In the following video (Spanish version), you can see a summary of the procedure for requesting recognition of undergraduate study credits:

Recognition is understood as the acceptance by a university of credits which, having been obtained in official studies, in the same or another university, are counted in other different studies for the purpose of obtaining an official degree. 

In order for credits earned in any subject or course of official university studies, whether Spanish or foreign, to be recognized, the following points must be taken into account:

•  There must be an alignment between the competencies, knowledge, content and credits associated with the subjects or courses of origin and those included in the destination subjects or courses, or those that are transversal in nature.
• For the purposes indicated in the previous section, the equivalence that must be given in order to carry out the recognition of corresponding credits will be at least 75%.

 In any case, credits corresponding to the final degree projects (TFG) may not be recognized.

You can consult the historical record of credit recognition for subjects from previous academic years (Spanish), which is non-binding for the university, it only has informative effects for the students.

This exemption shall apply to a single change of degree and in one direction only; it shall not be applicable should the taxpayer return to the degree program in which they were initially enrolled.

Is it necessary to enroll in the subjects which I am requesting recognition?

If you have completed basic training subjects in another Bachelor’s degree within the same field of study, and they are not recognized in your current degree program because they do not meet the 75% requirement for recognition, you can submit them for elective credit.
