Academic Support

Student Success and Support

In college, there are many things to consider, and each student has unique strengths and challenges. Through a variety of services, we can meet your specific needs and make it simpler for you to manage your classes, make plans for the future, maintain good mental and physical health, and accomplish your academic and personal objectives.

AIC Plan for Excellence (APEX)

Whether you are a first-year or a transfer student, we know that transitions can be challenging. Most colleges have a first year experience course, but at American International College we believe college is a transformative experience and it is critical to support you as a student for all four years. AIC Plan for Excellence (APEX) is designed to help you make the most of your educational journey; develop relationships with faculty and staff, explore and discuss critical topics, and become connected to American International College. Our faculty are passionate about student growth and building community through their classrooms.
