Transfer Students

The American University of Rome welcomes transfer students. Students with an equivalent of sixty semester credit hours of transfer credit may seek a waiver for the SAT and high school transcript requirement.

Upon receipt of complete official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended, the University shall determine the number of transfer credits to be accepted toward fulfilling the requirements for a degree at The American University of Rome. Transfer credits may be applied to satisfy the 42-credit General Education requirement, up to 50% of the requirements for a major and up to 18 credits of free electives. Transfer credit will not be granted for courses completed with a grade below C. Transfer students are subject to all degree requirements described in the catalog in effect when they enter The American University of Rome. In addition, transfer students are subject to two residency requirements:

• For a bachelor degree, a minimum of 45 credits must be earned at The American University of Rome. For an associate degree, a minimum of 30 credits must be earned at The American University of Rome.
• At least 50% of the credits used to satisfy the requirements for an academic major must be earned at The American University of Rome.
