Transfer requirements.
Previous higher education can count toward your AUS degree. Here is who qualifies as a transfer student, how credit is assessed, and what to prepare.
Applicants with
university credits.
Applicants are considered transfer students after attending one or more full semesters of higher education at a recognized institution.
Institutions listed by DEQAR, regionally accredited US institutions, or institutions accredited by the officially recognized agency or authorities in their country.
Study at an institution outside these categories may still support undergraduate admission — but without transferable credits.
Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard personnel and veterans may submit a Joint Services Transcript (JST).
How transfer credit
is assessed.
- Secondary study records determine eligibility for access to an undergraduate program
- For students transferring more than 60 ECTS, the decision is based on higher education study records
- The Dean of Academics leads the comparability assessment and makes a proposal to the Academic CommitteeCredits are awarded where prior learning aligns with the content and learning outcomes of AUS courses.
- Maximum transferable credits depend on the specific program requirements and the AUS credit transfer policy
- Raise credit transfer at the Admissions Interview — the next administrative steps are confirmed there
The complete file,
item by item.
Documents issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by notarized English translations, arranged at your own expense, before the application can be reviewed as complete.
US military
experience counts.
AUS may accept credits from the Joint Services Transcript, whose professional military education and occupational experience is evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) for college credit recommendations.
All enlisted personnel, officers, and warrant officers from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard — active duty and veterans. Air Force and Space Force personnel submit through the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF).
The admissions team reviews the JST against AUS programs; credits are awarded based on ACE recommendations, where training aligns with course content and outcomes.
Accepted credits reduce the number of courses required for completion, within the maximum set by the program and the credit transfer policy.
Rolling review,
three intakes.
AUS operates rolling admissions: applications are reviewed and decisions made continuously throughout the year. Exact application deadlines per intake are published by AUS.
Prepare early if you need immigration processing or certified translations.
Availability depends on your chosen program and the academic calendar.
Your Offer Letter states the next available term unless you request another.
After a positive decision, return the signed Offer Letter, signed Student Agreement, and Admission Fee proof within 10 calendar days.
Have credits? Raise them early.
Mention credit transfer at your Admissions Interview — that is the moment the next administrative steps are confirmed. The Dean of Academics leads the comparability assessment afterward.
