Our mission is to ensure that all enrollment and retention processes comply with AU’s academic policies as well as with institutional norms established by state and federal regulations. We also safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of all academic records.

We provide students with a variety of services during their studies. These include maintaining academic records, issuing official academic transcripts, verifying grade reports, and graduation eligibility and coordinating class registration.

The following steps must be completed before a degree is conferred:

The fee is nonrefundable and is required to process the application. This fee is also mandatory regardless of the candidate’s attendance to the commencement ceremony.
  2. The Registrar’s Office reviews the student’s record to ensure that it is complete.
  3. Upon recommendation of the faculty and the chancellor, the Office of the President reviews the student’s record and requests approval for degree conferment from the Board of Trustees. The conferment of academic degrees is the sole province of the Board of Trustees.
  4. The Office of the President forwards a copy of the final approval to the Registrar’s Office.
