The Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998 requires universities to make a “good faith effort” to make voter registration forms available to you.  Voter registration forms are available to Ave Maria University students in the Office of Academic Records during normal business hours. 

Please see the website of the U. S. Election Assistance Commission for further information regarding voter registration, at http://www.eac.gov.  Interested parties can select to register to vote by mail at https://www.eac.gov/voters/national-mail-voter-registration-form/

Credit earned at other, accredited, post-secondary institutions can be applied to Ave Maria University requirements, provided the student earned at least a “C-” in each course proposed for transfer. When students from other institutions apply to Ave Maria University their official transcripts should be sent to the Office of Admissions. Upon acceptance, unless otherwise desired in advance, Admissions will send their transcripts and a course catalogue and/or course syllabi to the Office of Academic Records for evaluation. Transfer coursework is evaluated for correspondence with Ave Maria University courses and applied towards the student’s program of studies.

“Total accepted transfer hours are shown on the transcript. Neither transfer credit hours nor grades are used in calculating cumulative grade point averages. Transfer students must be in residence for their final year and complete at least 32 credit hours of coursework at Ave Maria University in order to earn a degree from this institution. ” (taken from the Ave Maria University Academic Catalogue, Academic Policies section.)
