| Admissions
Evaluation |
|
In
evaluating applicants to the University,
the Office of Admissions considers a candidate’s
potential for success both while in school
and beyond. The desired qualities a successful
applicant possesses are assessed in terms
of our curriculum, our community, and
your career.
Upon
applying for admissions, the University
provides an Academic Credential Evaluation
(ACE). This is included with the Application
Fee. The ACE consists of a thorough evaluation
of submitted transcripts, foreign credential
evaluations, Application for Experiential
Learning Credit, Library Acknowledgement,
and any other documentation. |

dormitory facilities under its control.
The University has no responsibility to
find or assist in finding housing. |
| Student
ID Card Services |
| The
University issues student ID cards upon
acceptance & enrollment. Photographs
can be submitted in hard copy or digital
format. The official University identification
card is non-transferable. The ID card remains
the property of the University, is governed
by the University regulations, and expires
when the holder is no longer affiliated
with the University. Replacement cards are
an additional fee. |
| Academic
Advising |
| Sometimes
students experience academic difficulties
not because they do not understand the specific
course material, but rather due to other
factors such as excessive anxiety, poorly
developed study skills, or unrealistic expectations
about how much they can handle. Academic
Advising can help students figure out what
may be impeding their academic progress,
and assist them in taking steps to address
the problem(s). The University provides
a friendly setting in which students may
explore concerns of a personal, academic,
or career-related nature. |
| Study
Groups |
Classroom
Students
The University believes that study groups
can be very valuable in the learning process.
They can provide support, discipline,
and ready feedback. Residential Students
can form study groups on campus.
Distance
Learning Students
As with any distance-learning program
with students throughout the world, it
is difficult for students to convene in
traditional study groups for learning
purposes. The University provides for
“electronic interaction” between
students and their Faculty Mentors, which
it believes offsets this limitation. Through
electronic means, students are in direct
one-on-one contact with their Faculty
Mentors and Academic Advisors to enhance
their learning. |

| Library
Services |
IAU’s
campus library exists primarily to serve
the scholarly and research needs of the
faculty and students of University. The
library contains mainly specialized holdings
in those subject areas relevant to the
University's course offerings - business,
management, and English.
ProQuest Research Library™ is an online academic resource that
is available for IAU students. From business
and political science to literature and
psychology, ProQuest Research Library™
provides one-stop access to a wide range
of popular academic subjects. The database
includes more than 4,000 titles - nearly
2,800 in full text - from 1971 forward.
It features a highly-respected, diversified
mix of scholarly journals, trade publications,
magazines, and newspapers. This combination
of general reference volume and scope
makes it one of the broadest, most inclusive
general reference databases ProQuest has
to offer.
It’s
ideal for academic libraries, providing
resources for both the basic needs and
high-end requirements of students and
researchers. ProQuest Research Library
is designed to cover the top 150 core
academic subject reference areas—and
cover them extensively—so not only
is it an invaluable database for a number
of different academic disciplines, it’s
also accessible to readers and researchers
at every level.

| Alumni
Association |
The
mission of the Alumni Association of the
University is to foster a mutually beneficial
relationship between the University and
its alumni ... to perpetuate a sense of
pride in and commitment to the outstanding
qualities of the University and the education
it provides, and to promote, in partnership,
a positive image of the University and
its alumni through communication, service
and leadership.
The
University Alumni Association believes
that its responsibility is to work with
the entire campus community and alumni
to cultivate a sense of loyalty among
all alumni towards Alma Mater. An IAU
education involves a life-long process
of learning, teaching, leading, and serving
to advance the University. With each passing
year the diversity of students, alumni,
faculty, staff, administrators, and friends
of the University increases. We therefor,
believe it is important for all members
of the University Alumni Association to
focus attention on the following four
value statements.
-
We value the relationship that all Alumni
have with the University.
-
We value the service that Alumni provide
to the campus community and their local
communities on behalf of the University.
-
We value the philanthropy that Alumni
contribute to the University.
-
We value the heritage of our University
and hope that all Alumni strive to learn
from the past as we focus on the future.
