43. May I take longer than the high school years to complete the A.A. track?

2020-07-29T20:46:04+00:00

Yes. Students may take up to three years from the time of matriculation into the Holy Apostles Associate's degree program-which they do upon their graduation from high school (or home school equivalent)-to complete the entire A.A. program, and another three years (so six years total) to complete their B.A. at Holy Apostles, if they wish. So there is plenty of time to complete the track.

41. Are there any discounts available for the A.A. track?

2023-01-11T14:47:03+00:00

Yes, there is a 20% family discount for the 2nd, 3rd or more siblings in the A.A. track (the family discount is not available for the first/highest tuition sibling enrolled). If a sibling subsequently withdraws from the program, the discount terminates for any remaining lone sibling, and goes back up to the $397 per month payment beginning at the time the other sibling withdraws.  The 5% payment-in-full discount is also available, as are any early enrollment discounts (usually: April 5%; May 3%)

40. What is the advantage of the A.A. track?

2020-07-29T20:44:13+00:00

First, it is a seamless track to a Catholic, accredited Associate's degree earned during high school (or home school equivalent) -  already laid out and arranged for you. Secondly, because the A.A. track combines three elements (the Great Books courses, the four Theology Online courses and the five Holy Apostles courses), we are able to discount the overall price considerably. Absent the combination, the cost of those 75 credits would be approximately $20,000 priced separately; so the A.A. track reduces tuition costs about 25%. Thirdly, the A.A. track price is also locked in for students who either pay in full or [...]

39. I notice that the Great Books Program has two other other payment options, for a “High School track” and a “College track” – how do these relate to the A.A. track?

2020-07-29T20:43:41+00:00

The High School track option does not include any college credit and may not be used for the A.A. track: it involves considerably less study and less written work. The College track is also not part of the A.A. track: it involves the same study and time for students, but is priced independently, per course (e.g., just a Great Books or Theology Online course), and is useful mainly for students planning to attend colleges other than Holy Apostles College & Seminary, or who prefer not to commit to the A.A. track and just want to take individual courses. The A.A. track is only available for [...]

38. Are federal student loans available for the A.A. track?

2020-07-29T20:42:53+00:00

No, a high school diploma (or home school equivalent) is required to qualify for Federal student loans. However they are available for the Holy Apostles courses beyond the A.A. track– that is, for the Holy Apostles bachelor’s degrees. For information on federal loans contact: http://www.holyapostles.edu/tuition-and-financial-aid/ or call the Holy Apostles Financial Aid office at 860.632.3020 or email finaid@holyapostles.edu That said, for students who complete two years of the Great Books Program, it is possible they may be able to qualify for federal students loans for the five Holy Apostles courses in the A.A. track. The Department of Education is experimenting with and [...]

37. Are there any fees not included in the $397 per month payments?

2023-01-11T14:53:44+00:00

The payments include all tuition and fees in the A.A. track. However is does not include the cost of any books (note: the Great Books are easily borrowed from libraries and are almost all available online for free). Students who pursue a B.A. at Holy Apostles following earning their A.A. will need to consult the Holy Apostles website catalog for then-current fee information.

36. What if I start and later decide the A.A. track is not for me?

2020-07-29T20:39:16+00:00

Students may quit at any time, with no further financial obligation; however payments already made (monthly or per semester) are nonrefundable (except for the five Holy Apostles College & Seminary courses: Holy Apostles grants tuition refunds to students who have officially withdrawn from class(es) on the following schedule: Prior to first day of classes, 100% refund; by the first Friday of classes, 75% refund; by the third Friday of classes, 50% refund; by the fifth Friday of classes, 25% refund; after the fifth Friday of classes, no refund. What this means for A.A. track students is that when they decide to take the five [...]

The first payment is due upon enrollment and monthly thereafter, through May the fourth year (which is typically the time of graduation/A.A. degree completion).
