Study Abroad: Observe the World as You Earn Your Degree

The rapid trend toward globalization poses new challenges while offering exceptional

opportunities. In a world of greater economic integration and political and social

interdependence, study abroad expands the walls of the institution and offers an opportunity to

gain first-hand experience of the larger global community. The American University in Cairo

(AUC) is proud to take part of a longstanding and deep commitment to international education to

help students become active leaders and conscientious members of an increasingly global

society.

Students engaged in international study discover insights into other cultures, develop new

perspectives, and learn to reflect on how their own culture has shaped their understanding of the

world. Immersion in a foreign culture is only one of many educational benefits of the study-

abroad experience. Other students may take it as an opportunity to sharpen their foreign language

skills, network and build friendships around the world, and discover new passions.

Students should use the world as their classroom and grab the opportunity to take part in a wide

range of activities abroad, from pre-professional internships to humanitarian relief efforts.

Therefore, AUC considers it a responsibility to extend this incredibly rewarding experience —

academically, personally and culturally — to the largest number of students possible, rather than

limiting it to a small number.

Introduction

Goals and Program Definitions: The American University in Cairo (AUC) provides its students with a unique opportunity to

study in a foreign country for academic credit. The goal is to provide students with an

international educational experience valuable for both personal growth and career prospects. It

also allows students to better shape their academic careers and to differentiate their

qualifications. Other reasons to study abroad include: new skills, enrichment, intercultural

communication, complimentarily to current program of study, language learning and global

knowledge and awareness.

AUC offers students a wide variety of study-abroad opportunities for a summer, a fall or spring

semester, or an academic year. This handbook is a complete guide for AUC students who would

like to study abroad during their time at AUC.

Study Abroad Categories

There are several forms and durations available for AUC students to study abroad. The main

forms available include:

a. Exchange Program: An AUC student can choose a specific university from the list of

AUC exchange universities to spend the duration of a semester or a year, under the terms

and conditions of each exchange partner university. Under the exchange program

category, AUC students pay AUC tuition in return for students at the partner universities

paying their tuition and coming to AUC. Office of International Students and Study

Abroad (ISSA) will not support any applications to non- affiliate universities.

Furthermore, ISSA will not support applications to affiliate universities that do not go

through ISSA selection process.

6

b. Study Abroad (direct enrollment): An AUC student can spend the duration of a

semester, summer or a year studying at another university. Students can choose a

university from the list of partner schools.

General Duration for an Exchange/Study Abroad option: Students at AUC can choose the length of time they wish to study abroad from the list of

durations below. The durations available for study abroad and/or exchange include:

● Fall semester

● Spring semester

● Fall and spring semesters (also known as academic year)

● Summer session (study abroad only)

The selection of how long a student chooses to stay abroad depends on many factors. AUC

students are advised to start researching their study-abroad options as soon as they complete their

freshman year and declare a major.

Academic Credits – Course Advising, Evaluation and Transfer: (For Exchange/Study Abroad and Summer Study Abroad Programs)

Advising With advisers, students should conduct an audit for their degrees prior to study-abroad or

exchange programs in order to determine the best courses to take abroad. It is highly

recommended that students’ complete prerequisite courses prior to study abroad and leave a few

elective courses open in order to take courses that are complementary to AUC’s offerings. Prior

to a meeting with a faculty adviser, students should prepare a list of courses already taken and

planned for the host university. Often, advisers will request course descriptions.

Evaluation

Course Transfer Guidelines for Undergraduate AUC Students:

During a SEMESTER, undergraduate students must enroll in four to five courses per semester at

the host university.

During a SUMMER session, undergraduate students must enroll in two to three courses,

depending on the host university, per term at specific host universities for visa purposes.

Credits earned at the host university will transfer back to AUC after following the below

guidelines:

How to Get Study-Abroad or Exchange Courses Approved for Transfer to AUC:

1. Select the courses you plan to take from the host institution course offerings for the desired

semester(s)/session.

