Applicants who met the University’s entry requirement and submitted their complete documents such as high school diploma, transcripts and passports to the University Admissions Office will receive a ‘Full Admission’ letter

Applicants who did not submit the complete documents such as high school diploma, transcripts, and passports may be admitted on a conditional basis and will receive a ‘Conditional Admissions’ letter until all documents are received.

Applicants who fail to meet full admission requirements but show potential for academic success at the university level may be admitted on a provisional basis. These admitted students are required to follow stipulations outlined in a ‘Provisional Admission’ letter and may be enrolled in the Intensive English Language Program (IEP) or in the Foundation year program. The University works closely with provisionally admitted students to develop a plan for meeting the required stipulations and achieving regular admission status. Students typically remain under provisional admittance status for one semester or up to one year. A regular student status can be obtained after meeting the admission criteria.

Applicants who have completed any post-secondary coursework elsewhere and wish to apply AUBH as a transfer student must submit the same documents to the Admissions Office as those required for freshman admission. In addition, a transfer applicant must submit the following:

  • Official transcripts from all previously attended colleges/universities.
  • Course descriptions and syllabi in English for all coursework completed at all previously attended colleges/universities.

A transfer applicant must also meet the following conditions:

  • Undergone the postsecondary course of study within the past five years.
  • Obtained a minimum CGPA of 2.3 (75%) and above or equivalent, based on the most recent transcript presented by the student.
  • A transfer applicant must be in good academic standing from the transferring institution (i.e., not on probation, suspended, or dismissed)
  • A transfer applicant must be transferring from a recognized and accredited institution of higher education that offers learning experiences equivalent to those offered at AUBH.

The official evaluation of transfer credit is completed by the relevant college at AUBH once course descriptions, syllabi, and official transcripts are received by the Admissions Office. All transcripts received become the property of AUBH, transcripts will not be returned, reissued to the transfer applicant, or forwarded to another institution. The official evaluation of transfer credit is kept in the applicant’s academic file.  

After having completed all procedures required for transfer admission, an applicant with advanced standing is provided with a statement identifying the credits accepted for transfer. Transfer credit is only to be awarded for courses that have an equivalency at AUBH and show an earned grade of “C” or better from a university-level institution or program with admission standards acceptable to AUBH. 

Transfer credit is evaluated and can be applied in one of the following ways:

  • Parallel credit: The transferred coursework must have involved at least the same amount of class time and the same content.
  • Electives: The transferred coursework must be clearly related to the applicant’s academic program and career goal, thereby serving as a major elective. In some cases, transferred coursework deemed liberal arts may be accepted as general electives if such coursework is not specifically offered at AUBH.

Transfer credits are recorded as credits earned but are not computed into the GPA at AUBH or enrollment status for any given term. No more than 50% of the credits required to earn a degree from AUBH may be considered as transfer credit.

Applicants who met the University’s entry requirement and submitted their complete documents such as high school diploma, transcripts and passports to the university Admission Office will receive a Full Admission letter issued by the Admission Office.

A visiting student is a student who is not formally admitted to AUBH but is allowed to enroll in coursework for transfer back to the home institution. Prior to enrolling, an applicant for visiting student status should check with their home institution and confirm the transferability of coursework completed at AUBH. Applicants seeking visiting student status must submit the following:

  • Official Visiting Student Application
  • Official University Transcript From their Home Institution

Granting of admission for visiting students is entirely within the discretion of the Office of Admissions and the appropriate College Dean. If the application for visiting student admission is approved, registration is then completed through the Office of the Registrar. Visiting students may enroll in any university course for which they have the necessary academic background and qualifications. However, courses with enrollment limits have restrictions and will apply priority to full-time AUBH students. Normally, a student is not allowed to register as a visiting student for more than 12 credit hours.
