Please forward the completed form to the following members of staff for recognition:

For transfer towards the elective in the B.A., please contact any of the above mentioned or the academic program coordinator.

For any other transfer, please contact the Head of Department (via the academic program coordinator).

Please bring the signed form to your program’s exam office. Your credit points will then be transferred into FlexNow.
