    • AUC Student Association 
    • AUC Admissions 
    • Registrar 

    For housing-related questions, contact DUWO directly.

    You’ll receive the name of your tutor the week before Introduction Week. If you forget your tutor’s name or are unsure of which room you should be in, stop by the reception desk before the session begins.
