College Credit Opportunities
Through partnerships with local universities, we provide scholars the chance to earn college credits while enrolled at AUS—helping them get a strong head start on their college journey.
How to Earn A Credit

Credit Flexibility provides options for students with high school standing to earn graduation credits through alternative ways outside of regularly scheduled classes. All Credit Flex options must be generated and planned by students according to the provisions and process outlined in the AUS Credit Flexibility Handbook and Application.
