Authorization for Release
of Information form
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, also
known as the Buckley Amendment, helps protect the privacy
of student records. The Act applies to all institutions that are
the recipients of federal funding.
FERPA provisions assure that college students have the right
to access their own education records. Provisions also indicate
that students must give written consent in order for anyone
else – including a parent or guardian – to be given access to
their education records. This includes access to reports of
grades as well as conversations with AU personnel about the
student’s academic progress.
To Graduate
You need 124 semester hours
You earn those hours through:
Liberal Arts classes (58 hrs)
Major classes (30-80+ hrs)
Elective classes (to get to 124 hours)
In order to graduate in four years,
students need to average 15 or 16
credit hours per semester.
12-17 hours are considered full
time.

Since all this information can be
overwhelming, understand that we will
be taking it one step at a time. This
morning you have been given a big
picture view. Your faculty advisor will
now be walking you through the step
by step specifics this afternoon.
Some classes will already be pre-
prescribed for you today:
English, Freshman experience,
major pre-requisites…
You might only have one or two liberal
arts classes to sprinkle in. However,
you need to be able to give your
faculty advisor input.
Between now and this afternoon’s
registration time, make notes on
the Liberal Arts Program Requirement
sheet notating the classes that interest
you. In between testing—you can also
read course descriptions of the classes
from the catalog. This will help you
be prepared for scheduling classes.
Discussion time:
Before we go our separate ways, I am
going to give you some time with your
parents to help discuss which classes
you think you would be interested in
considering in the various liberal arts
areas.
Thank you for taking time
out of your schedules to be
a part of this weekend. We
hope you enjoy your time
with us.
We look forward to having
you on campus in the fall.
