Welcome transfer students!听The advisors in the ACE Center听look forward to working with you to help make your AUP journey an exciting time of intellectual and personal discovery.听You will be assigned to a dedicated transfer advisor during your first semester at AUP in order to provide specialized support during this transition and ensure that all your credits have been correctly transferred. Upon completion of your first听semester听you will get reassigned to an advisor who matches as closely听as possible your academic interests and needs. You will move into coursework tied to your previous academic standing and based on consultations with your advisor.听
