Recognition of Previous External Education (Credit Transfer)
This page provides you, as an academic or administrative staff member, an overview of the process for recognising previous external education (credit transfer) at KHiO.
What does recognition/credit transfer mean?
Recognition means that education from another institution can be approved as part of the student’s degree at KHiO, provided it meets the requirements for level, scope, and learning outcomes.
Your role as an academic staff member
- You must not process applications or assess documentation.
- You must never confirm that the education can be approved.
- Always refer the student to the Study Administration for any questios about recognition.
You may inform the student that:
- The application is processed by the Study Administration and the Dean.
- Documentation must be submitted within the deadline.
- At least 60 ECTS credits must be completed at KHiO to obtain a degree.
How to guide the student?
If a student asks about recognition:
- Confirm that it is possible to apply for credit transfer.
- Refer them to KHiO's website for details about the application process.
- Provide the contact point: Study Adviser in their department.
- Do not give academic assessments, these are made by the Dean or academic committee.
Brief overview of the process (for your information)
- The student applies via the online form within the deadline (1 December / 1 February).
- The Study Administration checks documentation.
- The dean/academic committee assesses the academic content.
- The decision is sent to the student with the right to appeal.
Note: This assessment is not part of the regular admissions process but is a separate application once study rights have been established.
