External Course Pre-approval

External Course Pre-Approval Form

This form is required of undergraduate students intending to take courses outside of AUP; it determines the equivalencies they will received when transferred back to AUP.
It is recommended that students have twice as many courses pre-approved than needed in order to give the student flexibility once on-site at the external institution.
No more than 64 transfer credits can be used towards a degree. 50% of all upper-level coursework (3000 and 4000 level courses) in the major must be completed at AUP, and no more than 8 transfer credits can be used to complete a minor.
No more than 18 transfer credits are allowed post-matriculation unless completed in an AUP approved exchange program, and the final 16 credits prior to graduation must be completed at AUP.
Only students with a GPA of 2.5 or greater may take external courses for transfer.
Official, final transcripts from the external institution must be received by AUP's Registrar Office within one semester after course completion to finalize the transfer of credits.
Grade C is the minimum passing grade for transfer courses.
3-credit EN course taken online should not be counted as a replacement for one of our 4-credit ones

Area of Credit Application

***Please note that for each of the options below, different approvals are required. If you are requesting multiple courses that require different approvals, please submit separate requests.***

Major Requirements, Minor Requirements, CCD¹ and CCR requests must be approved by the relevant Department Chair.
(e.g. if the request is a course required for the History major or minor, or is a CCD, or CCR type in that major or minor, the Dept. Chair of the History and Politics Dept. will approve)
CCD² and CCI requests must be approved by the GLACC Committee.
CCE requests must be approved by the Comparative Literature and English Department Chair.
CCM and CCS requests must be approved by the Computer Science, Mathematics and Environmental Science Department Chair.

¹ If your program of study has a CCD course option, the review will be conducted by the relevant Department Chair.
² If your program of study does not have a CCD course option, the review will be conducted by the GLACC Committee.
(e.g. a Journalism major requires CM1500CCD, so approval for an external course seeking this equivalency will be conducted by the Communication, Media and Culture Department Chair. An Art History major does not currently have a CCD course in its program, so approval for an external course seeking this equivalency will be conducted by the GLACC Committee.)

All requests go through the following approvals:
