Registration Instructions
To Register for CWE:
- Log in to AU Access with your username and password.
- Navigate to the First Year Experience card. If you do not see it on your home screen, click the View All Cards link. Then search for First Year Experience. You can click the ribbon in the upper right of the card to save this card to your home screen.
- Click the Camp War Eagle Registration link.
- Complete all the fields.
- Check your Auburn email account for a confirmation email.
If you have technical difficulties obtaining or using your password, please email the Information Technology Service Desk at itservicedesk@auburn.edu and include your phone number. If you cannot find your username and need a duplicate copy of your acceptance letter, email Enrollment Operations at webadms@auburn.edu or email your Admissions Advisor.
CWE registration opens on March 30. Your specific registration access group will be posted on the CWE registration page in AU Access by Wednesday, March 25. Students who have deposited by this date will be assigned to a window which will begin either at 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 pm CDT. Prior to your registration access group opening:
- Verify you have the First Year Experience card in AU Access. You must have submitted your $250 enrollment deposit to register for CWE. Usually within 24 hours of payment, your AU Access adds this card. If you don’t see the First Year Experience card on your AU Access homepage, click View All Cards in the upper right. This will bring up an alphabetical list of all of the cards you have access to. Once you find it, you can bookmark this card to your home screen for easy access later. Make sure you have the First Year Experience card before CWE registration opens. You can pay your enrollment deposit at: auburn.edu/status. Please note the $250 enrollment deposit is different than the $100 housing application fee.
- Review the CWE dates. Not every college advises at every session, so be sure to review your options on the chart below. Instructions for how to register for CWE are on this page in the section above titled Registration Instructions.
- Be prepared with your preferred session dates. Within each access group, available spots in some sessions may fill up in minutes, so be prepared with a first choice and backup options. Please remember that selecting an earlier session of CWE will not give you an advantage in registering for classes. There will be a similar distribution of seats in core classes provided for each session so that all incoming freshman students who participate in CWE have an equal chance of selecting necessary and desired courses.
Additional Information
- Guests are encouraged to attend. As you fill out the registration form, you will be asked for any guest’s name, email address, and if they need any special accommodations. We recommend talking in advance to determine who will attend and having their information ready to go. If you aren’t ready to commit at the time of CWE registration, you can call or email us to add them later. There is a $125 non-refundable fee per guest.
- Book travel wisely. Make sure your CWE session is confirmed before you book hotel or travel arrangements. Your anticipated departure time will be around 4:30 pm CT on the second day of your session after you have registered for your fall class schedule. If you are flying out of Atlanta (ATL) after your session, plan to fly after 9:30 pm ET to allow for travel time to the airport, the time change, and navigating to your gate.
- No payment is needed right now. The CWE fees will be added to one of your first eBills for the fall semester. The CWE student fee is $175 and the CWE guest fee is $125 per guest. Students will be charged for each guest who is registered even if they do not attend the session. If you need to remove a guest from your registration, please contact fyedesk@auburn.edu at least two weeks prior to your CWE session.
