You may get transferable credits for courses taken at another university, only if the courses match AUB requirements in term of contents and grades. You may check the
general guideline and note that any transferable credits will be determined only after you submit your complete AUB application and upon the recommendation of the department(s) concerned.
We usually consider applications for transfer from all universities which are accredited by the ministry of higher education in their home countries.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All students (Lebanese or non-Lebanese) must secure from the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) - Equivalence Committee (
English,
Arabic) (Beirut, UNESCO Palace area), either the equivalence of their diplomas or the permission to enter the freshman class. The Equivalence Committee requires the students to have their official papers such as the original final high school or university grades and diplomas authenticated from countries where they studied: Ministry of Education, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Lebanese Embassy. Failure to submit the equivalence/permission to the Office of Admissions by course registration date will result in registration hold and delay/refusal of the residency permits for non-Lebanese students.
