Recognition of previously earned credits

The credit recognition application is available to students enrolled and not enrolled in Degree Programmes at the University of Padua or other universities, both for open-access Degree Programmes and for restricted-access Degree Programmes. For clarification on the recognition of studies completed abroad (e.g. required documentation and translations), please consult the specific document at the bottom of this section.

The procedure is available from 15:00 on 18 June until 13:00 on 14 July 2026. 

Please note: the procedure will be off-line from 16:00 to 21:00 on Monday 13 July due to extraordinary maintenance of the payment system.

The application must be submitted online on the page www.uniweb.unipd.it/valutazioneonline. Access to the portal is through the same credentials used for Uniweb: anyone who does not have them can follow the registration procedure.

The application must be submitted by following the instructions available within the portal, uploading the required documents, entering the exams/activities for which recognition is requested (including exams not yet taken/recorded that are expected to be taken by the end of September 2026), and paying a fee of €40 for each application submitted. No refunds are provided for this amount, even if no activity or exam is recognised.
Please note that, based on the Student Careers Regulations, it is not possible to withdraw recognised credits 10 days after the publication of the recognition decision.
Please also note that for restricted-access Degree Programmes, once the decision has been issued, it is not possible to withdraw the validated credits that contributed to reaching the eligibility thresholds for admission to years following the 1st.

From 17 July, the appointed Committee checks the activities entered in the application and prepares a decision containing the list of validated exams/activities (fully or partially), the proposed year of admission, and an indication of whether it is necessary to take the admission test in order to access the Degree Programme.
The decisions can be viewed within the portal; when yours is available, you will receive an email notification.

Please note: the credit recognition application does not replace the request for enrolment, course change or incoming transfer and does not guarantee admission to the Degree Programme. The admission notices or calls for applications indicate the terms, procedures and deadlines for access to Degree Programmes for those requesting credit recognition.
For Degree Programmes in Medicina e chirurgia, Odontoiatria e protesi dentaria, Medicine and Surgery and Medicina veterinaria, a dedicated call for applications is also issued for admission to years following the first, and this is also available on the relevant admission call page.

Those requesting additional validations for the Degree Programme in which they are already enrolled do not need to follow any further procedures once they have received the decision.

Recognised activities and exams are entered into the student record by the first available exam session for the academic year 2026/27, without the need to submit any further applications.

The office responsible for credit recognition is the Degree Programme back office. It can be contacted for:

• assistance in submitting the credit recognition application;

The procedure is also valid for those using a foreign qualification for admission to the programme. For clarification on the recognition of studies completed abroad (e.g. required documentation and translations), please consult the specific document at the bottom of the section.
