How to make a credit transfer
To be able to apply for a credit transfer you must be admitted to and conduct studies at Stockholm University. A credit transfer can have consequences for your continued studies and for the right to study funds. A credit transfer is also not graded. Therefore, it is important that you think through the purpose of the credit transfer before you apply. Previous studies from a Swedish university do not always need to be credited. If, on the other hand, you have a foreign university education or education other than a university education, you always need to apply for a credut transfer.
For courses which are not taken within the ECTS grading system, you will need to attach an official explenation of the grading scale compared to the ECTS grading system.
If you want transfer credits in statistics courser, you must first contact the department's study advisor for a consultation about what possibilities for credit transfer you have, studievagledare@stat.su.se
The reception- and telephone hours are cancelled until further notice. You can book a time with the student counselor by e-mailing. Please e-mail us to book a zoom-meeting. We will not have telephone hours during the spring semester 2021.
