Registration and transcripts
Students coming on exchange must verify with
their home institution how many credits they
are expected to receive whilst on exchange
and that modules they choose are
transferable to their degree course.
The European Credit Transfer System
(ECTS) was developed to
provide common procedures to guarantee
academic recognition of studies abroad. It
provides a way of measuring and comparing
academic merits, and transferring them from
one institution to another. Your
ECTS Learning Agreement is the contract
between you, your home institution and the
University of Huelva about what you can
study while on exchange. Non European
exchange students will need to check with
their home institution to find out how these
credits will transfer to their home degree.
All
University of Huelva credits are yet to be
fully adapted to ECTS but we recommend a 1:1
equivalency. You should check that you
don’t enrol for subjects that run on an
annual basis if you are staying for one
semester only.
Once Learning Agreements have been finalised
and modifications made, students must
formalise their enrolment at the
International Office and fill in the “Hoja
de Matrícula” (Subject Registration Sheet)
which must be approved by your home
institution. The deadline for this is 15th
November for all first semester and annual
subjects and 15th March for the 2nd
semester subjects. Subjects that are only
available for the 2nd semester
should be entered on a separate “Hoja de
Matricula”. Changes cannot be made after
these dates so it is important to make any
modifications to the Learning Agreement
prior to this. You will be given an
appointment for registration at the
International Office during orientation
where you should go with a copy of your
passport or identity Card, evidence of
health insurance or European health card,
your finalised Learning Agreement and the
completed “Hoja
de Matricula” which can both be signed
and stamped by staff at the International
office.
