Freshman
Tradition Freshmen applicants admission decisions will be based on a submitted application, High school GPA and ACT and/or SAT Scores.
Test-optional applicants admission decisions will be based on a submitted application, high school GPA and high school rigor. Each application is given personal consideration. A successful applicant will demonstrate his or her potential for success by their academic record and grades.
Transfer
Transfer applicants must provide official transcripts from each college attended, including any at which the applicant enrolled while in high school. A minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale on all college work attempted and eligibility to re-enter the institution last attended are required to be considered for transfer admission. Transfer applicants who were not eligible for admission to Auburn when they graduated from high school must present a minimum of 24 semester hours of college credit. All transfer students who have attempted 24 semester hours of college work must have earned a cumulative 2.5 GPA in at least 30 quarter hours, or 20 semester hours, of standard academic courses as required in Auburn University’s Core Curriculum, in addition to the overall 2.5 cumulative average.
These 30 quarter hours, or 20 semester hours, must include at least one course in each of the following areas:
- English (college-level composition or literature)
- History
- Mathematics- approved core mathematics for articulation and general studies (or its equivalent from other institutions)
- Natural Science with a laboratory

Admission of transfer students to the University is contingent on availability of space.
International Applications
International students should first send all of their academic credentials to a professional credentials evaluation agency for evaluation. If they appear qualified and show promise of success in their chosen fields of study, they will be asked to make formal application, which must be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of $60. If applicants present satisfactory academic credentials, test results, and evidence that they have sufficient funds to meet their college expenses (there is no financial assistance for undergraduate international students), they will then be sent an acceptance and the form I-20, the authorization for a student visa. International students are required to purchase the university student insurance plan or provide evidence of equivalent coverage. This mandatory health insurance may be purchased upon arrival in the U.S.
Auditor Applications
Auditing of courses is restricted, but when faculty and facilities are available, individuals who do not seek admission for course credit may audit a lecture course or the lecture portion of a course upon approval of the dean and the head of the department. A formal application must be filed. Auditors must register and pay appropriate fees.

An Alabama student is a person who shall be a citizen of the United States, or a resident alien, and who shall have resided and had habitation, home, and permanent abode in the State of Alabama for at least 12 months immediately preceding current registration. In applying this regulation, "applicant" shall mean a person applying for admission to the institution, if applicant is married or 19 years of age, and financially independent. Otherwise, it shall mean parents, parent, or legal guardian of his/her person. If the parents are divorced, the residency of the parent to whom the court has granted custody will determine residency.
Students initially classified as ineligible for resident tuition will retain that classification for tuition purpose until they provide clear and convincing evidence that they have established permanent domicile in Alabama. The burden of proof of change in eligibility rests upon those requesting change. Evidence relevant to an initial determination of eligibility is also relevant to establishing a change in eligibility.
Non-resident students who carry an academic load considered normal (10 or more hours per term) for students at Auburn University will be presumed to be in the State of Alabama primarily for the purpose of gaining an education and, thus, have not demonstrated the intent to establish a true domicile in Alabama. Any change in resident tuition eligibility occurring during an academic term will not become effective until registration for the succeeding term.
A veteran should apply for VA Benefits at Auburn University as soon as s/he is admitted to Auburn University and has a copy of the semester class schedule and degree program outline approved by the Academic Advisor. Report to the University's Office of Veteran Affairs Services with the number four (4) copy of the DD214 and a copy of the advisor's approved (advisor's signature required) semester schedule and degree major outline. Bring these forms to Room 110 Mary Martin Hall for processing.
If you are a dependent son or daughter of a Disabled Veteran you may be eligible for the Dependent's Educational Assistance Program, Chapter 35, for educational and training opportunities to eligible dependents and survivors of certain veterans. To be eligible for this VA Financial Aid Program, a veteran must meet one of the following:
- Veteran who dies of, or is permanently and totally disabled as the result of, a service-connected disability.
- Veteran with a permanent and total service-connected disability who dies from any cause.
- Serviceperson who is missing in action or is captured in the line-of-duty and is currently being held by a hostile force.
- Serviceperson who is currently being forcibly detained or interned in line-of-duty by a foreign government or power.
The State of Alabama has an Alabama G.I. Dependents' Scholarship Program. This program consists of educational benefits for dependent children and/or a spouse of a disabled veteran who meet the State of Alabama criteria for the program.
The disabled veteran must contact his/her Alabama County Veteran's Affairs Official to see if they qualify for the program. For additional information, contact the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs at P.O. Box 1509, Montgomery, AL 36102-1509. Phone: (334) 242-5077.