2. Use the Transfer Course Equivalency (TCE) Tool as a guide for valid pre-evaluated course

equivalency.

3. Review your selection of courses with your Academic Advisor.

4. Securing approval, from the Transfer Credit Affairs in the Registrar’s Office, is a mandatory

step before travelling to guarantee transferring the pre-approved courses back to AUC.

5. Log in to the Registrar Appointment Scheduler to sign up for an appointment with the

Transfer Credit Advisor. Exchange students must ensure that the Office of International Students

12

and Study Abroad (ISSA) has sent their information to the Registrar’s Office prior to signing up

for an appointment.

6. For the appointment, make sure to have a print out of the course description and class

timings/offerings for all selected courses. It has to be PRINTED DIRECTLY from the host

institution web pages.

7. During the appointment, you will fill out the ‘Transfer Credit Pre-Approval’ form with the

courses selected.

8. Your form with all supporting documents will be submitted to the appropriate academic

departments for their evaluation.

9. An email will be sent to your AUC email account once the Transfer Credit Affairs receives all

academic departments’ pre-approvals.

10. Courses/credits will be transferred only after the Transfer Credit Affairs receives your

official transcript from the host institution.

Helpful and Important Tips for Course Approvals and Transfers:

ONLY Study Abroad students for fall or spring semesters are required to submit a

Planned Educational Leave of Absence before departure, this is not required from

students on Exchange Programs.

Business Law courses are not transferable.

Science, Computer, and Engineering courses require detailed syllabi, list of laboratory

experiments and catalog description for pre-approvals. Pre-approvals are preliminary

until you provide the department with course assignments and all related materials upon

your return for final approval.

Economics courses pre-approvals are preliminary until you provide the department with

course assignments and all related materials upon your return for final approval.

Political Science courses pre-approvals for summer or winter abroad (Short Terms) are

preliminary until you provide the department with course assignments and all related

materials upon your return for final approval.

RHET, FILM, THTR and LING courses require detailed syllabi for transfer evaluation.

Foreign language courses are transferable towards General Electives and will not fulfill

any other degree requirements.

Study Abroad courses evaluated as equivalent to any 3000/4000 AUC course-level

outside your major, will fulfill the capstone requirement.

It is advisable to request more pre-approvals than you intend to take. However, try to

avoid overloading the academic departments with unnecessary pre-approval requests.

A maximum of ‘9’ credits may be transferred for courses completed through on-line

studies. You must not enroll in on-line courses during an academic semester/session in

which you are registered for courses at AUC.

More information provided about your intended coursework, will help secure

preapprovals. Be sure to obtain accurate course description and syllabus.

Before leaving the host university, ensure to request an official copy of your transcript to

send to the following address:

Residence Requirement Rules ● To obtain a bachelor’s degree, a student must take at least 45 credit hours of courses in

residence at AUC.

● At least 30 credits of the 45 must be in courses at the 3000-4000 levels (upper level

courses).

● No more than 15 transfer credits at 3000-4000 level courses will satisfy concentration

requirement of any program. AUC students who join a year abroad exchange program

administered by the university are exempted from this rule.

● The maximum transfer credits to be considered towards concentration requirement for

programs offered by each school is as follows:

● A maximum of 15 transfer credits at 3000-4000 level courses in programs offered by the

Business School.

● A maximum of 15 transfer credits at 3000-4000 level courses in programs offered by the

Science, Computer, & Engineering School.

● A maximum of 15 transfer credits at 3000-4000 level courses in programs offered by

Global Affairs & Public Policy School except for the Middle East Studies program; a

maximum of 12 transfer credit hours.

● A maximum of 12 transfer credits at 3000-4000 level courses in programs offered by

Humanities & Social Sciences School.

The following parameters indicate what occurs regarding transcripts and credits after the study-

abroad period:

● Only pre-approved courses completed with a minimum grade of ‘C’ or equivalent will

show on the AUC transcript.

