AUC is a private, independent, not-for-profit institution. Enrollment is not limited to residents of Haiti, but a distinction is made in tuition and admission fees on the basis of whether or not the applicant received and successfully completed formal secondary-level schooling in Haiti. Students are admitted to the University when they have completed the application procedures and fulfilled all admission requirements. The completed application form, the required non-refundable application fee, and all supporting information and documentation should be submitted to the Les Cayes offices.
