You should take care of registering the credits you have earned abroad as soon as possible after returning.
This process takes two forms:
1. Courses forming part of your degree and corresponding to those in the University of Lapland curriculum are replaced by corresponding course completed elsewhere. The decision on equivalence is made by the teacher responsible for the subject.
2. Studies completed at a foreign university (a minor or electives) may be included in your degree. The decision on inclusion is made by the Advisor in the Internationalisation services, Head of Academic Affairs or teacher at the Language Centre. Notice, that you should still deliver all the forms to the advisor at the internationalisation services for processing.
General guidelines:
• Fill in the form/forms carefully
• Fill in a separate form/forms for each person who will decide on course equivalence. Deliver all the forms to the advisor in the international office.
• Attach a copy of your transcript and course description to each form.
• If the host university did not use ECTS credits (universities outside of Europe), please inform those receiving your application for inclusion how to convert the host university’s credits to ECTS credits. Ask the Advisor in the Internationalisation services for details if necessary. One credit at the University of Lapland equals one ECTS credit.
