Transfer Students have taken credit courses at another recognized post-secondary institution and wish to receive credit for those courses towards their AUIB program.
Transfer students will also apply through the Ministry of Education portal.
Transfer credit assessment is part of the AUIB admission process, therefore be sure to review the AUIB Catalog to determine which courses previously taken may be a match with those at AUIB. Then submit a Transfer Credit Request along with official detailed syllabi for each course. Only those courses required by the AUIB degree and with a grade equivalency of ‘C’ or higher will be eligible up to a maximum of 60 credits.
