What To Expect When Getting Started
-
What do you want to do with the rest of your life?
Maybe you already have an answer. But if you don’t, that’s okay. We can help you figure it out.
When you get in touch with us, we’ll discuss your goals and dreams. If University of Phoenix is a good fit for you, we’ll explore some degree options together and help you find your ideal program. We’ll also talk about how you like to learn and discuss ways to fit school into your busy schedule, so you can make an informed decision about taking classes online, on-campus or both.
Once you’re sure about what you want to study, getting started is really simple. You can complete the entire enrollment process with an enrollment advisor. They’ll take you through it, step-by-step, help you fill out the admission forms, and be your go-to-person leading up to your first day of class. They’ll also set you up with your Graduation Team —your team of advisors that will support you all the way until graduation.
This is an on-demand education, available whenever you want to start. So you tell us when you’re ready. In the meantime, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. And be sure to check out the Visiting Student Center on phoenix.edu, where you can get a glimpse of the resources available on eCampus for University of Phoenix students.

University of Phoenix
What to expect videoIn school, as in life, clarity is good...Confusion isn't.
No one GETS THAT more than the faculty and staff at University of Phoenix.
That's why we thought it would be helpful to walk you through what to expect...
...and what not to expect...when you attend our University...
...and enroll for course work towards a diploma.
Before you enroll in our University, we must politely ask...
...are you truly willing to make the commitment?
Education requires hard work and dedication.
It demands time...energy...and financial resources.
You'll need to study. You'll need to spend fifteen to twenty hours per week.
You'll need to login to our student website at least four times per week for active class discussion.
Are you willing and able to do that? Are you sure?VO:
Thomas Edison defined genius as "one percent inspiration...ninety nine percent perspiration."The same is true of education. To succeed at University of Phoenix...
...you'll need to apply yourself and be willing to work hard.
To say the least, we want all of our students to succeed...but you'll need to do your part.
Of course, every job requires proper tools. Education is no different.
Students enrolled in our online programs or in our local campuses...
...must have access to a computer or a laptop.
To do the work assigned, you'll need the necessary supplies and software.
The better equipped you are, the more empowered you'll feel to perform.
Now a brief word about financing.
As you probably know, education isn't free. And money doesn't grow on trees.
Like checkout at any store, paying for tuition is a requirement.
We recommend you plan your financing in advance.
You may qualify for a loan. You may qualify for a grant.
But ALL students are responsible for meeting their financial commitments...
...and all loans need to be repaid when you successfully complete your degree program or if you withdraw from the University for any reason.
Before you make your final decision, we encourage you to thoughtfully consider whether these are commitments you are able and ready to fulfill.
We know you have a choice in schools and you'll need to weigh your options.
Other schools may offer similar programs at a lower cost. Only you can decide which school is the best fit for you.
But if your choice is University of Phoenix, we welcome you....and we'll look forward to helping you unlock your fullest potential.
