Selichot is longer than usual and one should plan his morning accordingly. During Selichot, Ashamnu is recited even after daybreak, unless a Chattan is present. After Selichot, Tachnun is not recited for the remainder of the day. An Avel during the week of Shiva can go to Shul for Selichot, and can stay for Shacharit. The Shofar is not sounded.