● Courses graded C- or below will not show on the AUC transcript.

● Grade point average is not affected by the grades received during the semester or year

abroad. Credits earned at universities that are not accredited will not be transferred back

to the AUC academic record.

It is very important that upon completion of the study abroad duration, official transcripts are

sent from the host university to the following address:





Upon Return

● Notify ISSA of their return.

● Contact the Office of the Registrar about the transcript from the host university.

● As soon as your transcript is received, review your transcript from Banner Self Service

(BSS) to view your credits from the study abroad/exchange.

Financial Matters

Tuition

All students traveling on exchange must complete their full AUC tuition payments prior to their

departure to the host universities for the duration of their stay for either a semester or an

academic year

Financial Aid Only students traveling on AUC EXCHANGE PROGRAMS will continue to pay AUC tuition

fees according to their financial categories. Study-abroad programs require that students pay

tuition directly to the host university.

Financial aid does not apply to students on study-abroad programs; however, some partner

universities do offer discounted tuition to AUC students.

Exchange and study-abroad students are responsible for securing funds to cover living expenses,

Students on AUC’s financial aid and scholarship programs will still benefit from their financial

assistance while traveling on an exchange program. This will not apply to students who are

traveling for a summer session or on a study-abroad basis (paying the host university’s fees).

Students who receive financial aid from AUC will continue to receive it during the exchange

semester (except for the Mellon Fund financial aid).

Scholarships

Partial or full scholarships are available to students who are applying for some exchange

programs. These scholarships are provided by the host universities prior to the actual travel date.

The scholarships provided by AUC’s partner schools change from year to year; the ISSA office

will provide these details prior the start of each application cycle. The individual campus

scholarships might be in the form of housing, monetary allowances or tuition.

*Students on exchange will have to pay tuition fees for 15 credit hours at AUC even if

they take less than 15 credit hours at the host university

Visa Requirements and Passports

Passports

It is crucial to have a valid passport to be able to travel on any AUC exchange or study-abroad

program. Updating it early in the process is recommended. For students who already have a

passport, it is recommended to check the expiration date and ensure that there is at least a six-

month validity after the return date to AUC and Egypt.

Visas

Visa requirements are different for each country. All students traveling abroad will need to

obtain a student visa.

Students will be responsible for issuing their own visas. Students receive an acceptance letter and

visa requirement sheet from their specific universities. Most visas will share these common

requirements unless otherwise stated:

● English Recent bank statement (of the sponsor/guardian’s name) stamped

16

● Valid passport

● Acceptance letter from the host university and the visa support letter, i.e., J-1 or I-20

form for U.S. universities and visa support letters from non-U.S. universities.

GRADUATE

AUC provides exchange opportunities for study abroad at a partner university for one semester

only to its graduate students.

Exchange Program: An AUC student can choose a specific university from the list of

exchange universities to spend the duration of a semester under the terms and conditions

of each exchange partner school. Under the exchange program model, students pay AUC

tuition in return for students at the partner universities paying their home school tuition

and coming to study at AUC.

Exchange opportunity usually takes place in the third semester of a program that lasts for at least

four semesters. Not all graduate programs have exchange partners in the same discipline, so

students should consult with their graduate advisers to determine eligibility.

Requirements:

Graduate students interested in applying for the exchange semester must fulfill all the

requirements below:

● GPA of 3.2 or higher

● Complete all English courses, if applicable

● Prior to travel: Graduate students traveling on exchange basis must be enrolled in three

courses (9 credit hours), excluding thesis and capstone courses, during the semester

abroad at the host university. They have to maintain being full time students according to

AUC catalog.

● Graduate students applying to an exchange program must be on a good academic

standing, i.e. not on an academic probation, from the time they start AUC interest form

until the departure date.

Graduate students who are interested to study abroad for a semester but not on an AUC exchange

program must check the study-abroad academic credits – course advising, evaluation and transfer

requirements.

