Non-Azusa Pacific Students
Non-APU students are welcomed and encouraged to attend the L.A. Term. These students are designated as "visiting scholars" by Azusa Pacific University, which allows them to remain enrolled in their home universities while participating in L.A. Term. Students receive 15 units of course credit from APU after completing the term, which is transferred to their home universities. There must be a consortium agreement between APU and the student's home university in order for all credits to transfer. Non-APU students should consult directly with the director of the L.A. Term or other L.A. Term staff to see if an agreement currently exists.
Cost of L.A. Term for Non-APU Students
Non-APU students pay APU tuition rates for their classes at L.A. Term. Room and board for the semester is $2,000, which covers housing and three meals per day. Students pay tuition, room, and board costs to their home universities, just as they would if they were on campus for the semester. APU then bills the student's home university for the L.A. Term. Students should have roughly $920 available while on the L.A. Term for other costs including books, field trips, lunches, and personal expenses.
Financial Aid for Non-APU Students
All financial aid you receive at your home university may be applied toward L.A. Term.
Applying to L.A. Term as a Non-APU Student
