Admission of transfer students is
competitive and based on academic merit.
Students who have taken previous
university-level academic work, can enter
AUP during any semester, any year, but you must complete at
least 45 credits at AUP in order to receive a degree.
Our Registrar looks carefully at any university-level
courses you have taken at other schools. We may be able to give
you transfer credit for some of those courses—that is, to allow
those courses to substitute for classes you would otherwise need
to take here at AUP. After
evaluating your previous work, AUP will grant transfer credit as
appropriate.
Up to
75 credits may be accepted for transfer
toward a BA or BS degree, and may satisfy various AUP general
education, elective, or major requirements. Students will,
nonetheless, be required to complete all University general
distribution and major requirements, if equivalents are not
accepted in transfer. One half of the required upper-level
courses must be completed at The American University of Paris.
A maximum of 66 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:
Students may apply credits earned outside the university
toward a BA or BS degree under the following conditions:
1. New transfer students may apply a maximum of 75
credits from all sources; a maximum of 66
credits will be accepted from a junior or
community college;
2.
Students participating in a recognized AUP study-abroad
program may transfer from all sources up to 36
credits;
3. All
other students may transfer from all sources up to 18
credits;
4.
Students admitted with 18 or more credits in
advanced standing may transfer a maximum of 18 additional credits from all sources.
At least 45 credits must be earned in
residence, including the last 15. Credits will be accepted
from:
|
Regionally accredited American
colleges or universities, provided the courses are similar to
those offered by The American University of Paris and in which a
grade of at least “C” was earned. Credit is not granted for EFL
or ESL courses. |
|

|
|
|
Non-American nationally recognized
