AUK Welcomes New Students

A total of 280 students have been admitted for Spring Semester 2007 at the American University of Kuwait. 197 of those students have been admitted into the undergraduate program, the remaining 83 have been admitted into the Intensive English Program at the University.

Each semester, the Student Affairs team along with the University New Student Orientation Leaders welcomes a host of new students to the American University of Kuwait. New AUK family members attend daylong sessions, known as PAR, in preparation for academic life at AUK. The Placement, Advisement, Registration (PAR) program is intended to assess the student's academic skills in English and Math and Arabic, give advice for the initial term of enrollment, and teach the student how to use the self-service tools that they will need throughout their college career. Another important aspect of PAR is new student orientation. Students get the opportunity to meet other new students and are mentored, given tours and acclimated to the programs and services of AUK by continuing students. Our goal is instill success before the students begin classes. PAR brings the University to Life for new students; we are happy to welcome them to the AUK family.
