  1. Determine if you need to take the ALEKS math placement assessment

Do you need to take ALEKS? It depends! Please click the statement below that best describes you to find our more information.

If you have a qualifying score or expect a qualifying score, NO you are not required to take ALEKS. You will receive more information on math placement at Camp War Eagle. Please click here to review the AP/IB credit tables.

If your dual enrollment math course is equivalent to the required prerequisite (MATH 1130 or MATH 1150 -Pre-Cal Trigonometry) to place into MATH 1610 (Calculus) at Auburn, you do not have to take the ALEKS math placement assessment. However, if you have taken the equivalent to MATH 1000 (College Algebra) or MATH 1120 (Pre-Cal Algebra), it is RECOMMENDED that you take the ALEKS math placement assessment.

  6. Keep in mind, you will have 3 attempts to achieve your goal math score.
  1. Complete the Pre-Advising Form

https://aub.ie/acadhistory24.

All engineering students are required to complete a Pre-Advising Form at least 2 weeks prior to their camp war eagle session. This pre-advising form will notify your advisor of anticipated credit from AP/IB exams as well as dual enrollment. Your academic advisor will use this information to create a preliminary advising plan for your first semester in engineering and review it with you on day 2 of camp.

  1. Submit final transcripts from the institution (not high school) for any dual enrollment credit.

Please be sure to bring a copy of your dual enrollment transcripts with you to camp war eagle.

At the completion of your final term, you must request your transcript be sent to Auburn with all final grades reported. Transcripts should be mailed to:

AU Enrollment Operations
1550 East Glenn Ave, Suite 1210
Auburn, AL 36849

If your institution offers secure electronic transcript delivery through email, the transcript can be sent to webadms@auburn.edu.

  1. Submit updated AP and IB test scores. 

Please be sure to bring a copy of your scores with you to camp war eagle.

AP credit should be sent directly from the College Board website: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/ and select Auburn University as the recipient.

For IB credit, the transcript of results needs to be sent directly from the International Baccalaureate website: https://ibo.org/programmes/diploma-programme/assessment-and-exams/requesting-transcripts/ and select Auburn University as the recipient.

Planning to take summer courses?

Students who are interested in taking courses this summer at other institutions should reach out to our Transfer Specialist, Mrs. Laura Olds at engtran@auburn.edu.

Please note: Students taking math courses this summer will not receive an override at Camp War Eagle to enroll in a math course for fall semester. You will register for your fall math course once Auburn has received your final transcripts. Or, you can take the ALEKS math placement assessment prior to camp to be eligible to register for a math course while at camp.
