Credit recognition and transfer.

As noted in Art. 13 RD 1393/2007 of October 29, subsequently modified by RD 861/2010 and RD 195/2016, students enrolled at the Antonio de Nebrija University may request recognition or transfer of credits taken at this or another University.

Recognition is understood as the acceptance by the Antonio de Nebrija University of the credits that, having been obtained in some official studies, in this or another University, are computed in different ones in order to obtain an official degree.

Likewise, the transfer of credits implies the inclusion in the official accrediting academic documents of the studies taken by each student, and the credits obtained in official courses previously studied, in this or another University, which have not led to obtaining an official degree.

Credits may be recognized in the new studies in the following cases:

1. If the degree the student wishes to access belongs to the same branch of knowledge, a number of credits that are at least 15 percent of the total credits of the degree, corresponding to subjects of basic education in said degree will be recognized.

Nebrija University will take special care in the process of recognition of credits for professional experience, which will be applied with a restrictive criterion and a clear correlation between experience and recognized competences, for a correct and orderly development of the new legal setting, and within the framework of the instructions issued by the Assessment Agency both in the verification processes and in view of the accreditation processes of the degrees.

• • In accordance with article 12.6 of the R.D. 1393/2007 of October 29, students may obtain academic recognition in credits for participation in cultural, sports, student representation, solidarity and cooperation university activities of up to a maximum of 6 credits of the total curriculum. The Antonio de Nebrija University has implemented this right in its regulatory regime through the “PGA_2 Procedure for teaching the Development of the Participative and Solidarity Spirit course.”

Under no circumstances will studies be recognized if taken in institutions that do not have the officially recognized character of Universities or Higher Education Centers or that, taken in Centers of that nature, do not have the character of higher studies, such as professional continuous education or university extension courses. Nor can the credits corresponding to the final research project for bachelor and master's degrees be recognized.

Credit recognition must be requested by the student at the time of formalizing their enrollment. The student must also pay the fees established for this purpose, and present the following documentation to the General Secretary of Courses:

• Academic Record (original or certified photocopy) stating the name of the subjects, their type, the number of ECTS credits and the grade obtained by the student, and the detailed programs of the subjects (sealed original or certified photocopy).
• In the case of the credits mentioned for work experience, they must present the documentation proving professional and work experience.

The Academic Committee of each department will study in detail the documentation provided by the student, and will issue the appropriate resolution accepting or denying recognition and/or transfer

All the credits obtained by the student in official education taken at any University, including transferred, recognized and passed credits for the obtaining of the corresponding degree will be included in his/her academic record and reflected in the European Supplement to the Degree, if it is requested.

The University regulates and implements the recognition of credits in students' records, based on the current legal regulations and the internal one that are reflected in the “PGA_1 Procedure for the recognition and transfer of credits”, approved by the Office of the Vice-Rector for Academic Ordinance, and that are available in the Nebrija Network and the Student Portal.
