Persons who are 1) 25 years or older OR 2) who are active military or veterans, AND have not enrolled in a degree program in the last 2 years, may apply as adult students.  Adult applicants to all online undergraduate certificates, associate and bachelor programs need:

• A transcript showing completion of high/secondary school or equivalent (e.g. GED) AND transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended
• Evidence of English language proficiency if past education was completed where English was not the language of instruction (see accepted test scores here)
• A grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher, calculated including all secondary (when less than 25 college credits have been earned) and post-secondary transcripted grades, converted to the US 4.0 GPA scale. Re-applicants 25 years or older who have been inactive for at least 2 semesters may be admitted as adult students with an Andrews University GPA of 2.0 or better.

3. Then click to start an application.
4. Select UNDERGRADUATE as level, DISTANCE/ONLINE as campus, the semester you'd like to begin (Fall starts in August, Spring in January, Summer in May/June), then read directions to fill in all the personal info carefully. 
5. If you previously attended Andrews, add a comment noting any name change and your AU ID if remembered. 
6. After submitting the application, gather all transcripts, scan or take photos and upload as supplemental items. The application will not be processed until there is a transcript from each school/college/university you listed in the application. If you don't have a copy, request an official transcript be emailed to undergrad@andrews.edu then forward any confirmation you received to alert Undergraduate Admissions to the incoming transcript.
7. Once you have all transcript copies uploaded, watch for an admission decision within 2-3 business days. If you have any questions or additional information, email undergrad@andrews.edu right away.

It all depends on choices you make, such as:

• the number of credits you transfer in or earn as credit for prior learning
• your pace - full-time or part-time (most commonly 2 classes per semester)
• your budget - a mix of scholarships, personal savings, and loans
• your progress - passing all classes with grades of C or higher is the goal

Our goal is to help you accelerate your path to completion with flexible classes, available each semester, with all the support you need to succeed online!

Whenever you're ready to make studying a priority! Now's a great time to work out a degree completion plan to see the path clearly, then share your plan with your employer, family and friends to support your transition.  Adding study will take subtracting other demands/priorities in your life, so consider what you can stop, postpone, delegate, or more efficiently do.
