Before you can register

1. View Holds - Be sure that all holds have been cleared from your records. Hold information can be found by contacting the Registrar’s Office, the Student Financial Services Office or the Medical Clinic. These are the three most common offices that attach holds to student records. If you are unsure as to the proper office to contact regarding a hold that has been placed on your record, please contact the Registrar's Office.

   1. Go to the AU home page (http://www.auburn.edu).
      
      
   2. Near the top, click “AU Access.”
      
      The “AU Access” page will display.
      
      
      
      
      
   3. On the “AU Access” page, enter your username and password in the appropriate fields, then click “Login Now.”

   5. If you are unsure of your registration time ticket, you can check it by clicking on “Registration Schedule” in the “Registration Information” channel (on the right side of the page).
      
      
      
      Note that the Time Tickets are listed in groups and sub-groups. The first group is the Priority 1 group. Within that group, those students with the most hours will be permitted access to registration first, with those with fewer hours being granted access later.
      
      
      
      Note that these times are just the first time that a member of a particular priority group can access the registration system. Once a time ticket is opened, it remains open until the end of registration (except during the summer Camp War Eagle sessions).

 

Financial Aid

Financial Aid is one of the main branches on the tiger i tree structure.

Currently, you may check the status of your Financial Aid assistance, see if you're eligible, verify awards, e-mail the AU Financial Aid Office, and review general Financial Aid Information from the Student Financial Services website.

 

What exactly are time tickets ?

The following file breaks down time tickets into detail: http://www.auburn.edu/administration/registrar/calendars/fall_reg.pdf. The reason we use time tickets is to avoid overloading the registration system. For example, the student employment information for a given student and his/her academic history share files.  Therefore we stager registration with time tickets so it doesn't crash, which would bring down payroll and financial aid at the same time.

 

What is the "alternate pin"?

If you are required to meet with your advisor before registration, a special "alternate PIN" was put on your record. Once you have met with your advisor, he or she changes your alternate PIN to 111111. That number will let you register.  If it does not, you need to contact your college or department advising office.
