When to apply?

<p>Regarding housing: Your acceptance letter will contain an ID number and a user name. You will need these to enable your AU ACCESS account and pay a confirmation deposit. Once this deposit is received, AU then gives you access to the housing application. If you don’t already know, housing on campus is scarce, and if you want to live on campus, apply as soon as possible. Unlike some universities, freshman are not automatically guaranteed housing. If I remember correctly, you make 3 choices (in order of preference) from each housing area – one from the Village, one from Quad area, and one from the Hill. If I have this totally wrong, someone will chime in and clarify. Good luck to you in your college search!</p>
