Ahmedabad University
Ahmedabad University is a private, non-profit university dedicated to rigorous academic pursuit through interdisciplinary learning with a focus on building enquiry as a value. Established in 2009.
We provide a liberal education, preparing students to reflect deeply and creatively across fields to become independent thinkers and compassionate leaders.
This unique learning process is mediated by projects, fieldwork and a belief that a strong theoretical grounding leads to a robust practice.
As a research university, we are building an environment where students and professors explore by reflecting, challenging views and assumptions of each other through data and rigorous discussions, and collaborating to develop insights.

Explanation of Course Codes
The system of university course codes uses a combination of three letters and three digits for each course. Letters indicate the course area and the digits indicate the level of the course and the serial number of the course in that area.
For example, in course code COM101- Effective Reading and Comprehension Skills, COM refers to the Communication area and 101 indicates that it is an undergraduate level course and its serial number is 1. Similarly, the course with the course code CSC101 is a Computer Science course at the undergraduate level with serial number 1. The course numbering system is further explained below.
Undergraduate Courses: 100-400 level courses 100—199 Entry level courses 200—299 Intermediate level courses 300—399 Advanced level courses with prerequisites 400—499 Specialisation, advanced or dissertation courses
Graduate Courses: 500-800 level courses 500—599 Entry level Master’s courses 600—699 Specialisation, advanced or dissertation Master’s courses 700—799 Entry level Doctoral courses 800—899 Specialisation, advanced or dissertation Doctoral courses
Seminar Courses: 900-999 level courses
* Entry level and Intermediate level courses may or may not have prerequisites.
University Course Registration
All students must register for courses online using the Ahmedabad University Resource Information System (AURIS) during the course registration period every semester. Credentials to log in to the system are communicated to all students on their University email addresses, at the time of admission. The course registration system allows students the flexibility to take courses of their choice across the University. However the final allotment of courses will be done based on the availability of courses, class size limits and fulfilment of prerequisites. Students can search for courses of their choice and choose the available time slots from the system. To maintain full time student status at the University, students need to register for at least 12 credits. The upper limit of number of courses may vary from programme to programme based on the curriculum structure.
The course registration process consists of four phases: Expression of Interest, Pre-Registration, Final Registration and Add/Drop Period.
Expression of Interest (EOI)
In this first stage of the registration process, students are required to express their desire to opt for courses from among the pool of courses available to them. This is done specifically with three objectives: one, to let students know the courses that are likely to be offered during the upcoming semester; two, to ascertain how many students are desirous of various courses, which helps the Programme Offices in planning for courses for the upcoming semester; and three, to give students who participate in the EOI an opportunity to register for those courses ahead of the other students who do not participate in the EOI.
Pre-Registration
Students need to pre-register every semester to indicate their interest in courses of their choice in the following semester. Generally, registration for the Monsoon Semester/Bi-Semester starts in the first week of June and for the Winter Semester starts in the second week of November of each academic year.
Final Registration
Students must pay the fees with all dues before the final registration starts or by the due date mentioned by the University. Courses chosen during the pre-registration phase will be reserved till the fees payment due date. If fees are not paid by the due date, courses will be removed from a student’s selection and the student will need to re-register for the courses. Students who have applied for financial aid will be communicated the financial aid decision separately before the course registration starts. Final registration for the Monsoon Semester/Bi-Semester starts in the last week of June, for the Winter Semester it starts in the first week of December, and for the Summer Term it starts in the last week of March of each academic year. Add/Drop Period
Students are encouraged to attend sessions in the courses of their interest during the first week of the semester even if they may not have registered for such a course. During this one week, they can register for such courses of their interest if there are seats. The Add/Drop period also gives flexibility to students to drop a course. Students can drop a course for a period of up to four weeks. Once the period is over students cannot drop any course they have registered for. However if a student wishes to do so due to exceptional circumstances, she may only do so with the approval of the Programme Chair, Associate Dean or Dean of the School to which she belongs. The request may be approved or rejected based on the circumstances and explanation given by the student.
The procedure for course registration is explained below.
1 Students need to log in to www.auris.ahduni.edu.in with credentials given to them. 2 Students must then click on the course registration tab. 3 Course registration will not open unless the student has paid the fees and other dues. In case they have paid the fees and are unable to register, they need to contact their Programme Office. The Programme Office will verify the payment status and facilitate the registration. 4 Students can see the available courses from all Schools. 5 Students can search for any course at any School. Through the course search facility, a student can search for courses by course code, course name, professor name, keywords of the course description, etc. 6 Once the student finds the course of her choice, she can see the details of the course along with available time slots. 7 The student can add a course with a preferred time slot. The system will check the time clash with his/her previously added courses and if no clash is found the course will be added to her course selection panel. The system will also check the maximum and minimum credit range allowed to the student. 8 Students can choose three courses beyond their maximum credit load as preference. 9 Before final confirmation, the student can add/drop any courses to and from her course selection panel. 10 Student can repeat this process any number of times as long as the course registration system remains open. 11 After the course registration system is closed, the last course choice submission will be considered as the final selection of the student and courses will be allotted based on that selection. 12 Add/Drop Period: Each student will be given a choice to add/drop courses during the Add/Drop Period, in case they wish to make any changes in their registration.
* In case of any difficulty during or after the course registration period student can contact their respective Programme Offices.
