Undergraduate Studies
You can become an AU undergraduate student at any time — admission, program enrolment and course registration for undergraduate studies are open year-round. To apply, simply complete the Undergraduate Application, and pay the one-time application fee. You can either take courses as an unclassified student or enrol in a program.
Make note of your AU student ID number, which you’ll receive at the end of the application process.
Graduate Studies
For graduate studies, application procedures and schedules differ from program to program. Review the procedures specific to the program you wish to apply for before beginning an application.
Some graduate areas allow students to take courses as non-program students. To do so, complete the Graduate Application form and select one of the non-program options.
