        • During the 2-day CWE session, students and their guests will have campus-wide orientation on day 1 where they will meet other incoming freshmen and discover campus resources to help them succeed at Auburn.  On day 2, students will have attend College of Business Academic Advising.

          • Students and their guests will have time to talk through a class plan for Fall semester, after which students will attend a student-only session with the academic advising team.  Parents will enjoy a reception during that time.   
          • After a short lunch break, students will return to the Business complex to register for their Fall courses at the end of day-2, so please make travel plans accordingly.

        Before Camp War Eagle

        All incoming students are required to complete the ALEKS math placement assessment PRIOR to Camp War Eagle unless you have already been awarded college-level math credit from AP, IB, dual enrollment, or transfer work.  You should complete ALEKS at least two weeks prior to your CWE session. Without a math credit or an ALEKS score, you will not be eligible to register for a math course which could put you behind in your business curriculum.

        Prepare for your College of Business academic advising meeting

        In addition to participating in the university's CWE orientation, all incoming freshmen are required to meet with a Business advisor. Here's what you should know:

        1. Students who completed AP or IB tests should know the minimum test scores required by Auburn to receive college credit.  See AP/IB conversion tables below. 

        2. Students will review Pre-Business course requirements on day 2 of the camp session.  Students and guests are welcome to preview the Pre-Business course requirements requirements prior to Camp War Eagle.   

        3. Using the information provided during the large group Pre-Business course review, students will prepare a preferred list of Fall 2024 courses.  Students and their guests can talk through the student's class plans before the students transition to student-only small groups to have one-on-one conversations with the academic advisors. 

        4. Students who completed dual enrollment or are taking summer transfer coursework must understand how transferred college credits will count toward the Pre-Business requirements.  See the AU Transfer Equivalency table link in the next section.  BRING A COPY OF YOUR TRANSCRIPTS TO CAMP WAR EAGLE TO ENSURE ALL COMPLETED (AND IN-PROGRESS) COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSES ARE CONSIDERED WHEN PLANNING YOUR FALL SCHEDULE.  

        • AP/IB Test Scores - college credit and how it counts toward your Pre-Business requirements

          • ACT (English) with a score of 35-36 will receive 6 hours credit for ENGL1100 & ENGL1120 (English Comp I & II).

          Upon receipt, appropriate course credit will be applied to your Auburn University transcript.  Because Auburn receives a large number of requests for AP/IB credit, there may be some delay in posting credit to your transcript.  Please check your transcript periodically to ensure you have received the proper credits.  Contact the Office of the Registrar at (334) 844-2528 if you have questions about this process.

        • Dual Enrollment Information - how will my transfer courses count?
