Christmas and Easter holidays and other legal holidays.

CHAPTER III CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM

Art. 11

The Romanian-American University applies the European Credit

Transfer System (ECTS), in compliance with the legal provisions in

force, in order to promote the transfer of study credits between the

University schools/ majors, as well as between the Romanian-

American University and other higher education institutions in

Romania and abroad, accredited or authorized to operate temporarily.

Art. 12

The European Credit Transfer System is applied both in keeping

track of the professional accomplishments of the undergraduates

enrolled in all forms of studies, as well as for the acknowledgement of

the results acquired in other national and foreign universities or in

other schools within the University.

6

Art. 13

The credit or number of credit points represents a score

associated with each subject (compulsory, elective, optional)

proportional to the workload needed by the student to pass an

examination, including both regular activities (courses, seminar,

laboratories, etc), but also self-study (essays, projects, papers, etc). In

order to assess the number of credit points for each subject, it will be

considered the fact that 1 ECTS = 25-30 hours (workload).

Art. 14

Credit points are granted in compliance with the international

academic practice and the methodology of the European Credit

Transfer System, according to which 60 ECTS credit points represent

the equivalent of the average workload corresponding to an academic

year, and 30 ECTS credit points represent a semester of study in the

higher education system.

Art. 15

Students can be awarded a number of credit points larger than

the one allocated to a specific major, in accordance with the curricula

approved by the Senate, if they attend and pass the electives included

in the curriculum of each semester/ year of studies, or through the

recognition of the ECTS credit points accumulated during a mobility

program. Each subject can have a different number of credit points in

the curricula structure of the different schools/ majors organized by a

university, to the extent to which, the respective subject is part of the

major or minor track.

Art. 16

7

Credit points are expressed as strictly positive integers. During

the preparation of an assessment, no partial credit points may be

granted for its components.

Art. 17

The number of credits accumulated by a student for achieving

certain learning outcomes of the compulsory and elective subjects,

included in the curricula, is a mandatory condition for passing to the

subsequent year of studies or respectively for awarding the graduate

title.

Art. 18

Credit points are called transferable if an institution certifies that

certain learning outcomes have been achieved and assessed

previously in the University, or any other higher education institution

from the country or abroad, according to law.

Art. 19

The credit point is the unit for the acknowledgement of

curriculum subjects. A subject can be acknowledged through the

analysis of the content of the syllabus, learning outcomes and a

comparison of the credit points awarded (demonstrated with the

official transcripts) by the institution acknowledging them. Credit

points awarded in one program may be fully or partially transferred.

Art. 20

(1) Credits can be transferred to the Romanian-American

University from other higher education institutions in Romania or

8

abroad, accredited or authorized to operate temporarily, under the

law.

(2) The acknowledgement of the credit points can be

made in one of the following cases:

The transfer of the undergraduate between the different schools

of the Romanian-American University, between different majors

of the same school, between the different programs (full time/

part time studies), on the curricular subjects, approved by the

university Senate;

Temporary and permanent internal mobilities, as well as

temporary international mobilities;

Registration in a subsequent year, on the condition that the

preliminary examination was passed (e.g. further studies on a

second major);

Registration on the first year, on a different major from the

previously graduated;

Reenrollment, registration after a suspension of studies and

supplementary year registration;

(3) If the number of credit points obtained initially

according to the ECTS (or compatible) is lower than the one stipulated

in the curriculum of the acknowledging school, the course holder

indicates additional chapters to be learnt, for the respective subject,

according to the syllabus for which further assessments will be

performed.

(4) If the number of credits points exceeds the one

stipulated in the curriculum of the school, the surplus is registered

9

over the number of graduation credits and is not acknowledged with

the credit points of other subjects.

Art. 21

(1) Credit acknowledgement and establishment of

further assessments are the responsibility of the head of

department, after consulting the course holder. The head of

department is responsible for the acknowledgement or

establishment of further assessments.

(2) In the case of a subject, which according to the

school situation is assessed with the admitted mark, the

acknowledged grade will be 5 (five).

(3) The grades for the acknowledgement are

registered in the transcript by the head of department.

(4) The grades obtained by undergraduates for

further assessments are registered by the course holder.

(5) The transcript specification of the marks made

by the head of department, under signature, is the only

exception to the rule of which stipulates that the course holder

has to sign the transcript.

Art. 22

(1) Credit transfer is compulsory in case of

international mobilities for which there are prior contracts

of acceptance between the undergraduate and the said

school. Maximum 90 credits can be acknowledged for

bachelor studies in the “Economic sciences” major and

maximum 120 credits for the “Legal sciences” major, for

the entire period of studies.

10

(2) The acknowledgement of credit points

obtained by the undergraduate who benefited from such

mobilities is carried out by the school management, after

analyzing the subjects studied at the host university, based

on documents submitted by the International Relations

Department.

