Enrollment Steps - Personal Interest Students
You are a personal interest student if you are enrolling in classes to learn about subjects without pursuing credits or a degree.
We're happy you're here to pursue your interests! When you submit your application be sure to select, "Will not graduate or transfer, but will take classes for personal interest only."
To enroll in classes, please follow the steps below.
Activation instructions will be sent to the email account you used to apply. Visit Account and Password Help if you need more assistance.
This is optional, but it's free to apply. You may qualify for:
Grants and Scholarships (generally, not paid back)
Loans (must be paid back)
Work Study (work part-time to earn money while attending Aims)
It's best to apply at least two months before classes begin. Many students apply as early as January to get help paying for classes that start in August.