Application Procedures and Timeline:

Graduate exchange options are handled on a case-by-case basis due to the increased level of

details in graduate programs abroad. Students who wish to spend a semester abroad on exchange

during their master’s program at AUC will need to map their master’s degree completion

timeline and review their AUC degree audit.

Graduate Program Process:

1. An email to be sent to graduate advisers with available slots along with a link to AUC

interest form.

19

2. Students need to obtain informal approval from their advisers after examining suitable

exchange options.

3. Students complete AUC interest form before the deadline.

4. ISSA shares applicants’ information with OSII, to be shared with graduate advisers.

5. Graduate advisers make selection decisions and inform OSII of nominees eligible for

exchange opportunities.

OSII shares final placements with ISSA. The host universities still have the right/reject

the nominated students according to further criteria that will match their own rules and

regulations

6. ISSA sends placements to nominated students for confirmations, and accordingly send

nominations to host universities.

7. Nominees complete host university applications and ensure that all documents are

submitted.

When deciding on the travel exchange semester, students must consider the timeline below:

Academic Credits – Course Advising/Equivalency and Transfer:

Advising

Graduate students will meet with their graduate faculty advisers, and students should conduct an

audit for their degrees prior to applying to the exchange program in order to determine the best

courses to take abroad. It is recommended that graduate students complete their graduate

prerequisite courses prior to their semester abroad. Before meeting with the adviser, students

should prepare a list of courses already taken and a list of courses planned for the host university.

Often, advisers will request course descriptions.

Course Equivalency

After meeting with their advisers, graduate students should prepare a list of courses they wish to

take during their time abroad. Graduate students will fill out the ‘Transfer Credit Evaluation

Form’ available at the Office of the Registrar for course equivalency.

21

Transfer Credit Evaluation

Upon the recommendation of the student’s program to the school dean in consultation with the

Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Office of the Registrar, a graduate student may

receive a number of transfer credits equivalent to up to one-third of the credit hours of graduate

course work required for his or her graduate degree. Transfer course work is applied as credit

(TR) toward the degree and is not included in the calculation of the grade point average.

Graduate transfer credits will not be granted for credits earned by examination or for completing

required thesis or dissertation credit hours.

A graduate degree program may establish lower limits on the number of transfer credits than

those of the university. Degree programs establishing lower limits may waive their own policy,

but within the university specified limit, by approval of the concerned school dean. Course work

credits to be transferred and taken prior to matriculation to a current AUC degree program must

have been completed within five years of admission to this degree program.

Types of credit allowed to transfer encompass graduate-level course work taken at another

institution that meet the following conditions:

It has not been previously used to earn another degree or certificate.

It is graded graduate-level course work from an accredited institution for which the

student has achieved a grade of “B” or better.

It is of relevance to the student’s program of study.

Any request for the acceptance of transfer credit towards an AUC degree shall be carefully

considered by the program concerned before submitting a recommendation to the school dean for

approval.

- Graduate students traveling on exchange will be charged tuition for three to four AUC graduate

courses. They will enroll in three to four courses (9 credit hours – 12 credit hours) depending on

the host university policy.

- Courses transferred from host school will not include thesis and capstone courses.

- Only courses graded B or above will be counted as an earned credit and will transfer back to

AUC. All the courses taken abroad will show on the AUC transcript.

- Courses graded B- or below will show on the AUC transcript but will not be transferred back to

AUC. The student’s grade point average is not affected by courses taken abroad.

Grades of "Pass/ Fail" or “Credit/No Credit" are not accepted for transfer of credits.

It is crucial to meet with the assistant registrar for graduate student records and academic affairs

at the Office of the Registrar to ensure course transferability.

22

Students must make arrangements at the host university in order for an official copy of their

transcripts to be sent the following address:





Financial Matters

Tuition

All graduate students traveling on exchange must pay their AUC full tuition prior to their

departure to the host schools.

