Information regarding academic credit transfer for JKU students taking examinations abroad as part of an exchange program is available here. If you were not part of a JKU exchange program and would like to apply for academic credit transfer for examinations taken abroad, you must apply for credit transfer under Credit Transfer - Austria.

Confirming credit transfer BEFORE taking examinations as part of a study abroad program - the so-called "advance notice" - is an essential part of making prior arrangements before starting an exchange program (as well as the study abroad grant).
