"Auxiliary courses" in English
Explanation:
Asker doesn't provide enough context for us to tell whether this is to be translated from French or is an English abbreviation. If it needs translation Alexs' answer is good, if it's an abbreviation this is correct. "Auxiliary courses" are supplemental or secondary courses, extra classes that you can take, like electives.

aux courses
racing or shopping


Explanation:
if it's French, then could be:
1. At the races (horses, most likely)
or
2. "shopping" or "at the shops" or "running errands" or whatever - sounds like the sort of thing teachers like to set as a possible subject for homework, n'est-ce pas?