Financial Aid

Students who are studying abroad through AUC exchange program will continue to pay AUC

tuition fees according to their financial categories, and retain merit scholarships and/or financial

aid arrangements. Financial aid and scholarships do not apply to students on study-abroad

programs, i.e. non-exchange programs.

Studying abroad requires a great deal of financial planning as exchange students are responsible

for securing funds to cover living expenses, as well as other related expenses abroad either for

self or family.

● Financial aid and fellowships apply to students who travel on exchange programs.

● Students on a fellowship need to receive approval from the fellowship entity; i.e., Yousef

Jameel fellows need approval from the respective office.

● Graduate students on fellowships must check with their departments to find out if the

fellowship applies during their semester abroad.

Scholarships

Graduate students are eligible to apply for the graduate study-abroad grants offered by AUC.

More information can be found at the Office of Graduate Student Services.

Visa Requirements and Passports

Passports

It is crucial to have a valid passport to be able to travel, it is recommended to check the

expiration dates and ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months after the return date

to Egypt. Updating it early in the process is recommended.

Visas

Visa requirements will be different for each country. All students traveling abroad will need to

obtain a student visa.

Students will be responsible for issuing their own visas. Students will also receive an acceptance

letter and visa requirement sheet for their specific universities. Visas to most countries will

require the following documents:

23

● A recent bank statement (not older than three months , and the amount depends on the

host university)

● A valid passport

● Acceptance letter from the host university and the visa support letter, i.e., J-1 or I-20

form for U.S. schools and visa support letters from non-U.S. schools

Annex 1: Frequently Asked Questions Undergraduate Exchange and Study Abroad Program

Requirements and Application Process:

I am interested in studying abroad. When should I begin the application process?

Students should begin the application process at least two semesters before their intended date of

travel. For example, if you want to study overseas in the fall semester or for an entire academic

year, you should start the application process at the beginning of the previous fall. In case you

plan to study abroad in the spring semester, you should start the application process during the

previous spring semester. For timeline details, please refer to page eight.

What is the difference between Exchange and Study Abroad?

ISSA offers both Exchange and Study Abroad opportunities at more than 60 partner institutions.

If you are selected for an exchange opportunity, you would pay your AUC tuition fees for the

duration of your exchange program, and your AUC financial aid & most scholarships would

apply. If you travel on a study abroad basis, you pay host university tuition fees for the duration

of your program, where your AUC financial aid & scholarships will NOT apply.

How long can I study abroad?

You can study abroad for a semester or a year based on the program type.

Can I take my last semester abroad?

No, you have to spend your last semester at AUC.

I am not declared yet, can I still apply?

No you can’t. To apply, you have to be declared by the semester you are applying in, or your

declaration result should be out before AUC online application deadline.

I am taking my last RHET course at the semester I am applying to, can I still apply?

Yes, you can apply. It will show on your unofficial transcript that you are already enrolled in the

course.

How can I apply to the program?

You have to complete AUC online application, and submit it along with the required documents

mentioned in the application to the International Students and Study Abroad office (ISSA) before

the designated deadline. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

What are the universities I can apply to?

The list of universities is updated every semester on ISSA website, so you have to check the

website click here to know available universities, terms of stay, and available slots. Please refer

to page 26.

http://www.aucegypt.edu/studentlife/isa/Pages/UndergradProg.aspx

25

How many universities should I add while completing my AUC online application?

You can add up to three exchange universities, and up to two study abroad universities (if you

are willing to take the study abroad option). You can only choose from the list in the application,

if a university is not in the list, this means that there are no available slots at such university.

Do I have to add both the exchange and study abroad university choices while completing

my AUC application?

No, you can only put the list of universities you are interested in, so if you are only interested in

exchange opportunities, you don’t have to list the study abroad university choices, and vice

versa.

How can I choose the host university?

First, you have to check the comment column on the ISSA website list to make sure that your

major is not restricted at the host university.