Housing
After you are accepted to Auburn University, you will receive a formal acceptance letter from Admissions, which includes information needed for the housing application. Students will not receive their timeslot until they have received their acceptance letter. Students applying for housing will receive a timeslot during which they will be able to submit their housing application. University Housing requires a $100 non-refundable housing application fee and a $200 assignment confirmation pre-payment to confirm your space in on-campus housing (this is separate from the $250 enrollment deposit). Complete the online housing application as soon as possible to avoid being placed on standby. Standby means on-campus housing is currently full to capacity. However, as cancellations are submitted and processed, University Housing will pull students off of standby and assign them to an available space in on-campus housing. For more information about the full housing application process, please visit the Housing website.
Auburn University Housing cannot guarantee that you will be able to room with a specific roommate but will do our best to honor requests whenever possible. For the best chance of getting your preferred roommate:
- Make sure you have both requested each other as a roommate and the pair has been confirmed.
Students will receive a timeslot to apply for housing once they have been accepted to the university. Timeslots will be sent to students’ Auburn email account and are randomly assigned to accepted students. Timeslots are generated via a lottery system and randomly assigned after each admissions acceptance round. Your timeslot notification email will include the information about how to log onto your housing student portal to complete your application. A $100 nonrefundable housing application fee will be due in order to submit your housing application. Once complete, students will receive a confirmation email to their Auburn email account.
If you submit your housing application on or before April 19, 2023, and have paid the $250 admissions enrollment deposit (not the $200 housing confirmation pre-payment), you will be able to participate in the room selection process. Students will receive a room selection timeslot based off of their housing application submission date. Students are able to select a bed space for mutually requested roommates during the room selection process. Please note: students that apply for housing after April 19, 2023 will be manually assigned. Available rooms during room selection are available to students on a first-come, first-served basis, and Housing is not able to reserve rooms for students prior to their room selection timeslot.
The assignment confirmation pre-payment fee is a nonrefundable payment to confirm your space on campus once you have selected or been assigned a space. This fee will go back on the student account in July in the form of a pre-payment if the student is enrolled and living in on-campus housing. Students are able to make this payment at the time they select their room but must make the payment on or before May 1, 2022 to avoid being dropped from their housing assignment. Students assigned after May 1 will not be required to make this payment.
Students are able to log in to the housing student portal after selecting or being assigned to a room in order to view their room assignment and roommate information. Suitemate information is not provided.

Accepted students will see new checklist items in the admissions portal. Make sure you submit the enrollment deposit or Intent to Enroll form in your portal. If you receive an error when submitting the enrollment deposit, please make sure you are in the admitted portal (for our families with students currently attending Auburn, this is a new system).
Normally, students are required to submit an enrollment deposit to save their spot in the incoming class. However, we want to make sure your path to Auburn is as affordable as possible. If you indicate that you are attending Auburn, we will be able to waive additional fees – such as your enrollment deposit, on-campus housing application fees, and orientation registration fees.
Whether you’ve decided to attend Auburn or are still deciding, please complete the Intent to Enroll form in your Admitted Portal so that we can continue to best help you. Your admissions advisor will work with you throughout the rest of your enrollment process.

Admission into Auburn University is highly competitive. The number of applicants exceeds our capacity, and many possess impressive academic qualifications. Simply meeting the minimum requirements often does not guarantee admission. At Auburn, our Admissions team thoroughly evaluates your academic achievements, offering personalized consideration to each application.
Receiving a deferral does not signify the end of your application journey. Although we cannot offer admission at this stage, your application remains under consideration. You have the opportunity to enhance your application by submitting an updated high school transcript and/or new test scores for further evaluation. We will conduct a more in-depth review and encourage you to provide additional information, such as mid-term grades or new test scores.
Deferred applicants will receive a final decision in early March. For additional information on the deferral process or FAQ visit aub.ie/nextstepsdeferred.
All deferred students will see Mid-year Transcript and Optional Supporting Statement added to their checklist in their applicant portal. We would like to see your fall senior semester grades.
Yes. Submitting test scores remains optional for applicants who selected the traditional applicant pathway. Official test scores must be submitted directly from the testing agency. Auburn University school codes are:
• ACT 0011
• SAT 1005
Auburn will accept the ACT Supplied Superscore as well as calculate Superscores for both the SAT and individual ACT scores. Only your best testing result will be used to review your application. We will consider your highest section scores across multiple test dates. Your Superscore will be used for admissions and scholarship consideration.
All parts of the admissions application file are taken into consideration during the admissions review. When you apply to Auburn, the Admissions staff carefully reviews your academic achievement, and each application is given personal consideration.
We encourage you to explore other pathways to Auburn. To learn more about these pathways, please complete this form.
