Auburn University and the Camp War Eagle staff are evaluating options for 2021 sessions. As decisions about CWE are finalized, that information will be made available on our website and via email to incoming freshmen who have paid the enrollment deposit. We appreciate your patience with us as we evaluate these options.
The questions below include scenarios for both in-person and virtual sessions.
Questions for Students
By participating in CWE, you will register for your fall semester classes as part of your session. Students who do not participate in CWE will register for classes at a one-day orientation session in August. Camp War Eagle is highly advantageous for incoming freshmen.
Orientation is where you will learn about Auburn, ask questions, meet with an academic advisor, register for classes, and meet other people from the incoming freshman class. Participation in all Camp War Eagle events during your session is required.

The Camp War Eagle fee is $150 per student and $75 per family member. Camp War Eagle fees are applied to your account and will appear on the first eBill you receive for fall semester in mid-July. No payment is required at the time you sign up for CWE.
Please note that all Camp War Eagle fees are assessed at the time of program registration and are NOT refundable.
Once you register for CWE, it is preferred that you remain in that session. However, if a session change is necessary, please email our office at fyedesk@auburn.edu with all of your available options and we will assist you in finding another available session. Please email from your Auburn account.
If you want to change your major, send the request to webadms@auburn.edu from your Auburn email account. Please make your request as soon as possible.

Students should contact Auburn University’s Office of Accessibility at (334) 844-2096. They will determine what accommodations would be appropriate for a productive and enjoyable CWE experience, and share any necessary information with our office. More information can be found on the Office of Accessibility website.
You will be assigned an orientation leader – we call them Camp War Eagle Counselors. You will meet with a Camp War Eagle Counselor and a small group of incoming freshmen during your CWE session.
Questions about Academics
Students who want to enroll at Auburn in summer 2021 should email their academic advisor. A listing of each school or college's advising office can be found here. If you are enrolling in one of Auburn’s two summer mini-semesters, make plans to select a Camp War Eagle session that falls outside of the mini-semester in which you are taking classes.
If you are attending the full summer semester or both mini-terms, please note that when registering for CWE. Before your CWE session, a CWE staff member will contact you through your Auburn email to discuss your summer class schedule and the CWE schedule.
A key part of Camp War Eagle will be academic advising. In this meeting, you will learn more about your curriculum and the classes you should enroll in for the fall semester. More information will be posted on our website once decisions about CWE are finalized.
No. Participating in an earlier session of Camp War Eagle WILL NOT give a student an advantage in registering for classes. There are a select number of core classes withheld for each session of Camp War Eagle so all students have an equal chance of selecting necessary and desired courses.
Whether you choose the first or last session, you will have the same opportunity for classes.
