<p>Actually, that’s not quite right. You are not an official student for the first (Fall) semester. Your official start date at AU is Spring 07. However, if you wish, you can participate in AU’s Washington Mentorship Program in the Fall of 06. You live at the Tenley campus and can take some special classes whose 15 credits may be transfered into AU. Any scholarships you receive (merit or need based) can not be applied to this. You pay full price. You don’t have to participate in this program to be eligiblle to start in the Spring. You can take classes at a jr. college (think cheaper) and have these transfered to AU (but check with them first), you can work all Fall, or even sleep all Fall.</p>
