The Office of Student Services is made up of Academic Advisors who offer centralized academic advising for all majors within the college. The office’s goal is to provide consistent and current information regarding progression through the curriculum from freshmen or transfer orientation through to graduation.
The CADC Recruitment Office would love to talk with you about our programs! You can schedule a visit to our facilities below and check out our Prospective Students page to get to know us a little better!
The CADC awards college wide and major specific departmental scholarships based on a student’s AUSOM application. Criteria for scholarships vary and include, but may not be limited to, academic major, geographic location, academic achievement, and financial need.
Study abroad programs grant students the opportunity to gain a new perspective on life. The CADC offers unique study abroad experiences specific to each of the majors in the college.
Career Services
The mission of CADC Career Services is to facilitate meaningful industry engagement opportunities and career development services that lead to internship and full-time positions.
The CADC charges a professional fee to partially defray the difference between state funding and tuition, and the actual costs of our professional programs. Within each program, a professional fee charge of $2,160 is tied to enrollment in specific trigger courses. During semesters when students are enrolled in these classes they will be charged the professional fee.
Through the professional fees, the CADC continues to provide our students with rigorous and relevant academic experiences, which contribute to our programs being recognized as among the best in the nation.
A student may add a course online until the first day of class. After that, the student has to get school approval. A student may drop a course online through the 15th class day (fifth class day for summer semester) without a penalty. After the 15th class day, a student has until mid-semester to drop receiving a grade of W. Courses cannot be dropped after mid-semester without approval from the Associate Dean. Documentation must be provided.
For more information about add or drop dates view the University Academic Calendar here.
Students who desire to change their major to another major within CADC must have the GPA to do so and meet other admission criteria by program. Students should speak with an advisor for information on credits that may transfer to the other major.
Students requesting to change their major to one in another school or college should come to Student Services, pick up their academic records, and transport them to the new school or college advising office. It is important to note that any new curricula that students want to change to may have a different minimum GPA requirement and/or other admission requirements
Students who wish to declare a minor within the CADC should fill out the Minor Declaration Form.
Students within a given semester who achieve a 3.75 GPA while enrolled for at least 12 or more credit hours are placed on the CADC Dean’s List. Classes graded S-U or SA, SN, U will be counted in the 12 hours only if the course is required in the student’s curriculum. The Dean’s List honor also is noted in the student’s permanent record.
Students are obligated to complete the degree requirements as outlined in the curriculum model in effect when they entered Auburn. Students who change their major are put into the curriculum model that was in effect when the change of major was made. Changes in a curriculum model during a student’s matriculation can be required if the changes do not affect that portion of the model that had been completed at the time of the change. Refer to the AU Bulletin for the full policy. To earn a degree, a student must successfully complete the subjects in his/her particular curriculum model and have an overall GPA of 2.0 on all course work (this includes all attempts) taken at Auburn.
The 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, is a federal law (20 U.S.C. 1232g) that protects the privacy of a student’s educational record. FERPA applies to all educational institutions receiving funds from the United States Department of Education, from kindergarten through university level.
Being in compliance with FERPA means that a student’s academic records cannot be released to anyone except the student.
Students with a minimum overall grade average of 3.4 will graduate Cum Laude; a 3.6 will graduate Magna Cum Laude; and a 3.8 will graduate Summa Cum Laude. The distinction of high academic achievement is placed on the student’s diploma and on his/her permanent record. The average is calculated only on Auburn University courses. A total of at least ninety graded hours of course work in residence is required. Students cannot use the Grade Adjustment Policy to graduate with honors.
Seniors should meet with their advisor for a credit check and to apply for graduation one to two semesters before the anticipated graduation term. During the term of graduation, students will register for a non-credit course, UNIV-4AA0-AR1, which will generate the graduation list.
Students are cleared for graduation by a dual process involving both the Registrar and CADC Office of Student Services. The Registrar verifies total credit and satisfaction of the freshman English requirement. Student Services verifies that the curriculum model and minimum GPA requirements have been met. Students should come to Student Services to begin the credit check procedure at the time they achieve senior standing.
A minimum of 25 percent of the total semester hours required for the bachelor’s degree must be earned in residence at Auburn University. As a general rule, these hours must be taken in the final year and in the school/college curriculum of graduation. Each college/school may allow a break in senior residency. Graduating seniors must pay a graduation fee to the University Bursar at the beginning of the semester of graduation. Students who owe any university fees are denied graduation until all debts are settled.
Students who do not wish to attend graduation should make arrangements to graduate in absentia with either the Registrar’s Office or contact the CADC Office of Student Services.
Any student enrolled in the CADC who terminates enrollment after being placed on academic suspension or academic probation, or who resigns from school without school approval and intends to re-enter the school must, in addition to complying with other University readmission requirements, consult with Student Services for readmission procedures.
A Hold on the record will mean the student will not be able to add or drop a class, receive a transcript, get student housing or receive Financial Aid.
Here are some offices who may place a Hold and why:
CADC Advisors
If the advisor needs to see the student. Some schools place a Hold on all students prior to registration, and lift the Hold only after the student meets with an advisor. CADC advisors do not routinely place Holds.
Office of Student Financial Services
If a student has an unpaid bill.
AU Medical Clinic
If the student has an unpaid balance, discrepancies with their insurance, or fails to return a completed health form to the Auburn Medical Clinic.
Office of Admissions and Records
Students returning to school from suspension
Students must meet with an advisor to know which credits from another institution have been applied to an Auburn degree. Admissions determine which courses are needed for admission to Auburn University, but the advisor decides how those credits will apply toward degree requirements.
As a transient student, the student must get a transient form from Student Services. The student should have the form completed by an advisor who must approve courses for transfer credit. Students should note that they cannot be enrolled in two institutions concurrently.
The Transfer Course Equivalency Table can show you what credit will transfer to Auburn from your current institution and what it will transfer as. View the table here.
