Transfer Credit: Courses Completed at University Level
Applicants who are transferring from accredited post-secondary institutions and have taken courses at the university level. The university awards transfer credit to students who complete coursework in fields of study that are comparable to those offered by AUC, with a minimum grade of "C" from institutions operating in the USA, a minimum grade of "Good" from the National Universities of Egypt, and equivalent grade to a "C" (at AUC) from other institutions. The determination of transfer credit award occurs following the submission of an official academic transcript, the university catalog, as well as required course-related materials. Internships, Occupational, vocational, remedial coursework, and studies classified as less than first-year (Freshman) level by the sending institution or AUC are not transferable.
Studies completed more than five years prior to matriculation into the university are not transferable. Credits earned to satisfy the requirements of a previous degree are not considered for transfer credit.
The transferable coursework must have been completed in an accredited post-secondary institution.
Transfer Credit: Courses Completed at Secondary School Level
Applicants who have completed Collegiate-Level studies with a grade equivalent to at least a “B” at AUC. Transfer credit or course exemption may be granted to students presenting additional advanced-level subjects, such as College Board Advanced Placement subjects in the American system, GCE A-levels in the British system, the Canadian CEGEP/OSSD, French Baccalaureat, Zeugnis der Allgemeinen Hochschulreife and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
