The AUS registration policy allows students with senior standing the first priority during early registration
period and plans courses to ensure that there are seats available for seniors across the range of general
education program areas. As the University ensures that there are courses across all general education

Undergraduate student eligibility to participate in early registration

● You have no holds applied to prevent you from registering.
To view your holds, go to www.aus.edu, login in to Banner, select Student Services and then click on Student Records.
All students have an Advisor Hold (AV) placed on their registration. The Advisor Hold will be removed after you meet with
your advisor. All other holds can only be cleared by the office that placed the hold on your record.
Placement Tests
Continuing students who plan to take TOEFL, IELTS, or any placement test must sign up for it in the testing center no
later than 24 hours prior to the test date.
Advising
The advising and registration procedures are designed to allow all students sufficient quality time to interact with their
faculty advisor. Your school has assigned you an advisor. If you have not been assigned an advisor, email your school
and ask the head of your department to assign an advisor for you.

Step 1: Before Your Appointment with Your Advisor

● View the course offerings online. Go to www.aus.edu, click on Banner, and choose Spring 2025 in Class Schedule.
● Use the university undergraduate catalog to review the requirements of your program of study and mark the
courses that you have already completed and the courses that you are registered in this semester.
● Prepare a list of the courses you should take to advance in your studies.
● View the course offerings online and note the proper Course Reference Number (CRN) for each of your courses.
This is the five-digit number, and it is required to identify the course and section you are selecting when registering.
Each course, laboratory and recitation section will have a unique five-digit CRN.
● Prepare a list of alternate courses in case your first choice is not available. Make sure you have selected
laboratories that properly match lecture sections.

Note: To register early for a course, you must have passed or be currently registered for the prerequisites of the courses
you want to take. Please review the university regulations regarding minimum passing grades, repeating courses and
the maximum load for students on probation. Once the Fall Semester grades are out, it is your responsibility to
adjust your schedule if the prerequisite requirements are not met.

Step 2: Appointment with Your Advisor

Have a meeting with your advisor. Do not hesitate to discuss with your advisor any questions related to your program of
study. After meeting with your advisor and your course selection is approved, your advisor will send you a signed copy of
your course selection, and the advisor will keep a signed copy to retain in your file. The Advisor will notify the designated
person in your college/school to have your Advising Hold removed. Once the hold is lifted, you may register online on
your assigned day.

department(s) that applied the hold to have it removed. If you are clear to register, click on Add/Drop Classes.

Changes. You will immediately see if you have been successful or be shown any problems with your requests.

your schedule by selecting the appropriate button at the bottom of the page.

General Education Requirement

General education at AUS complements professional programs and the University encourages students to register for
general education courses throughout their degree program as shown in the proposed program of study in the
Undergraduate Catalog.

The AUS registration policy allows students with senior standing the first priority during early registration
period and plans courses to ensure that there are seats available for seniors across the range of general
education program areas. As the University ensures that there are courses across all general education
program areas at the time of early registration, requests for registration in courses on the basis of meeting
graduation requirements cannot be considered.

Seniors, if you are unable to register a General Education Course, notify your Associate Dean within 24 hours of
your early registration time ticket closing.

Registration Integrity

As per Section 2.12.vi of the AUS Student Code of Conduct, “Unauthorized use or manipulation of University IT systems
and/or University processes to alter or hinder university operations for personal, material or monetary gain. This
includes, but is not limited to, reserving seats or buying, selling, trading or taking advantage of reserved seats in courses
during registration”. The University takes these matters seriously and has unfortunately had to suspend students who
have sought to alter or hinder university operations related to registration. Please ensure that your permanent record at
the University is not affected by engaging in activities that violate the AUS Academic Integrity Pledge and the Student
Code of Conduct.
