What are the advantages to attending an APU All Access event?
A lot of people tell us when they plan their visit to APU that they want to “do it all,” but often struggle to fit everything in. APU All Access is strategically designed to pack it all into one full day of “infotainment.”
What meals are provided?
When you arrive on campus on Thursday evening, the curtain goes up! We suggest eating dinner before you check in with us, perhaps at a local Azusa favorite. Meal tickets for the cafeteria will also be available for purchase at the price of $5.
All meals on Friday are included in your package, and breakfast in the cafeteria will be available on Saturday morning for those who stay.
Where will I be housed?
All students will be housed with a current freshman in one of our four first-year residence halls. Our rooms do not come equipped with extra beds, so come prepared with your own sleeping bag, pillow, and maybe an air mattress.
Housing is not available for parents. Please view the listing of local accommodations.
I know a current student at APU; can I request to stay with him/her?
You may stay on campus with a friend, but we ask that you make those arrangements on your own. Upon checking in, please notify those assigning housing where and with whom you will be spending the night.
If I’m coming to APU All Access with a friend, can we request to stay together?Yes, but we assign housing at check-in. We will do our best to meet your request, but we suggest arriving together and as early as possible.
What should I bring with me?
- Your sleeping bag (air mattress if you prefer) and pillow
- Clothing for Friday and Saturday
- Toiletries
- A notebook and pen to take notes
- Your Bible
- Some spending money
- A cell phone (particularly if APU is picking you up from the airport)
Is airport transportation provided?
A shuttle service from/to Ontario International Airport is provided for students traveling without their parents. If you are traveling with your parents, rental cars and private taxi/shuttle services are available at the airport.
At this time, we are unable to provide transportation from/to any of the other Southern California airports.
Should I bring my parents?
Absolutely! We encourage families to visit APU together. A separate parent track will promise to keep your parents busy while they experience APU in a way that is relevant to them.
Will I be able to meet with my admissions counselor?
Our admissions staff is dedicated to running each session and attending to the needs of our 300-some guests at every All Access event, so they are not available for formal appointments on these days.
However, your counselor will be around campus all day! You’re sure to see them, and they’d love it if you said hello.
Will I be able to meet with someone from Student Financial Services?
A session dedicated to discussing the financial aid process is on the schedule. Financial aid officers will be on-hand to answer individual questions at the end of the session.
