NOTE for SENIORS: all the senior students who are planning to graduate in Spring 2025 are required to check the last day of classes of the OSUN course of their choice to make sure that it aligns with the AUCA calendar, so that you can receive your OSUN grade on time.
General information and rules:
- All听courses听are offered听online.
- All听courses听are in the local time of the university offering a听course, so students need to check with Bishkek time.听
- Since space for each听course听is limited, seats will be offered on a first come first served basis.
- Since space for each听course听is limited, students are allowed to take up to 6 ECTS (AUCA) credits for听OSUN听credits.听
- It is each student's responsibility to receive approval of their advisor to take an听OSUN听course of their interest and ensure it covers the necessary graduation requirement for them.听听
- Submitting a course application on the听OSUN听portal implies that a student received advisor approval to take that course.
- Students taking听OSUN听courses听will be allowed to take听up to 36听credits听鈥撎this includes both AUCA and听OSUN听course听credits听- in the spring 2025 semester in order to be able to take these courses. This means that if students would like to take an OSUN course, they need to leave free credits so that their total credits of AUCA and OSUN courses for Spring 2025 do not exceed 36 credits.
- In order to be eligible to receive an听OSUN听student mobility grant award, applicants must have participated in or be enrolled in听at least one听OSUN听Online听Course.
听
NOTE:听the 36-credit rule will only apply to students taking Spring 2025 OSUN courses听outside听of AUCA.听See an example and explanations below for more clarity.
- All听courses听are free and no separate payment is required as long as students鈥 total semester load (AUCA and听OSUN听credits) is no more than 36 credits. Please take听OSUN听course credits into account when calculating your total credits for the semester, otherwise you will be required to pay for the overload if you exceed the maximum number of credits allowed 鈥 36.
- Students will receive grades for听courses. The听grade received for the听OSUN听course听will affect overall GPA.
- Students no longer have to transfer OSUN courses into AUCA by submitting the transfer form. OSUN courses will be added to each student's AUCA transcript manually by the Registrar's Office after the end of the add-drop period in January 2025. Grades for courses will be added based on official transcripts that AUCA will receive from the OSUN course host institution.
- OSUN courses that are indicated as 8 ECTS credits on the OSUN website will be added as 6-credit courses to students' AUCA transcripts.听
For example:
A student wants to take the maximum load of 36 credits in Spring 2025, and register for the OSUN course titled Civic Engagement course offered by Bard College, which is 6 ECTS credits. The steps to take would be:
- To register for AUCA courses through the AUCA OR for no more than 30 credits and make sure there are no time conflicts between the student鈥檚 AUCA courses and an听OSUN听course, in this case - Civic Engagement course;
- If there are no time conflicts, register for the 6 ECTS-credit Civic Engagement course on the听听and wait to be accepted. When accepted, students receive a notification email.听
- To submit the course commitment form on the OSUN portal and wait to receive access to course materials and wait for the OSUN course to be added to AUCA transcript in January 2025 after the end of the add-drop period by the Registrar鈥檚 Office.听
- Please note that the course host institution might request additional information from students听(a copy of the passport, a request to submit a specific form, etc.) in order to officially enroll them in the course offered at the host university.听
