Applying the recognition of learning is recommendable to be done as soon as possible when student starts their studies or as soon as the recognizable studies have been performed or other knowledge and skills have been gained. The prior learning to be recognized must comply with the learning objectives of the degree curriculum or one of its modules or courses. Recognition of learning might require supplementing ones knowledge or skills.
Students cannot apply for accreditation of courses that they have already completed. The grade of the accredited course can be raised by repeating the whole course.
