Kufah Institute — AIS Enrollment

Enrollment Options

Join as a Full-Time student taking both tracks to complete AIS Year 1 in one year
Enroll in a Half-Time track: Track A (weekday daytime) or Track B (evenings and Saturday) to complete AIS Year 1 over two years
Select individual courses from either or both tracks (maximum of 2). If you would like to sign up for more than 2 standalone classes and not enroll in a specific track, please email support@kufah.org to schedule an academic advising appointment

Attendance Requirements

To earn credit, all AIS students must meet a minimum 70% attendance requirement through one of two pathways
Onsite (highly preferred): minimum 70% in-person attendance
Hybrid: minimum 40% in-person and 30% live online attendance
Live online attendance is not available for AIS students, as the program depends on close reading of texts, relationship-building, and spiritual development that require a cohort studying together in person
Auditors (noncredit) are not held to attendance requirements or graded assessments, but do not receive credit, LMS access, or financial aid
