PRINCIPLES OF RECOGNITION OF MOBILITY

The outgoing student is entitled to receive a recognition of the mobility period from Academy Sumadija - Department in Kragujevac. Recognition of the mobility period is realized in accordance with the principle of flexibility. The Department in Kragujevac evaluates results that the outgoing student has achieved during the mobility period based on the similarity in the learning outcome rather than the difference between the study programs being compared, whereby the knowledge that the outgoing student has gained from a certain field does not have to be identical, but similar i.e. related to the knowledge that he/she would acquire from a particular subject at the Home institution.

RECOGNITION OF COURSES, ECTS CREDITS AND GRADES

As a rule, the Department in Kragujevac fully acknowledges the courses that an outgoing student has passed at the Host institution based on the Learning Agreement and the Transcript of Records, without implementing a special recognition procedure prescribed by the Law on Higher Education on the recognition of a foreign higher education diploma for the purpose of continuing education.

LEARNING AGREEMENT

By signing the Learning Agreement, the Department in Kragujevac allows the student to participate in mobility, to attend activities during the period of mobility and guarantees recognition of ECTS credits and achieved grades. The Learning Agreement is drawn up in English and signed by three parties: the student, the Home institution and the Host institution.

TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDS

The Transcript of Records is confirmation closely linked with the Learning Agreement, representing the recognition of studies and the credits earned during student’s mobility. Transcript of Records contains: student details, the list of passed exams, grades obtained, ECTS credits achieved per subject, duration of the study program and other relevant information, and an explanation on the method of assessment and scoring (national grading system).

GROUND RULES OF RECOGNITION

  1. If the passed course is related and has similar learning outcomes as the course of the Home institution, learning outcomes, obtained ECTS credits and achieved grades are recognized.
  2. If the contents of the course deviate significantly from the learning outcome of the study program of the Home institution, the achieved ECTS credits are not counted in the total number of ECTS credits envisaged by the scope of studies, but the subject is specifically recorded in the diploma supplement.

RECOGNITION AND CONVERSION OF GRADES

The grading scale at the Department in Kragujevac fully corresponds to the ECTS grading system. Student’s achievement is continuously assessed and it is expressed in points. By fulfilling the exam preceding duties and passing exams, student can achieve maximum of 100 points. Student’s success is assessed by grades from 5 (failed) to 10 (outstanding).

If the grading system at the Department in Kragujevac and the Host institution are not identical, the grades shall be converted into the grades of the Academy in conformity with the ECTS Users' Guide and according to the following comparative table:

Grade Classification Points ECTS grade Percentage
10 Outstanding 91-100 A 10%
9 Excellent 81-90 B 25%
