When changing universities, it is very important for students to have credits already earned at their previous university recognised for their further studies.
In order to apply for credit recognition, students usually have to submit a formal application to the new university. This request often includes a list of the courses, examinations and other academic achievements already completed as well as relevant evidence such as transcripts or certificates.
The new university then reviews the documents submitted and decides whether to recognise the achievements. Factors such as the consistency of the content of the courses, the quality of previous achievements and the respective curricula of the participating universities are taken into account.
It is important to note that the recognition of achievements is handled differently depending on the university and country. It is therefore advisable to find out about the specific guidelines and procedures of the target university at an early stage and to seek support from student counsellors or administrative staff.
Successful recognition of credits can help to shorten the course of study, avoid duplication of work and make the transition between universities smoother.
