Graduation Requirements

To receive an associate degree or bachelor's degree from Allied American University, you must satisfy all of the graduation requirements. This includes completing the right number of credits, maintaining a specific grade point average (GPA) and fulfilling general education courses.

At AAU, we pair you with a Program Success Advocate (PSA) and provide access to helpful staff members in the Department of Academic Affairs to ensure that all of these requirements are met in a timely manner.

For an associate degree, you must:

  • Earn a minimum of 60 credit hours, of which 15 credit hours must be earned through AAU required courses.
  • Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 system) overall in a declared major.
  • Fulfill the general education requirements as directed by the degree program.

For a bachelor's degree, you must:

  • Earn a minimum of 120 credit hours, of which 30 credit hours must be earned through AAU required courses.
  • Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 (on a 4.0 system) overall in a declared major.
  • Fulfill the general education requirements as directed by the degree program.

Note:

Graduation with honors can be awarded to students who maintain a GPA of 3.5 or above. University honors are determined as follows:

Graduation With Honors GPA Requirements
Honors Categories GPA Requirement
Summa Cum Laude 3.90 to 4.00
Magna Cum Laude 3.70 to 3.89
Cum Laude 3.50 to 3.69

 

Graduation:

Once a student has determined that all requirements have been met, the student submits the AAU Application for Program Conferral to their Program Success Advocate. Graduating students must resolve any outstanding financial obligations before submitting a completed AAU Application for Program Conferral. After all academic and administrative requirements have been met students will receive two official transcripts and their diploma. Degrees with Allied American University are conferred on a monthly basis. The conferral date is defined as the date on which a student's degree is officially awarded.
