 Observations

  • The faculty/school must evaluate the experience accredited by the student and, if accepted, it will be recognized as forming part of the External Practicals subject.

  • The faculty/school will only recognize the experience as forming part of a different subject in specific cases.

  • The grade originally awarded for these credits is not recorded by the URV when it recognizes the credits and is therefore also excluded when calculating the overall grade of the academic transcript.
