From what I can tell, they need to activate their AU email first. Then in late Oct, this batch of kids will get an email to that account (check often!) with a time slot/date. It’s not all super clear to me, but this link helps a lot. https://universityhousing.auburn.edu/apply/new/
We are going to War Eagle Day on Oct 28th. Hoping to get more detailed info there and I’ll be happy to report back. But at this point, it sounds like we wait for a couple weeks for that email to come to the Auburn account.
Thank you for that! I wish we could do WED. D23 wants to visit again (I think she just really wants to move in already) but the next 2 months are CRAZY for us. No way we can fit in a trip to Alabama - especially when we’ve been there already!
We have a dear friend with a kid at Auburn. Will ask him and try to figure it out. It varies by school! My last college kid (sophomore at UGA) got in to Florida early action but we didn’t realize you had to fill out a housing application and pay 25 bucks right after you submitted your application for admission (ie pre Nov 1) to get a good chance at housing at UF. I have learned to ask questions!
I really value the experience of parents who have been through this before sooooo much - IRL and here. Believe me, I’m asking my friends with kids in college so many questions and I will pass it on next year (and still ask stupid questions) when I do it again with D24.

My daughter’s first showed as a status update on her portal, and then an email came shortly after. Did he have all his required documents etc in before the Sept 15 deadline? Maybe have him check his spam and log on to portal if he has one. Good luck!
Housing at Auburn is very confusing and very competitive so I’d make sure your student is staying on top of their email and setting up their AU email(and checking that one too). If you think Application season is stressful as a student/parent, Auburn housing season is much worse. It’s one of the few negatives about Auburn, but it’s important to know what you are getting in to if you commit to a school that doesn’t guarantee dorms.
I’ll check my emails from last year to see how it worked then, but it seems like some of the dates have changed some, so it may not be the exact same.

She did not receive a War Eagle Day invitation. Does anyone have insight in to what the criteria is for that?
