Dear [firstname],
As summer approaches, it’s time to start thinking about the practical steps you need to take before starting at Amsterdam University College in September. In this newsletter, you can find the timeline for housing selection and reminders regarding some key steps to take to comlpete your enrolment. We’ll also introduce you to some relevant members of the AUC community who will play a big part in your life on campus.
You should have received information about enrolment from the AUC Admissions Office in a separate email. Please check your spam folders regularly and whitelist emails from @auc.nl, @uva.nl and @vu.nl to make sure you don't miss any vital updates.

All offers made by AUC are conditional until we receive your official final secondary school diploma(s), transcripts and test results/final exam scores (if applicable). Please be sure our Admissions Office receives these by 1 July. If you know that there will be a substantial delay in receiving these documents (i.e. you won't receive them by the end of August), please contact our Admissions Office. The Admissions office is already aware that certain countries, secondary school systems and diploma's that have issue dates which are past the 1 July deadline.

Amsterdam University College is a residential study programme meaning we also offer student resources beyond academic advising. This includes Student Life Officers (SLOs) who strengthen the residential community of the AUC programme and advise AUC on policies and support systems for student well-being. They are supported by Graduate Assistants, Resident Assistants, and the Peer Support team. The current SLO team consists of Aino Kekkonen, Lisa van Berkel and Fili Dianellou.
