Announcements to Students and New Admissions
August 14, 2006
Dear AUB Students, both enrolled and newly-admitted,
AUB fully intends to complete its summer courses and begin the new semester as soon as conditions in Lebanon permit. We know that for some of you there are fears about the situation prevailing in the country. We are confident that there will be a return to normal, but we also recognize that some of you may prefer to register for course work elsewhere during the fall semester. We want you back at AUB as soon as possible, and we have in place policies to accommodate you. These are listed below.
- Study Abroad for Graduating Students
Students expected to graduate in the summer semester 05/06 or in the fall semester 06/07 and who wish to register at other recognized universities can take credit for their courses provided they get prior written approval of the Dean of their faculty. The procedures for this process are available on the web at this link:

- Study Abroad for Continuing Students
Continuing students who wish to study abroad at other recognized universities can take credit for their courses provided they get prior written approval of the Dean of their faculty. The procedures for this process are available on the web at this link:

- Deferred Registration to Admitted Students:
Catalogue item, Page 37: Undergraduate applicants who are offered admission for the fall semester and who do not register for that semester may be eligible for admission to the spring semester of the same academic year, pending availability of places. A petition should be submitted to the Office of Admissions by December 15 of the same year.
Graduate applicants who are offered admission for a semester and who do not register for that semester may be eligible for admission the following semester pending availability of places. A petition should be submitted, one month prior to registration, to the office of admissions for that purpose.
(Refer to AUB Website, Facing the challenge, Emergency FAQ, Students).
Such applicants (Graduate and Undergraduate) who wish to register at other recognized universities prior to joining AUB may request transfer of their credits once registering at AUB. Catalogue item, p. 35: Courses comparable to AUB courses that have been satisfactorily completed at other institutions will be given transfer credit only (not grades) pending review by the relevant departments and faculties at AUB. Credits alone may be transferred; grades are not transferable.
Petitions will be answered within five working days.
