The official terms of entry shall be summer, fall, and spring. Certain programs may further limit terms of entry. A degree-seeking undergraduate student whose first enrollment at Aurora University is in summer is governed by the academic catalog and regulations in effect for the fall term immediately following the Summer Session in which the student was first enrolled.

Students-at-large are not considered matriculated until the first term in which they are enrolled as a fully or conditionally accepted student. Provisionally or conditionally accepted students are considered to have entered in the first term of enrollment, regardless of provisional or conditional status.
