Procedure for requesting recognition of credits for Continuing Education

Credits passed in any non-official university education referring to article 7 of Organic Law 2/2023, of March 22, of the University System, of a Spanish university may be recognized in the same terms expressed in section 3.3.1 of the UMH Regulations on Recognition and Transfer of Credits in Official Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees.

The number of credits recognized based on professional or work experience and non-official university studies may not exceed 15 percent of the total credits in the study plan. Recognition of these credits will not include a grade and therefore will not be included in the academic record calculation.
