Students enrolled at a recognized institution of higher learning may apply for transfer to the
sophomore/first year professional level of any of the faculties if they have completed a class
equivalent to that of the freshman class of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at AUB.
Admission in the above mentioned cases is based on the SAT I scores, and school and university
grades.
Transfer applicants to the junior or senior classes in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, or to the
second or third years within any of the other faculties, need not submit SAT I results. All
transfer applicants should consult the appropriate faculty sections of the catalogue, taking
particular note of the residence requirement and any particular admission requirements of
that faculty. All admitted transfer applicants must submit the most recent transcript of their
grades and must meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement (see pp. 37, 38) before
registration.
All transfer applicants need to submit the syllabi of the courses for which they expect to
receive credit at AUB together with the application form to the Office of Admissions before
April 30. The deadline for receipt of additional/missing syllabi is May 30, after which no
equivalence will be given for courses.
Courses comparable to AUB courses that have been satisfactorily completed at other institutions
are given transfer credits only (not grades) pending review by the relevant departments and
faculties at AUB. Credits alone may be transferred; grades are not transferable.
With approval of the academic departments concerned, freshman credits may be given
for high grades on higher level (HL) examinations of the International Baccalaureate, on
advanced placement (AP) examinations of the College Board, or on advanced level (A-level)
examinations of the General Certificate of Education (GCE).
T he following factors govern students seeking readmission:
� Students in good standing who withdrew voluntarily shall be granted readmission to their
former faculty if the period between the end of the semester or session of withdrawal,
and the beginning of the semester for which readmission is sought, is not more than four
regular semesters. The readmission request (reactivation form), available at the Office
of the Registrar, must be submitted to the same office at least one month prior to the
beginning of the semester or summer session to which readmission is sought. Readmission
is then automatic.
� Students who have left the University for more than two years must submit the readmission
request (reactivation form), available at the Office of the Registrar, to the same office, and
must receive readmission approval from the admissions committee of their faculty/school.
� Students who have left the Faculty of Arts and Sciences while on probation remain on
probation for one semester and are required to take 12 or 13 credits. If students do not
remove probation at the end of that semester, they are dropped from the faculty.
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 academic 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 to the Office of Admissions by July 31 for fall, and
December 15 for spring.
Applicants who have been admitted to the fall semester or to the spring semester in two
different faculties, and who actually register in one of these, must petition the Office of
Admissions by July 31 for fall, and December 15 for spring, if they intend to use their second
admission to register for the following semester. Admission to the second faculty depends on
availability of places
