As a participating member, AU Online may offer online programs to students who live in all states with the exception of California. At this time, California has elected not to participate in the initiative. AU Online does not accept applications from individuals who reside in California, and current students who move to California during the course of their studies may be unable to complete their programs with AU Online.
