The American University of Paris | Registrar

Up to 75 semester-hour credits may be accepted for transfer toward a BA or BS degree, and may satisfy various AUP general education, elective, or major requirements. At least one half of the required upper-level degree requirement courses must be completed at The American University of Paris.

A maximum of 66 semester-hour credits may be accepted from a junior or community college. At least 30 credits, including the last 15, must be earned in residence.

The Registrar reserves the right to accept transfer credit conditionally, pending the completion of a semester at the University with a minimum GPA of "C" (2.00)

Transferring credits

From an accredited American college or university:

Credit is allowed for courses similar to those offered by AUP in which a grade of "C" or better was earned. The Registrar is responsible for evaluating and granting transfer credit. EFL or ESL courses (intensive English) are not granted credit.

From non-American, nationally recognized universities:

Credit may be allowed for courses similar to those offered by AUP in which minimum passing grades were achieved. These students will be given one semester's grace. Thereafter, they will be required to meet AUP's standards for academic performance, and their transfer credit will be included in the credit hours attempted.

From non-accredited or non-recognized colleges or universities:

Credit may be allowed after successful completion (2.00 minimum GPA) of one semester at AUP. However, the student is given tentative class standing and may register accordingly.

Visiting students for one semester or one year will not receive transfer credit, but are granted appropriate class standing.
