Hey there, New Eagles!

Get ready to spread those wings because your adventure at American University is just around the corner! The Division of Student Affairs is buzzing with excitement as we gear up to welcome you into our vibrant community this August.

I'm Dr. Dayne Hutchinson, and it’s my honor to serve you as your Assistant Vice President for Student Engagement and Success. It's an absolute pleasure to have the privilege of guiding you on this incredible journey. My mission? To help you thrive personally, foster a community filled with respect and support, and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way outside the classroom.

American University isn't just a school—it's a powerhouse of endless possibilities. And as you step into the shoes of an AU Eagle, you're joining a legacy of thousands who've soared before you. Together, we'll learn, explore, and ignite positive change not just in our backyard, but indeed, across the globe.

So, welcome home, New Eagles! Get ready to embrace every moment, chase those dreams, and let your Eagle pride shine bright.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Dayne Hutchinson, Ph.D.

Planning what to pack? Housing & Residence Life has you covered. We've posted an overview of what to bring, and what not to bring to the halls. We’re already getting lots of questions about sheets! American University mattresses are twin-sized mattresses that measure 80 inches in length. A very limited number of extra-long twins are available for those with demonstrated need. Our twin XL mattresses measure 84 inches long. Consider that you can always fold longer or larger sheets over mattress toppers. Find packing lists, floor plans, furniture measurements, loft options, fridge/microwave rentals, virtual room tours, and more on the Housing & Residence Life website.

You must register for classes to generate a bill, which will be posted to the student’s Eagle Service Account. Once registered, payment for the fall semester is due August 1. In order for families and other sponsors to view or pay the bill, your student must grant you proxy access. You’ll find a simple list of tuition and fees, instructions on how to view an itemized version of the student bill and payment options on the Student Accounts website.
