranged for students who need help in meeting their tuition.  This is done on an individual and short-term basis.  Work will be performed for the school and applied to tuition at a rate established by the President (per hour) and is subject to the availability of work and the need of the student.  Recipients must complete a financial need application for each quarter and a copy of the previous year’s W2 FORM must accompany the application.
