Has anyone obtained a Degree from AIU and used it to transfer to another college?

AIU has a regional accreditation by SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools).  It is the same accrediting body that all of the State universities in the south use.  \n\nTransfering degrees and credits should be no problem

Switching from a Community College to a University is easy, your Counselor should be able to help you with the transition.  Switching from an ONLINE DEGREE or a CORRESPONDENCE COURSE to an University is hard to do, cause most of these ONLINE programs or Correspondence courses are not ACCREDITED.\n\nGood Luck and Prosper...;*!*;...

You can transfer at any time.  When you transfer, you might lose some of the credits you earned at your current school.  It depends on what you took.  As a freshman, your classes were probably pretty basic and therefore should transfer without a problem.\n\nIf you are transferring because you don't know what you want to do yet, may I suggest going to a community college for 2 years and then transferring to a university?  At a CC, you can take a lot of different classes and they are usually less expensive.  When you get your 2 year degree from a CC, you can start as a Junior at at a university.  Many CC's have counselors from the universities right in their admission offices so you can meet with them and make sure you are taking what you need to have a smooth transfer. \n\nI was a professional transfer student, I went to 5 different colleges before graduating.  If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten an AA at a Community College and then transferred.  I had a lot of student loan debt coming out of school and I could have avoided that by picking a cheap school at the beginning.  You get a 2 year degree, but you will also get the "name-brand" 4 year degree when you transfer and graduate. \n\nGood luck!

Yep.  At least they did a few years ago.  One of my friends graduated with a degree in Communications from that school.

Both my husband and I did AIU online and it was so easy.  It was 100% online and depending on what major you were in you either had 1 or 2 classes every 5 weeks, with some breaks.  I lvoed it!!!  Good luck!

If you're taking the online class through the community college, you should have no problem transferring the credits just like a normal class. \n\n4 year universities might have different policies for transferring units from "online-only" universities, trade schools, or for-profit universities.\n\nBut yes, online classes require a lot of self-discipline and a *lot* of reading, writing, and independent learning. If that works for you, go for it!

yes it is possible, but you should contact the school of your choice first to see and make sure that the credits that you did take are transferrable..so that your semester or semesters wouldn't be a waste. the actual transferring process is quite simply you apply and send your transcript and then they accept or deny you and then if you get accepted call the school to go over the things and classes you have taken or will take that are transferrable. its a good thing to keepyou GPA up and all them because you can even get a scholarship just for being a transfer student

I doubt it. Check their catalog online, it will have credit transfer guidelines. Go to your admissions office to withdraw, and the new school will likely ask you for a transcript. Sorry, but that GPA is going to haunt you. Bummer. I know some schools will let you take the class over and average the grade, but not all of them. My best advice is to sit patiently and wait to talk to your counselor, and check the catalog for withrdrawl procedures.

All degrees are different, and follow their own curriculums.  You would probably have to give a pretty detailed description of your work to date to the new university, and they would judge if it was adequate to match the design of their course.  Speak to the university you want to transfer to, and see if they can help.  Be prepared though - this may not be possible at all.  What is your actual problem?  Is it location or is it the lecturers?  Can your currnet university help with your problem?

I didn't go there, but I know a lot who did because I go to UIC.  From what I heard, it's a fine school with lots of opportunities.  The students have no problem doing well at UIC.\nGood luck!

The units from the school where you received your Associates degree should transfer to the school you want to get your Bachelor's degree from.

I'm not sure but check their website.  Did you know it's extremely cheap to go to community college in IL.  They will give you tons of financial aid.  I left a few links to help you.

No, it is not harder. In the case of American Intercontinental University Online (AIU Online) the classes are accelerated and are only 5 weeks long total each class. This way, even if it sucks, it is over quick. It is a great school. I would check it out. 877-701-3800 I think is the number. My advisor's extension is 75900 and she was very helpful and professional. Good luck!

I used to be. I graduated many years ago. Truthfully, if it hadn't been for the Honors College, my education would have been lacking. We had special lectures and challenging courses in economics, the arts and sciences and many other fields that simply weren't available to the rest of the campus (which I think, in retrospect, was a crime because everybody could have learned from them). I'm not sorry I did it, and would recommend it to anybody. You may end up not liking it and eventually make the choice to leave the program, but at least give it a try.
