Auburn University at Montgomery

What is the accreditation of Auburn University at Montgomery?

AUM is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award degrees. This accreditation applies to the university as an institution; it is distinct from any specialized accreditation held by an individual academic program.

Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid and can matter when students seek admission to another institution. It does not guarantee that another college will accept a particular course in transfer. Students entering a field that requires licensure should also check the current accreditation and approval status of their specific program, as well as the rules of the state where they intend to practice.

What are the admission requirements at Auburn University at Montgomery?

First-year applicants generally apply to AUM and submit a high school transcript or an accepted high-school-equivalency credential. The university considers the secondary-school academic record and GPA. Admission is not open enrollment: applicants must meet the requirements applicable to their category and intended program.

In the reported first-year admissions cycle, AUM admitted 2,467 of 2,694 applicants, an acceptance rate of about 92%. That figure describes a past applicant group, not an assurance of admission. SAT and ACT scores were considered but not required in the institutional admissions data; applicants should check the policy for their entry term because scores may still affect placement or scholarship consideration.

English-proficiency documentation may be required for applicants whose educational background calls for it. Some majors have additional admission stages beyond entry to the university. AUM's current admissions instructions are the appropriate place to confirm transcript formats, any test-score use, term deadlines and category-specific requirements before submitting an application.

What are the application fees and waivers at Auburn University at Montgomery?

Applicants should distinguish AUM's application charge, if one applies to their applicant category, from later costs such as orientation, housing or tuition charges. The amount payable is the one shown in the current application instructions or checkout screen, which should be checked before submission.

Anyone seeking a fee waiver should ask admissions about eligibility and the required request process before paying. Waiver rules can differ for first-year, transfer, graduate and international applicants; paying an application charge does not itself establish eligibility for a refund.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Auburn University at Montgomery?

Army ROTC is listed as an on-campus option at AUM. Air Force and Navy ROTC have been listed as options through cooperating host institutions rather than as units operated on the Montgomery campus.

That distinction matters for scheduling: cross-enrollment may require travel, registration at another institution and approval from the host unit. Students interested in any branch should confirm that the arrangement is active for their intended term, how coursework fits their degree plan, and the branch's eligibility standards. ROTC scholarships and commissioning involve separate applications and, when applicable, military service obligations; joining a class should not be assumed to confer a scholarship.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Auburn University at Montgomery?

AUM generally considers college coursework from other accredited institutions for transfer and admits transfer students for fall, spring and summer entry. Applicants should submit the application and official transcripts from their previous colleges so AUM can determine both admission eligibility and how their courses apply toward a degree.

Being admitted and receiving usable degree credit are different decisions. A course may transfer as credit without meeting a specific major requirement, and professional programs may impose their own prerequisites or grade standards. AUM also lists possible credit through examinations or recognized credit recommendations, including CLEP, DSST and ACE, subject to its applicable rules.

Before committing to a transfer plan, students should request an official evaluation and compare the remaining general-education, major and AUM-residency requirements with the credits they expect to bring. Students transferring within Alabama can also examine applicable statewide transfer pathways, while confirming how the selected AUM major uses those courses.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Auburn University at Montgomery?

AUM students interested in studying abroad should plan the academic and financial details before selecting a program. International opportunities may take different forms, including short-term faculty-led study or programs arranged through an approved partner, and availability can change from year to year.

The essential question is how a particular experience fits the student's degree. Before paying a program deposit, students should obtain approval for the proposed courses, ask how credits and grades will appear on the AUM record, and check passport, travel, insurance and eligibility requirements. Financial-aid treatment depends on the program and the student's aid package; ordinary eligibility for aid does not mean every study-abroad expense will be covered.
