Letter of Admission
If you are accepted to AUS, you will receive a Letter of Admission. Please read your letter carefully. To complete your admission, please make sure you submit the required items before the indicated deadline. There are a number of very important dates in the letter that you need to note down on your calendar.
Placement Tests
All admitted applicants are required to sit for major placement tests to be able to register for freshman-level courses. The purpose of the tests is to place students in the appropriate level of English, math and physics. Students who don't have TOEFL/IELTS scores may register for math and physics placement tests as required by their intended majors. However, students who don't have TOEFL/IELTS scores are not allowed to register for the English placement test. Click here for more information on our placement tests.
Course Registration
Registration for classes takes place after placement tests are over. Advisors are available to register students and guide them. The complete process will be explained during the academic orientation session. Be sure to attend this session and follow the instructions provided to avoid confusion and frustration. Students who complete their files at the Office of Enrollment Management will receive a registration pass by email to register for classes in their respective college or school. For a general listing of courses and course descriptions, please refer to the Undergraduate Catalog.
Change of Major
Applicants who wish to change their major to a different program, can request a change of major from apply.aus.edu (go to My Account / My Applications / Choose your active application / Click View/ Scroll down to Program Change Request).
