Parents of Prospective Students

family3.jpgWe understand: You’re considering entrusting AU with your student’s future. We want to try and ease your mind, so here are a few things for you to know.

By attending AU, your student will benefit from a university that offers:

  • Strong academics
  • Preparation for a life of meaning, leadership and service
  • Expert, mentoring faculty
  • An extraordinary value


Information is power
Our Web site is packed with information to help you and your student sort through admission and financial aid procedures. It’s also a good place to read about AU’s points of pride so that you can compare apples to apples when looking at other schools. If you’re concerned about campus safety, know that we have that covered, too.

To help you, we’ve gathered tips from other parents — people who have been right where you are, walking that fine line between parenting and allowing your student to decide on his or her own which college is best.
