The American University of Kuwait offers non-degree admission to students who already have completed a university degree and who wish to continue their education without seeking a second Bachelor's degree. We hope that the following information will help you to learn more about the Non Degree Program at AUK.
Conditions
A student enrolled in a non-degree program may enroll in credit courses at AUK but is not considered pursuing a degree program. Non- degree students are limited to a maximum of 13 credit hours per semester. In undergraduate courses with specific enrollment limits, priority may be given to students who are pursuing degree programs.
Application Requirements
- KD 35 Non-Refundable Application Fee
- Prior University/College Transcript
Non-Degree applicants must meet the minimum undergraduate academic standards to be considered for admission to AUK. Official transcripts of all courses attempted at each college or university attended must be submitted, regardless of whether credit was earned. A final transcript must be submitted showing that the student successfully completed all requirements for graduation from the institution awarding the degree. All transcripts must be official in order to be reviewed.
Transferring from Non-Degree Status to Degree-Seeking StatusCredit earned in courses with a grade of "C" or better (2.00 G.P.A.) at the American University of Kuwait in non-degree status may be transferred and applied to a degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences if the student is subsequently admitted into a degree program. To apply for degree-seeking status, a non-degree student must submit all the appropriate application forms and supporting documents to the Office of Admissions. Students transferring from non-degree to undergraduate degree-seeking status must have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours of non-degree coursework at AUK with a grade of "C" or above in addition to earning a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 for all non-degree coursework taken at AUK. Students may apply up to 30 credit hours taken in non-degree status at AUK toward a degree program.
Tuition and Fees for the Non-Degree Program
Tuition and fees for non-degree students enrolled in undergraduate courses are the same as those for degree students in the College of Arts and Sciences.
