<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AU sign up is changing from this year. In it's infinite wisdom, the AU is making everyone sign up online... For existing students this shouldn't be too difficult - In all honesty it should work fine. Basically you apply online and then print off the confirmation email (not the webpage) and then go and collect your AU card from Fresher's Fair. You can pay online or in person upon collection and you should upload a passport size photo to the website upon application (not essential, but pereferred) AND take a passport photo for your actual card. You are NOT considered an AU member until you have picked up your card.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this is clear to everyone! Any queries I would suggest the AU website, then the AU itself. There is a thread on the message board if anyone has any thoughts! Which also chronicles our discussions with the AU - They seem to ahve thought this one through!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope you've all had a great summer!</FONT></DIV>
