AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG A maximum of 60 credit hours from two-year and four-year institutions of higher education approved by the Ministry of Higher Education with a grade of C or above may be considered for transfer evaluation. Individual teaching units determine the exact number of credit hours that apply towards their specific degree programs. Transfer applicants must submit an official transcript of each collegiate institution previously attended. Attendance at all institutions must be reported whether or not credit was earned and whether or not transfer credit is desired. Failure to report all previous academic work will be considered sufficient cause for rejection of an application or to rescind that student’s acceptance into AUK. The undergraduate admission decision for transferring students is based upon cumulative transfer GPA and earned credit from all prior undergraduate coursework. Consequently, all coursework taken prior to the semester of admission to AUK must be evaluated for possible transfer credit as part of the admission process. No undergraduate-level coursework taken prior to the semester of admission to AUK may be transferred to AUK after the admission decision is made. All undergraduate students are required to take the placement test administered by the University. The purpose of this test is to determine the sequence of English Language and/or Mathematics courses the student is required to take and placement into remedial coursework may be required. No student is allowed to sit for the placement test more than once for any given semester.
