Minimum Number of Courses Required Per Year

In order to remain enrolled at APUS, students must register and complete at least one course in each 12-month period. If a student does not complete at least one course every 12 months, they will be considered as having left the university, and they will be disenrolled. Courses from which students withdraw do not meet this requirement. Other activities with the university other than course completion do not prevent students from being disenrolled.

• If a student is disenrolled from the university and wishes to return later, they would be reapplying under the new program requirements in place at the time they reapply. This can cause loss of credit.

If students know they will need to take a break from their studies, they should submit the online Program Hold Request Form at no charge, so that their place in a program is reserved for them.

Students can contact [email protected] with questions regarding the annual requirement.
