Special Credit Recognition for Older Degree Programs
Special Credit Recognition for Older Degree Programs
For students who have transferred from the Computer Engineering (110), Technical Engineering in Management Information Systems (111), and Technical Engineering in Computer Systems (112) programs
Resolution adopted by the Academic Committee (CAT) of the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering at its meeting held on December 10, 2013, under item 5 of the agenda, in which the proposal for Extraordinary Credit Recognition in the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering (156) was approved for students transferring from the following programs: Computer Engineer (110), Technical Engineer in Management Informatics (111), and Technical Engineer in Systems Informatics (112), with the text as follows:
“For students who, after transferring to the Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering, find that the number of credits transferred is less than the number they had earned in their original degree program, it is proposed that credits be recognized on an exceptional basis under the ‘Complementary Training’ category, up to a maximum of 27 ECTS, for the following reasons:
- Courses recognized in a major other than the one the student is pursuing.
- Required, elective, and free-choice courses completed as part of the original degree program that are not recognized in the equivalency tables.
- Recognition of internships completed as part of the original degree program (maximum 18 ECTS).
- Recognition of LE activities included in the current list of university activities recognized for bachelor’s degrees (maximum 6 ECTS): student representation, the PATU program, and the MENTOR program. Each activity will be recognized with the credits established in the current catalog of university activities for bachelor’s degree programs.
- Only credits earned under the 2001 Curriculum will be recognized.
The credit equivalence will be 1 LRU credit = 1 ECTS credit “
