If you wish to take courses for credit but are not seeking a degree from AUC, or if you wish to study temporarily at AUC but are not affiliated with a study abroad program, you can apply as a non-degree student.

AUC's non-degree program is one of direct enrollment, meaning that students select courses from general undergraduate programs and are not limited to a fixed set of courses. Since AUC is accredited in the U.S. as well as in Egypt, students from U.S. universities are usually able to transfer AUC credits to their home institutions, but they are advised to check in advance.

Upon request, the university may approve a change of status from non-degree to degree student. If a non-degree student should become a degree candidate, the department of major will consider accepting credit for courses taken under non-degree status. All academic regulations applicable to degree students will apply retroactively with such change of status.
