Spring 2026
The information on GHEA21 (OSUN) Online Courses for Spring 2026 is available on the AUCA website under the Online Registration section.
The list of course equivalents is posted HERE.
Priority deadline to register for Spring 2026 classes is December 19. The registration system will be closed during the winter break and will open up again on the 5th of January.
If you are interested in taking an GHEA21 (OSUN) course in Spring 2026, please get acquainted with the following eligibility criteria, as well as general information and rules you have to follow before you start the registration process.
AUCA students must use AUCA online registration to register for GHEA21 (OSUN) courses offered by AUCA. Please note that GHEA21 (OSUN) courses offered at AUCA are treated as regular AUCA courses. If 2, 3, 4th- year (study year at the start of courses) students register for GHEA21 (OSUN) courses offered by AUCA, their maximum semester load is still 33 credits (regular load).
Students are required to check whether they meet the eligibility criteria before applying for any GHEA21 (OSUN) online courses offered by partner institutions. Applications of students who don't meet eligibility criteria will be declined.
- Full-time undergraduate students;
- Sophomore, junior, senior years of study;
- Overall cumulative GPA: 3.0 (minimum);
- “C+” grade or higher for both FYS I and II;
- Fulfilling prerequisite requirements, if any.
General information and rules:
- All courses are offered online.
- All courses are in the local time of the university offering a course, so students need to check with Bishkek time.
- Since space for each course is limited, seats will be offered on a first come first served basis.
- Since space for each course is limited, students are allowed to take up to 6 ECTS (AUCA) credits for GHEA21 (OSUN) credits.
- It is each student's responsibility to receive approval of their advisor to take an GHEA21 (OSUN) course of their interest and ensure it covers the necessary graduation requirement for them.
- Submitting a course application on the GHEA21 (OSUN) portal implies that a student received advisor approval to take that course.
- Students taking GHEA21 (OSUN) courses will be allowed to take up to 36 credits – this includes both AUCA and GHEA21 (OSUN) course credits - in the Spring 2026 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 GHEA21 (OSUN) courses for Spring 2026 do not exceed 36 credits.
- In order to be eligible to receive an GHEA21 (OSUN) student mobility grant award, applicants must have participated in or be enrolled in at least one GHEA21 (OSUN) Online Course.
NOTE: the 36-credit rule will only apply to students taking Spring 2026 GHEA21 (OSUN) courses outside of AUCA. See an example and explanations below for more clarity.
- All courses are free and no separate payment is required as long as students’ total semester load (AUCA and GHEA21 (OSUN) credits) is no more than 36 credits. Please take GHEA21 (OSUN) 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 – 36.
- Students will receive grades for courses. The grade received for the GHEA21 (OSUN) course will affect overall GPA.
- Students no longer have to transfer GHEA21 (OSUN) courses into AUCA by submitting the transfer form. GHEA21 (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 2026. Grades for courses will be added based on official transcripts that AUCA will receive from the GHEA21 (OSUN) course host institution.
- GHEA21 (OSUN) courses that are indicated as 8 ECTS credits on the GHEA21 (OSUN) website will be added as 6-credit courses to students' AUCA transcripts.
For example:
A student wants to take the maximum load of 36 credits in Spring 2026, and register for the GHEA21 (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’s AUCA courses and an GHEA21 (OSUN) course, in this case - Civic Engagement course;
- If there are no time conflicts, register for the 6 ECTS-credit Civic Engagement course on the GHEA21 (OSUN) portal and wait to be accepted. When accepted, students receive a notification email.
- To submit the course commitment form on the GHEA21 (OSUN) portal and wait to receive access to course materials and wait for the GHEA21 (OSUN) course to be added to AUCA transcript in January 2026 after the end of the add-drop period by the Registrar’s Office.
- Please note that the course host institution might request additional information from students (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.
- AUCA students must use AUCA online registration to register for GHEA21 (OSUN) courses offered by AUCA.
- To register for GHEA21 (OSUN) courses offered outside of AUCA, students have to apply on the GHEA21 (OSUN) portal.
