Reminders - June 17, 2024 Newsletter

June 17, 2024

This is a reminder to keep an eye on your AU inbox to be up-to-date on information coming in from the university. Next week on June 25 we'll have our first New Eagle Essential webinar, so remember to sign up for one of the sessions to learn more about the programs and support offered to Eagles.

If you have completed the New Eagle Essentials Questionnaire, you should have received your recommended courses letter from your first-year advisor. Class registrations for new students begins June 20!

Next week our Orientation Chairs will begin hosting drop-in sessions for incoming students. If you'd like to meet our orientation student team and learn more about AU from your fellow Eagles, you're invited to join one of our sessions!

We also have our Flight Ready! pre-orientation course now available for students. If you haven't had a chance to login yet, you can check your AU email to find the invitation. This is a self-paced course you can take over the course of the summer leading up to orientation. Your families will also have their own pre-orientation course called Soar & Support, which they have been invited to through their emails.

We know this is graduation season, so congratulations on closing the chapter on high school and we cannot wait to have you join us in the fall!
