Get Ready for Class

To help you gain an understanding of the AIU education process and familiarize yourself with our campus, we have an in-person orientation session and virtual classroom for new students prior to the start of classes.

The in-person session will enable you to:

• Meet with the Program Chair
• Get your photo ID
• Explore our Support Services area
• Scope out your classroom
• Verify your class schedule

AIUReady is a virtual classroom experience that will help you prepare for your classes and provides resources such as financial aid and time management strategies

• Purchase some basic school supplies: pens, pencils, highlighters, notebooks, sticky notes and a backpack or other carrying case. Additional needed supplies will be indicated per your course load.
• Set up a home work environment that allows you to read, write, research, study and concentrate in a setting free of clutter and distractions.
• Although computers are available for use on campus, a personal computer with internet access and Microsoft Office or similar software is recommended.

AIU’s Financial Aid Department can help you streamline the financial aid process, so you can focus your attention on achieving your degree. Our Financial Aid Department can help explain your financial aid options such as grants, loans and scholarships.

In order to determine what financial aid you may qualify for, you need to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
