The outgoing student is entitled to receive a recognition of the mobility period from Academy Sumadija. Recognition of the mobility period is realized in accordance with the principle of flexibility. The Department in Kragujevac evaluates results that the outgoing student has achieved during the mobility period based on the similarity in the learning outcome rather than the difference between the study programs being compared, whereby the knowledge that the outgoing student has gained from a certain field does not have to be identical, but similar i.e. related to the knowledge that he/she would acquire from a particular subject at the Home institution.
As a rule, the Academy Sumadija fully acknowledges the courses that an outgoing student has passed at the Host institution based on the Learning Agreement and the Transcript of Records, without implementing a special recognition procedure prescribed by the Law on Higher Education on the recognition of a foreign higher education diploma for the purpose of continuing education.
By signing the Learning Agreement, the Academy Sumadija allows the student to participate in mobility, to attend activities during the period of mobility and guarantees recognition of ECTS credits and achieved grades. The Learning Agreement is drawn up in English and signed by three parties: the student, the Home institution and the Host institution.
The Transcript of Records is confirmation closely linked with the Learning Agreement, representing the recognition of studies and the credits earned during student’s mobility. Transcript of Records contains: student details, the list of passed exams, grades obtained, ECTS credits achieved per subject, duration of the study program and other relevant information, and an explanation on the method of assessment and scoring (national grading system).
The grading scale at the Academy Sumadija fully corresponds to the ECTS grading system. Student’s achievement is continuously assessed and it is expressed in points. By fulfilling the exam preceding duties and passing exams, student can achieve maximum of 100 points. Student’s success is assessed by grades from 5 (failed) to 10 (outstanding).
If the grading system at the Academy Sumadija and the Host institution are not identical, the grades shall be converted into the grades of the Academy in conformity with the ECTS Users' Guide and according to the following comparative table:
Grade | Classification | Points | ECTS grade | Percentage |
---|---|---|---|---|
10 | Outstanding | 91-100 | A | 10% |
9 | Excellent | 81-90 | B | 25% |
8 | Very good | 71-80 | C | 30% |
7 | Good | 61-70 | D | 25% |
6 | Sufficient | 51-61 | E | 10% |
5 | Insufficient – failed | ≤50 | F |
Upon return to the Academy Sumadija, the outgoing student is obliged to submit in due time a Learning Agreement, Transcript of Records and the Grading System document of the Host institution to the competent Student Mobility Coordinators for the purpose of recognizing mobility.
Student Mobility Coordinators are obliged to evaluate the results achieved by the student during mobility and to prepare a proposal of Decision on the recognition of mobility period and submit it to the Academy Sumadija Director at least 7 days prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student continues the program at his/her Home institution.
The above mentioned mobility documents are to be submitted to the Student Affairs Office of the Academy Sumadija for the purpose of entering data in the student's register, no later than 3 days before the beginning of the semester in which the outgoing student resumes studies at the Home institution, as well as for the purpose of entering the said data in the Diploma Supplement.
Diploma Supplement is issued free of charge, together with diploma.
