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.
Chapter IV CURRICULA
Art. 24
The contents of the bachelor program are defined in the
curricula, upon the departments’ proposal, analyzed by the Faculty
Boards, for a full cycle of studies, endorsed by the Senate/Board of
Administration and approved by the University’s Senate according to
the law.
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.
(2) The teaching activity for the electives is organized only if
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

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

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.
