Miscellaneous InformationIn order to qualify for federal loans and grants touse toward AU/GU tuition a student must registeron campus at the AU/GU ofce and be taking anequal amount or more credits on-campus comparedto distance education credits.

Payment of tuition directly to GU does not qualifya student for deferment of government studentloans. This can happen only when a student isconcurrently taking on-campus courses and hasenrolled and paid for the AU/GU course(s) throughthe AU/GU ofce at Andrews University.

The tuition for AU/GU courses is not included inthe Andrews University 12-16 on campus tuitionpackage plan since the majority of the tuitionfor these courses does not belong to AndrewsUniversity. Also, the AU/GU credits do not counttoward the minimum of 12 credits a student mustbe taking at Andrews University to qualify forthe Andrews Partnership Scholarship.

International students may count only one AU/GUcourse of 3 credits or less toward the minimumof 12 credits they need to maintain internationalstudent status.

While GU gives a student a year to nish acourse, if the student registers for an AU/GUcourse through Andrews University and appliesthe charges to their AU student account, thestudent must nish the course by the time gradesare due for the term during which they enrolledin the course. If they do not nish by this timethey will receive a deferred grade. This grade will

be changed to the grade the student earns uponcompletion of the course. However, grades canjeopardize the students nancial aid status.

For AU/GU course grades to be applied towardgraduation requirements these courses need tobe completed three weeks prior to the due datefor grades for graduating seniors (2 weeks beforegraduation) in any given term in order for GU andthe course teacher to have time to grade the nalexam and submissions and send a nal grade toAndrews University.
