An Accepted Student

Transformation begins with a single step.
First, it begins with knowing that you’re ready for your life to unfold in compelling and exciting ways. By applying — and being accepted — to Aurora University, you have intentionally set into motion the transformative power of learning.

Here are a few things for you to know about us:

Our Students
Like you, our students are motivated knowledge seekers who want to apply what they are learning to real life. Between our two campuses in Aurora, Illinois, and on the shores of Geneva Lake in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, we have more than 4,000 students.

Our Faculty
With a 15:1 student-faculty ratio, you’ll develop lasting relationships with your professors — mentors who are expert teachers and award-winning scholars. You’ll learn from dedicated, accessible faculty members who put teaching first — experts who are compassionate, supportive people committed to your success.

Our Facilities
With a number of renovation projects recently completed, underway or planned, AU follows a master plan designed to meet current and future needs. All of our residence halls, for example, have been remodeled. Another example: our 68,000-square-foot Institute for Collaboration, completed in 2006, is a magnificent facility that includes the beautiful Crimi Auditorium, academic classrooms and classrooms for our partnership with the West Aurora School District.

Our Results
Within six months of graduation, 82 percent of our graduates are employed full time and 15 percent are pursuing graduate studies. Beyond preparing you for your career — or to further your studies at the graduate or professional level — your AU education will assist you in creating a meaningful life aimed at enriching the world. 

Next Steps
Now that you’ve been accepted to Aurora University, it’s time to:

  • Visit campus: If you haven’t done so already, it’s never too late to schedule a visit
  • Sign up for orientation: After you are admitted, AU4U is a great way to learn all about AU.
  • Reserve your room: In order to secure on-campus housing, you must complete a housing contract and make a housing deposit.
  • Plan your finances: The Office of Admission and Financial Aid will help you navigate the financial aid process. Be sure to complete the FAFSA.
  • Attend Welcome Week: Our fun-filled Welcome Week, held before the start of fall classes, will help you make new friends and get acquainted with the university.

Questions
If you have questions or concerns, we’re just a phone call or e-mail away. Please contact the Office of Admission at 800-742-5281 or admission@aurora.edu. We’ll do all we can to assist you — or put you in touch with someone who can help.