(3) The detailed procedure is stipulated in the

“Regulations for Community Program Mobilities” approved

by the University Senate under the law.

Art. 23

The assessment results and implicitly the credit points for the

respective disciplines cannot be acknowledged between

undergraduate program cycles.

Art. 25

(1) The curricula include fundamental disciplines, electives, in

the field of study and minor disciplines, classified as compulsory,

optional and elective disciplines.

11

(2) The disciplines from the curricula follow a logical

succession. A discipline is taught for a semester only and is completed

with an evaluation.

(3) The average load ratio is 20-28 hours/week.

Art. 26

(1) The major path consists of the compulsory disciplines from

the curricula, which usually grant students the knowledge and abilities

specific for the chosen major.

(2) The minor path is made up of the elective courses chosen,

usually among the subjects included in the curricula of other majors

organized by the University.

(3) The minor offers students knowledge, skills and

qualification usually specific to a different field of studies, but where

students are enrolled.

(4) The activity for the optional courses is usually organized for

series with the minimum number of students approved by the

University Senate. In case the university cannot organize series and

groups for the optional course, the students can organize the schedule

individually, at the faculty organizing the optional course.

Art. 27

(1) The elective courses, irrespective of the moment when the

curriculum provides their teaching, are completed with “test of skills”

and the credits corresponding to them are over the 30 ones

corresponding to the respective semester.

the minimum number of students enrolled ensures the financial

sustainability for the respective activity.

12

Art. 28

The faculty boards may decide upon conditions/ prerequisites for

the disciplines, which compel the students to pass one or several

exams in a previous year/semester to be able to promote other

disciplines in an additional year/semester. Failure to meet the

prerequisites is limited to the participation in the performance

assessment and not to the training program.

Art. 29

(1) The specialized internship is a compulsory discipline,

covering a period of 3 weeks/ minimum 84 hours and is organized in a

compact period, at the end of the second semester, of the second year

of studies, for majors in the fundamental field “Economic sciences”

solid grounds, the President, the Vice presidents responsible for

education, quality management, the Faculty Dean and the Chief of the

13

specialized department have access in the classrooms where teaching

activities are carried out (course, seminar, laboratory, etc.).

(3) In the context of the teaching activity, the course holders

should always consider the correlation between the curriculum and

the syllabus, approved by the specialized department. During the first

student only in the presence of the teaching staff (course holder

and the person designated to participate in the assessment).

Assessment is carried out only by the course tutor. The second

colleague present for the assessment does not have any grading

rights.

Upon entering the examination room, the student picks a note and

receives a sheet stamped “examination”, upon which s/he

34

formulates his/her answers during the time interval while s/he is

waiting to be assessed.

The duration of a student’s oral exam will be maximum 10-15

minutes, and the course tutor has to apply the pedagogical

needs to be followed:

The course tutor present at the examination announces publicly, in

the examination room, that s/he interrupts the evaluation of the

35

said student, as well as the reason for acting this way, signs the

student’s paper or note in the case of oral exams and specifies

“mark 1 (one) – fraud”, after which s/he attaches the explanatory

document/evidence/witness statements and invites the student to

leave the room after s/he has signed the attendance list.

The student has to write down his/her name, first name, year of

study, group, date and name of the discipline on the sheet of paper

or on the note in case of oral exams. The student’s refusal to sign

the above-mentioned documents, as well as the attendance list,

represents a disciplinary breach and is sanctioned according to the

internal regulations, under the law.

After completing the scheduled examination, the course tutor has

to draft a report, which is to be submitted to the School Board, with

the proposal to expel the said student. The report will be

accompanied by the written paper and the explanatory

document/evidence/witness statements. The report will be

recorded in the school registry.

The course tutor writes mark 1 (one) in the catalog, also specifying

“fraud according to report no.______ of ______”, and signs. In the

electronic catalog the same mark will be registered.

The School Board will begin an investigation according to the legal

provisions in force. It is compulsory to analyze the case analysis in

the School Board, in the presence of a designated member of the

Ethics Committee, as well as to hear the student (except for when

s/he refuses it by failing to show up at the hearing or through

express specification of the refusal).

If, at the end of the investigation, it is noted that the student was

not guilty, the course tutor must modify the mark, specifying in the

holographic catalog “corrected according to the School Board

decision no. _________ of _____”. The corrected mark is operated

on the same day in the electronic catalog only with the approval of

36

the rector, upon the written request of the course tutor. The

decision of the School Board becomes an appendix to the

holographic catalog.

A student expelled for an attempt to pass an exam by fraud loses

the right to be reenrolled and/or to have his/her credits

acknowledged which would allow him/her to enroll in other study

programs.

Art. 63
