FAQs

What credentials do I use to login?
You will need to use your AUS username and password, the same credentials you use to access your Banner Self-Service, email and Blackboard.

I know I am using the right username and password.  Why do I get the message “Sign in Failed.”?
Many mobile devices have predictive keyboard options.  The keyboard may input a space after your username.  -Be sure no extra characters are being added to the Username entry.
