More details

Students may spend up to one (1) semester and take pre-approved courses through a NOLS program. This experiential academic program allows the APU student to maintain all APU scholarships and other academic institutional aid to pay their NOLS tuition. Domestic (US) and international destinations are available. Students are responsible for their travel, course materials, NOLS fees and housing costs. Interested students apply by February 15 for the following academic year. All students must have a letter/memo of support from their academic advisor. Applications can be found in the Provost’s office.

For outgoing students (from APU to another institution): work with your academic advisor to ensure you will be taking courses that fit your academic program.
