Accreditation is a curricular act that presupposes enrollment, registration in at least one CU and the payment of tuition fees.

The ECTS obtained by accreditation are valid only in the cycle of studies in which the student is enrolled and registered, and in the case of cancellation of enrollment or change of study cycle, the obtained accreditation is invalidated.

Academic accreditation can be given based on the following training within the Higher Education System (HIS), taking into account the credit limits stipulated in the Regulation on Academic Accreditation and Professional Experience  :
