Name: Matthew Mathews

Student Number: 3051463

Major/Concentration: Criminal Justice/ Intelligence Methods

Instructions: The AMU Program is divided into lower and upper divisions. Freshman and Sophomore years (100-200 level courses) comprise the lower division and the AA Degree. Junior and Senior years (300-400 level courses) comprise the upper division. Your AMU AA Degree is identical to your AMU BA degree lower level requirements and will be transferred by AMU as such. Planning Priorities - It is recommended that you complete the majority of lower division course requirements before taking courses in the upper division. Normally, the priority for planning is RQ295, general education courses, lower level electives, required upper level courses, core courses, major courses and finally upper level electives. However, if you are pursuing a certificate program instead of a degree or if you are taking Internship courses, you may schedule them along with the above priorities. Pre-requisite courses should be taken in the correct order (i.e. Take EN 101 and then take EN 102). Courses do not have to be taken during the year or term indicated on this form because the APS is only a projected plan and is subject to courses actually offered in a future course bulletin. You can plan one or two semesters ahead with relative certainty by reviewing projected courses in the online registration bulletin. The APS is valuable because it helps you identify degree requirements, establish a timeline for degree completion, and integrate your academic and career plans. Note that MA109 does not count towards your degree completion and that EN100 cannot be used to meet a General Education requirement (however - it can be used as an elective). For the Initial Academic Plan Summary (APS), you should list all college credit you think will transfer (previous college courses, CLEP, DSST, Army ACE Registry Transcript Summary (AARTS), Sailors and Marine ACE Registry Transcript (SMARTS), Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), military and/or civilian experience, training, and education). Later in the semester, you will update the initial APS with your official transfer credit approved by AMU and submit a Final APS. You may need to periodically update your APS based on a change of major or new transfer credit approvals. Note: Your APS is a separate and distinct course requirement and is not the same as your Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE). To receive a TCE you must contact credit@apus.edu and pay a $75 fee. Your degree requirements are found at http://www.apus.edu/AMU/navigation/academic_programs/catalog/CatalogUndergraduate.doc, which is the Course Catalog found at the AMU or APU homepage. Go to the Table of Contents page and click on your desired degree. You will be taken to the requirements for your degree. To complete your APS you will need to select individual general education courses and elective courses that are not listed in your degree path. You can find individual courses listed by subject area by going to http://www.apus.edu/AMU/home/AMU/ . Going to the Associates Degrees and the Bachelor Degrees buttons after you click on Academic Programs will provide you with courses from 100-400 level in a multitude of subject areas.
