Identify whether or not your transfer credits have been officially awarded or are still considered "pending".
 

 

If your transfer credits have not been officially awarded (meaning they are still pending, or in abeyance), you should go to the Registrar's Office to find out the reason for this and then take the necessary steps to ensure that their final processing can be completed prior to pre-registration for the next semester, or at the latest by the end of the first semester of attendance at AUP.

 

 

 

If you are not sure of the status of your credits, you should log on to "Tools" under the course browser on the MyAUP website. You should then see your own record with credits accepted in transfer with a notation of either ‘official’ or ‘pending’ next to the course title.

 

 
 
 
Identify which courses are already coded with major equivalencies or with General Education Classification (C, M, Q), Lab Science, etc.
 
This can be seen under "Tools" (MyAUP website), next to the course title under the "Category" column.
 

 

If the course has a pre-established equivalency, a course number will appear in this column, or if the course is accepted for General Education credit, the courses’ classification (C, M, Q) will be listed.

 

 

 

If a course is listed with an equivalency of an AUP course that satisfies General Education in some way, that course accepted in transfer satisfies that same requirement as its AUP equivalent.

 

 

 

If a science course’s title bears the notation ‘with lab’, this means that the course satisfies our lab science requirement. No notation of lab clearly indicates that the course does not satisfy our requirement (with the exception of IB, AP or French Bac science courses). If your lab has not been noted, you will need to provide proof of your lab to our Registrar’s Office. An (E) notation indicates that the course has been accepted as elective credit only and satisfies neither a General Education nor a specific major requirement.

 

 
 
 
 
 
If you believe a course could satisfy a General Education requirement, you should contact your advisor regarding the steps to follow. There are two possibilities:
 

 

Establishing an equivalency for an AUP course that carries General Education classification. This is done by completing our substitution paperwork that requires the course’s catalog description, your advisor’s signature, the AUP course's Department Chair's signature. Completed paperwork should be submitted to the Advising Center which verifies the completeness of the paperwork and transmits the request to the Associate Dean of Academic Administration.

 

 

 

Some courses that are not direct equivalents but could still be suitable for General Education equivalence. Students who would like courses considered for this should submit full course syllabi can be submitted for our General Education to review. These can be submitted directly to the Advising Center which will take care of all communication between students and the Committee.

 

 
 
 
If you believe a course could satisfy a major/minor requirement, you should contact your advisor to identify the courses in question and the appropriateness of your request:
 
Establishing an equivalency for an AUP course that satisfies major/minor credit is done by completing our substitution paperwork. This paperwork requires the course's catalog description, your advisor's signature and the signature of the Department Chair for which the course is a requirement. Completed paperwork should be submitted to the Advising Center which will take care of verifying the completeness of the paperwork and transmitting the request to the Associate Dean of Academic Administration for a final approval.
