Graduate Students

Directed Study allows the exceptional degree-seeking student to work in an area of special academic interest under the direct supervision of a faculty member.

Students may withdraw from a course after the end of the drop/add period, but before the mid-semester deadline announced in the University calendar.

This policy explains how courses can be double-counted when a student elects to fulfill two majors, or between a major and a minor.

Students who wish to experience but not be evaluated on their performance in a course, may elect to audit the course. This gives them access to the course and all related course materials. However, no grade is recorded.

Students studying at The American University of Paris are expected to attend all scheduled classes and are responsible for understanding specific attendance policies set by faculty members.

Cette politique régit le processus décisionnaire concernant les jours de fermeture de l’établissement et le respect de ceux-ci.

The American University of Paris makes decisions concerning University holidays and the observance thereof via its Calendar Committee and collective bargaining agreements. This policy ensures compliance with French law, consistency, transparency, clear communication with constituents, and fair remuneration.
