AICU programs are self-paced, and therefore all students set their own schedule and study at their convenience.  Students are free to complete their program at any time within the time limit.   In some cases, based on the advanced standing of a student through transferred credits accepted and/or life learning/ministry portfolio evaluation (LLMPE) credits granted, he/she is given a specially customized program.  An advanced standing student may even complete a program within a shorter time frame.    Some students go through the program at a very fast pace, some not so fast and not so slow, and yet there are some who take the slow pace.  The following is a list of each program time limit:
 

 
After the time limit is expired and the student’s program is not completed, he/she will be charged a monthly extension fee of $65.00 for degree programs each month until the program is completed.  This applies to all students, except in the case of illness or a serious financial hardship.  In which event a formal letter must be sent to AICU informing the school of the situation at hand and making a request to be excused and granted an extension without charge.
