In order to qualify as an AUP summer student, visitors must enroll in at least 3 credits in the Summer Term or in an Immersion Session or the Fast Track course.  The Summer Term at AUP offers students maximum choice and flexibility:

• Students can take up to three courses. Exceptionally students may take a fourth course as long as it only carries one credit. A maximum of 12 credits can be earned during summer.

• To ensure that a student will be enrolled in a course of his/her choice, s/he must list alternates in case the first choices are not available.

French Immersion is a separate full-time program. It must be taken in its entirety and may not be combined with any other credit-bearing course.

• A Fast Track Course cannot be taken concurrently because the workload is too involved. However, it is possible for a student to enroll in a Fast Track and a one-credit course as long as this does not present a time conflict.

Summer Term courses meet as follows:

- Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday sessions for two-hour periods.

- Tuesday and Friday sessions for three-hour periods.

- Period B3 courses have one Saturday class that meets on June 7th.

Please note that several courses have course-specific meeting times (French conversation, Science, MA 130, etc.).

Please see each course description for exact times.

Schedules for French Immersion and Fast Track course are found in those sections.

French Language Placement

All students who register for a French language or literature course, including French Immersion, will be required to take the French language placement test, administered on the second day of Orientation of each summer session. The results will determine the individual’s appropriate level, and may place a student in a course bearing more credit hours (4 instead of 3). Students should be aware that they would automatically be responsible for the increased price of tuition.
