Academic support

Atlantic International University is justly proud of its Academic Advisors. Their qualifications and expertise allow us to assert that your program will be evaluated by recognized specialists in the discipline, with extensive academic experience. The advisor’s responsibility is to guide the student through the key steps of the academic program.

In addition to the Academic Advisor, students are assigned a Tutor who works to keep students on track academically and to help resolve any challenges that may arise during the duration of the study program. Tutors can help guide you through the available tools and resources and how you can utilize them to gain the most from your AIU Academic Program

Resources and Services for AIU Online Students

Our Primary goal at Atlantic International University, is to accommodate students by meeting their individual needs. For this reason, our degree programs are flexible and have been designed for accelerated completion.

Our programs encourage students to demonstrate competency through independent learning as well as reading and research in their field of study. AIU offers educational opportunities in the United States to students from around the world in an effort to propel them to discover their best selves by using their own potential to manage their personal, global, and cultural development. This is actualized through the evaluation of their credentials towards a Bachelor’s, a Master’s, or a Doctorate degree, and this also implies capability for sustainable results-based performance. The foundational axis of such a philosophy rests on self-actualized knowledge and information, which is embedded into a distance learning system based on omniology and andragogy.

Earning your degree online or via distance learning with AIU is extremely enticing:

  • Work on assignments when convenient for you
  • Study at home or office
  • Access learning resources online any time you need them
  • Determine the courses that are most relevant to you
  • Earn credit for work experience gained through lifelong learning

Since AIU programs are self-paced, students need to have the discipline to push themselves and impose deadlines to guarantee progress is made on their assignments. AIU students enjoy greater freedom in the content of their assignments which in turn requires a greater degree of organization. Due to the nature of distance learning, students will need to be comfortable reading material on their own and working on exercises independently.

To assist students and increase the graduation rate AIU provides each student with access to their Online Student Section.

The Online Student Section allows students to:

  • Access Instructions and formats for orientation courses,
  • Keep a calendar of assignments with planned completion dates,
  • Upload/Post assignments,
  • Review Grades/Transcripts,
  • Post Questions or Messages with Student Services and/or your advisor,
  • Start the first phase of the program to establish the program curriculum,
  • Access the AIU Online Library

Research can be conducted at the AIU online library which has full-text access to 1600 journals and periodicals amounting to over 10 million sources. This is a quick and convenient way to begin your research on any topic or area from your curriculum. Your program is primarily through independent study and research. Just like in a traditional classroom, your course textbook (or other reference materials) will be your main resource. Your assessor will review the work or assignments done from the book or applied from the book to a practical exercise or project (this may be appropriate for you if your work relates to your field of study). Your grade is derived from the assessment of your assignment and an exam which will be administered orally via phone or sent to you via e-mail. There are no real deadlines or semesters to go by, you work at your own pace. Your only requirement is to set a study schedule and keep it up to date. Should there be delays or setbacks just resubmit with a revised schedule. The curriculum you take will be modified from the standard program to capture your unique interest and goals. Our goal is to make you aware of your strengths and weaknesses and allow your program to include the skills and knowledge that you need to reach your personal and professional aspirations.

At AIU you will actually build your own curriculum from courses that are appropriate for your personal and professional goals. Your advisor will make sure that your curriculum is appropriate for your field and complies with the generally accepted norms. Your first task is to select your appropriate courses and to learn about the profession that you want to study. Next, you may want to do a search online for your program and look at a few curriculums. You will soon learn that many of the courses offered at different institutions are similar if not identical. Your job will be to select the required number of courses within your field and a research topic for your Dissertation. The number of courses will depend on your experience, transfer credits, and professional goals. After your curriculum is set and your courses selected, you will proceed to work on your courses. Initially, we do not provide the student with a list of courses to choose from because the University wants you to compare other programs both domestic and international. In the event that you need assistance in designing your curriculum, one can be presented to you based on your particular situation and career goals. However, it is encouraged that you take the time to explore other programs to be more aware of what is available.
