Students who wish to study a language not offered at AUP, or who are prepared for very advanced work, may register at another institution.
 
 
 
Students wishing to pursue languages studies outside AUP for university credit are required to obtain pre-approval prior to enrolling at the other institution. Students may only register to take languages outside AUP when the language or the level in question is not taught at AUP. A minimum 2.8 cumulative grade point average is required.
 
 
 
 
Students are responsible for researching language projects as well as organizing placement exams at the outside institution.
 
Students must present their language project with documentation to the Advising Center for verification of the contact hours of the program in question and for assistance with completion of the necessary paperwork.
 
Outside Language Study requires approval of:
 

 

The Student’s Academic Advisor

 

 

 

The Associate Dean of Academic Affairs

 

 

 

The University Registrar

 

 
 
 
There are two options for outside language study:
 

1

The course is registered as a fifth course on the student’s AUP schedule and included as part of the student’s full-time semester tuition. Grades for these courses are only recorded on the credit/no credit basis.

 

 

2

The course is pre-approved as a sixth course and once the course is complete, the credits are recorded as ‘transfer credits’. Students choosing this option are responsible for all course fees at the other institution.
