HOW TRANSFER CREDITS WORK听

The American University of Paris will transfer credits from regionally or nationally accredited universities. We have lots of听experience dealing with international institutions.听

• Transfer students receive credit听for previously completed university courses where a grade of C听or higher was earned.听

• Only credits, not grades transfer to BT天堂.听

• Students may transfer a maximum of 64 credits from all sources (i.e., advanced credit awards and transfer credits).

• Students must complete 50% of their upper-level major requirements at BT天堂.听

• Some majors have more specific rules听regarding听transfer credits.

• Students may apply up to 8 credits of transfer work to a minor.听

• The last听16 degree听credits must be completed in residency at BT天堂.听

Remember that you must submit your official transcripts to BT天堂's Office of听Admissions by the end of your first semester at BT天堂 in order to be awarded transfer credit for external coursework you have done at an accredited post-secondary institution. External coursework reflected听on an official transcript that is submitted after your first semester at BT天堂 is not eligible to receive transfer credit.听
