How to prepare for course registration

  • Carefully read the document “Course Registration guidelines” and review the AUC Portal User Guide.   
    • You must submit 4+1 AUC courses of preference, unless you are studying abroad or if you need less than 4+1 courses to fulfill your graduation requirements in this semester. In these cases, AUC Portal will ask you to enter the reason for not submitting the full course load.
    • If you intend to do a Community Project or Internship (CP/I), you should select this as a course in AUC Portal. Please note, you will still need to apply according to the CP/I guidelines and you will not be formally registered unless your application has been approved. If your application falls through after course registration closes, you may register for an alternative Spring 2024 course during the Add/Drop period or by contacting the Registrar.
    • If you intend to take an off-campus course, you should register for alternative AUC courses in AUC Portal to ensure you have a full course load in case your off-campus course request gets denied. You will also need to apply according to the guidelines for off-campus courses by submitting a request to the Board of Examiners. Please apply at least 6 weeks in advance of the start of the course. Once your off-campus course request has been approved, ensure you promptly drop any additional AUC courses you will not be following during the Add/Drop period or by contacting the Registrar.
    • You must submit your requests in AUC Portal by actively clicking on the “Submit Registration Request” link in the top right corner before 1 December 16.00, in order for your requests to be processed.  
  • Read the Transition Document 2023-2024. This includes an overview of the changes from AUC NEXT, course changes and course cancellations, and the updated degree requirements per major. 
    • A comprehensive overview of all permanent and temporary changes to the Spring 2024 courses may be found in the Spring 2024 Changes Overview
  • View the Course overviews for 2023-2024. You can find an initial overview of courses and the fields of study that they relate to in the curriculum 'placemats'. 
  • Plan a meeting with your tutor. If you haven’t already done so, please reach out to your tutor to plan a meeting to discuss your course registration. You can use the updated Tutor Meeting Checklist to help guide your conversation and course planning.