Second, you have to make sure that your major is available and strong at the host university

website. You can refer to your academic adviser for such information

Can I travel to a non- affiliate university? Will ISSA help me out with the procedures?

Yes, you can travel to a non-affiliate university, but it will be on study-abroad basis not exchange

basis. ISSA will not support any applications to non-affiliate universities. Furthermore, ISSA

will not support applications to partner universities that do not go through ISSA application

process.

What if I miss the AUC application deadline?

There are two application cycles, one at the beginning of the fall semester and the other one at

the beginning of the spring semester, so if you miss the fall cycle deadline, you can apply to the

spring cycle.

Application Screening and Selection:

How can I know that my application got accepted?

Once your application goes through eligibility screening for GPA, a complete application and a

general evaluation of your resume and personal statement, after passing these two stages, ISSA

will send you the first acceptance email with your interview time.

Who will interview me?

The interviewing panel comprises a faculty member from your school and a staff member from

The Office of Strategic & International Initiatives.

How will the interview panel evaluate me?

The panel will evaluate your academic performance, your extracurricular activities, your resume,

and your work experience/internships.

How do I know that I passed the interview?

26

You will receive a final acceptance email from the ISSA office that includes your awarded

program and university.

Can I change my awarded program and university?

No, you can’t. Placements are final and are based on the panel decision.

After acceptance, what are the next steps?

You will be invited to the Post Nomination Orientation (PNO), this session is mandatory.

Information about the time and the date of the session will be sent to you in the final acceptance

email. Failure to attend the PNO will result in reviewing your nomination.

What if I got accepted but I couldn’t travel, can I withdraw?

Yes, you have a chance to withdraw only before completing the host university application. If

you decline the Exchange/Study Abroad opportunity after completing the host university

application, you cannot apply to any exchange/study abroad program administered by ISSA

during the next academic year. You may request exemption from this rule if you had declined

due to force majeure. While you must provide proof of the emergency situation that hindered

your travel abroad, the decision to give you an exemption from this rule is at the discretion of

ISSA

I applied but I got rejected, can I apply next semester?

Yes, you can apply to the next cycle given that you will not be spending your last semester

abroad.

Host university application:

When am I supposed to start completing the host university application?

First, ISSA will have to nominate you to the host university, and then you will receive an email

from ISSA with the host university application and guidelines to follow.

Who will help me out with the host university application?

ISSA will help you with the host university application and throughout the process

Can I contact the host university directly?

No, you can’t. All your inquiries should go through ISSA.

Course Transfer and Evaluation:

How many courses should I take while I am abroad?

If you are on exchange basis you have to take a number of courses equivalent to 15 credit hours.

Please be aware that if you take less credit hours abroad, you are going to pay for 15 credit hours

at AUC. If you are on study abroad basis, you have to be a full time student in order to be

eligible for the student visa.

What courses should I take abroad?

27

You have to check your four-year plan, discuss your study abroad with your academic advisor

and then decide on the courses.

How can I make sure that the courses will be equivalent to AUC courses?

First, you have to check and read carefully the Registrar guideline on page 21and then take an

appointment with the Registrar Transfer Unit to work with you on the course equivalency.

If the courses I am interested to take abroad are on the Transfer Credit Equivalency Tool

(TCE), do I still need to go to the Registrar Office?

Yes, you have to. It is a must to go to the Registrar Transfer Unit to make sure that the courses

will be transferred.

If the courses I am interested to take are not on the TCE, does this mean that I can’t take

this courses?

No, you just need to go to the Registrar Office to make sure that the course will be transferred

back to AUC. The TCE doesn’t have all courses that all host universities offer.

My awarded university is not on the TCE, does that mean that I can’t go there?

No, the TCE doesn’t include all our partner universities, so you have to schedule an appointment

with the Registrar Transfer Unit to check credit transferability.

Financial Matters:

Can I still benefit from my financial aid/ scholarship on my exchange semester?

Yes, you can.

