Has your student joined a club or organization at AU? The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) is the hub for the student experience at AU, home to Student Government, Student Clubs, Student Media, Fraternity and Sorority Life, and the Graduate Leadership Council. At CSI, we are dedicated to leadership development, organizational advising, and programs that help foster a sense of belonging for the next generation of changemakers.
Students can find opportunities via Engage, the one-stop shop for student involvement. Students sign in using their AU username and password and can find clubs and organizations, discover events happening on campus, and RSVP for events of interest. Great learning occurs outside of the classroom too!

Student Accounts and Billing
|
|
|
The fall semester bill is available for viewing in your student's account. Be sure to review the Parent Access section with your student to discuss being granted Proxy Access (for a parent to view the bill). Please note that housing, dining charges, and financial aid will be added later in the summer. Payment plans are available.
The fall semester payment is due on August 1.
Now is a good time to think about purchasing tuition refund insurance. While not tied directly to the student account, tuition refund insurance acts as an extension of the university's refund policy to cover tuition, housing, and meal plan fees, and other nonrefundable expenses if a student withdraws for a covered reason at any time during the semester.

Save the date for Family Weekend 2025, October 3 to October 5, the annual celebration of all things AU! Families are invited to return to campus to experience performances, talks, tours, food, interactive sessions, events, and loads of fun. Some of this year's highlights include campus tours, AU Museum exhibit tours, sustainability & arboretum tours and other exciting events. Attend and explore more of AU!
Registration will open later this month and the Family Weekend webpage will be updated with details when registration goes live. AU families, alumni, students, faculty and staff will all be in attendance and we hope to see you in October!
