• Camp War Eagle (CWE) is Auburn University’s orientation program for all incoming freshmen.  For 2024, Auburn will host 12 sessions of Camp War Eagle scheduled during the months of May, June, and July.    
• During the 2-day CWE session, students and their guests will have a 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 attend College of Business Academic Advising. 
  • The academic advising meeting will begin with students and their guests participating in a large-group information session that includes a thorough explanation of the Pre-Business course requirements and College of Business expectations. 
  • 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.  

Students who completed AP or IB tests are expected to know their login information for the AP/IB College Board.  Students who completed dual enrollment courses are expected to bring a copy of their unofficial transcript to the academic meeting on day 2 of Camp War Eagle.   

All students bringing in AP, IB, and/or dual enrollment credit will receive academic advisement that takes all incoming credit into consideration.

Prepare for your College of Business academic advising meeting

In addition to participating in the university's CWE orientation on day 1 of camp, all incoming freshmen are required to meet with a Business advisor on day 2. 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 prior to Camp War Eagle.    

3. Using the information provided during the large group Pre-Business course review, students will prepare a list of Fall 2024 course options.  Students and their guests will have time talk through the student's course options before the students attend their 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

  Depending on your AP/IB test score(s), you may be eligible to receive Auburn University course credit that can satisfy requirements in your business curriculum.  Please visit:

  • AP/IB Conversion Tables  to see if your scores merit course credit and,

  • College of Business AP/IB Conversion Table to see how those credits may count towards your Pre-Business curriculum requirements. 

  The scores should be provided from the testing agency or by a home report copy. Note: Auburn University does not accept CLEP credit.

  • ACT (English) score:

    • Score of 30-34 will receive 3 hours credit for ENGL1100 (English Comp I).

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

  • SAT Reading score:

    • Score of 36-37 will receive 3 hours credit for ENGL 1100 (English Comp I).

    • Score of 38- 40 will receive 6 hours credit for ENGL 1100 & ENGL 1120 (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?

  Dual enrollment/Transfer credit
  Incoming freshmen can see how their dual enrollment/transferred course will articulate at Auburn University.  Visit https://auburn.edu/academic/provost/pathways/transfer-students/transfer-credit/ to access the AU Transfer Equivalency Table.

  Students MUST request their official college transcripts be sent directly to Auburn University.  This request must be made to the college through which you completed the dual enrollment coursework, NOT through the high school you attended.