Can I still benefit from my financial aid/ scholarship on my study abroad semester?

No, you can’t.

I am on an exchange program, how can I pay my tuition fees and when?

You will receive an email from ISSA office alerting you to pay your AUC tuition fees at AUC.

Payment should be made as a whole, as it can't be divided into installments.

I am on the study abroad program, how can I pay my tuition fees and when?

You will pay your tuition fees to the host institutions by their designated deadline.

Scholarships:

What is Abdallah Jum'ah scholarship?

This is a partial scholarship available to all AUC students who have been accepted into an

affiliate university on study-abroad basis. This scholarship covers the part of tuition fees of the

host university in excess of AUC’s tuition fees.

28

What is Dr. Ahmed and Ann M. El-Mokadem scholarship?

This is a partial scholarship available to exchange/study-abroad students traveling to study at a

US university for a semester or year. A set amount is dispensed to finance travel expenses,

insurance, and/or housing fees.

How can I apply to Abdallah Jum'ah and/or Dr. Ahmed and Ann M. El

Mokadem scholarship?

You don’t have to apply for these scholarships. Selection Panels will recommend awards to some

selected candidates. Final award decisions to receive theses scholarships will be made by ISSA.

If I receive Abdallah Jum’ah and/or Dr.Ahmed and Ann M.El-Mokadem, does this mean

that my AUC scholarship/financial aid will be cancelled?

No, these scholarships are awarded to exchange/study abroad students only on their semester

abroad.

General questions:

If I had travelled before under the auspices of the exchange/study-abroad program, can I

apply to travel again?

No you can’t.

Where will I live abroad?

Most programs offer choices for living arrangements. These include dormitories, apartments

and/or living with a host family. You can find out what types of living arrangements are offered

through searching in the program brochure or looking online at the program website. In practice,

most students live in dormitories. This simplifies your adjustment to a foreign country, means

that you do not have to worry about arranging apartment leases and provides you with potential

friends.

If I face problems at the host university, whom shall I contact?

You should go to the host university international office. You can still contact ISSA.

Can you help me out with issuing the visa?

ISSA office provides guidance throughout the visa issuance process, and it can provide you with

visa support letter if needed. However, it is the student's responsibility to issue the visa and

provide the embassy with all of the required documents.

Graduate Exchange and Study Abroad Program

Application and Selection Questions

Can I join the exchange program? How can I choose the university?

Exchange slots are available for specific disciplines, not university wide. Check the list of

universities on ISSA website to find out if your major is available, and at which universities,

please refer to page 26.

I am interested in the exchange program. When do you suggest I should begin the

application process?

Students should begin the application process at least two semesters before their intended date of

travel. For example, if you want to study overseas in the fall/spring semesters, you should start

the application process during the beginning of the previous fall/spring.

What is the application process like?

You will receive a link for “AUC Graduate Interest Form” from your program advisor, to fill out

and submit by a specific deadline. It is recommended that you discuss your university options

with your advisor before filling out the form.

How competitive is the selection for exchange programs?

The selection process for the exchange opportunity is highly selective. It is carried out by

graduate program advisors for their students who have completed “AUC Graduate Interest

Form”.

Educational Component Questions

How do I choose my university?

You will have to check the list of universities and make sure that your major is available at the

host institution. Make a shortlist of your top three universities, after discussing your choices with

your advisor.

What types of courses can I take while overseas?

At the host institution, courses will vary depending upon the program you select. Some programs

allow students to enroll in any course for which they are qualified, whereas others limit the

selection. On another note, some AUC departments of major allow their students to take core

courses only, while others might allow taking electives. It is necessary to check what is required

in your program. Your program advisor is the one who will approve the courses that you will

take abroad to be transferred back.

How will the exchange/study-abroad program affect my GPA at AUC?

The courses taken during an exchange/study-abroad program are transferred as AUC credit if the

grade scored in the course is a B or above for graduate students without changing your GPA.
