Official Academic Certificates

Attention! This procedure can only be requested by students who are studying an undergraduate program at IE University. Students who are part of the Visiting Student Program or Undergraduate Exchange Program cannot apply.
Simultaneous Studies
Simultaneous studies refer to when a student completes more than one undergraduate program at the same time at a Spanish university. Students may apply for simultaneous studies once they are enrolled at IE University, have passed their first year and have not yet graduated.
Students must request at the Registrar's Office a transfer of their Official Academic Certificate for simultaneity of studies. Once the student has submitted their request they will receive confirmation of their transfer, which will allow them to enroll at their university of choice once they have been admitted.

Transfer Request of Academic Records to another University
Students may request a transfer of their Official Academic Certification (OAC). This is an official document that is internally processed by Spanish universities and enables students to commence their studies at another Spanish university. The OAC details the student’s degree(s), subjects and qualification(s), how the student was admitted to the corresponding studies and qualification, the target university and the enrolled degree.
IE University students who have withdrawn from their studies or are in the process of doing so and have not yet received a degree may request an Academic records' transfer. Once you have submitted your request, you will receive confirmation of your file transfer in order to allow you to enroll at your university of choice.

Dispensations
A dispensation waiver exempts a student from taking a required test at an examination sitting for one or more subjects, without missing that/those entire examination sitting(s). An exemption may be granted when there are exceptional and justified circumstances that prevent the student from sitting the exam.
Dispensation waivers are processed at the student’s request, which must be submitted before the start of the exam period.
Students should contact the academic director of their program, who will grant or deny the dispensation after considering the student’s reasons for the exemption, as well as any supporting evidence provided.
Change of Undergraduate Program
Students may change their degree program and switch to the studies of their choice. To do so, students must send a request in writing to the academic director of the degree they are leaving as well as the academic director of the new degree, stating the qualifications they have obtained in the studies they have completed so far.
The request must be made by the end of the first academic semester or at the end of the academic year.
Attention! This procedure can only be requested by students who are studying an undergraduate program at IE University. Students who are part of the Visiting Student Program or Undergraduate Exchange Program cannot apply.
Credit Recognition
The recognition of credits is defined as the acceptance by IE University of credits that, having been obtained through official education (either at IE University or another institution), are counted towards other studies in order to obtain an official degree.
Credit recognition requests are processed when students submit them. The student must already be registered in the degree program for which they are requesting recognition.
- First year students who would like to transfer their credits must contact the Admissions Department.
- Applications for credit recognition of subjects studied on other IE University programs, previous university studies, or higher education courses must be sent to the Undergraduate Office, which will decide if the activity can be recognized.
