Thinking about setting down and buying your dream house? IAU is proud to have HomeStreet Bank on our side!

Feeling a sense of stability, planting roots and joining a community, personalizing property, and obtaining the pride of ownership are just some of the benefits. The best way to find out if students are financially ready to buy is to speak with a Loan Officer.

IAU has always been interested in the development of the whole student and faculty and attempts to does so by offering free spiritual development workshops & activities throughout the year to allow students and faculty to develop a sense of self and identity and how to connect with others.  Students and staff work together in creating worship services and volunteer programs that help them live out their calling of service while at IAU. The workshops become a place for spiritual renewal and social support and a springboard for getting involved in service activities.

Looking for more affordable transportation? Students can apply for an LA Metro TAP card. Unfortunately, IAU cannot ensure that you will be approved for a reduced fare TAP card. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has its own regulations for approving passengers for reduced fares. Please click the following link for more information:

• College/Vocational TAP Card

We can provide you with additional documentation in the form of a TAP Enrollment Verification and Official Registration Form, but your eligibility for a reduced fare may depend on your course schedule. Please click the following link for more information:

• Reduced Fare TAP Card – Request for Documents

Please note that IAU has no control over Metro’s standards for approving students for a reduced fare TAP card.

If you have any questions, please contact StudentSupport@iau.LA. Thanks!
