Student requests

For the recognition of diplomas and partial studies, the recognition of the elite athlete status, the recognition of previously completed studies or for exceptions to regulations or curricula, requests can be submitted to the Commission for students' requests. The commission examines the requests and issues a recommendation for the decision to the Faculty council.

  • Procedure

    The Commission for students' requests handles the cases of people who are registered or who have requested registration at the University of Fribourg.

    An request file must contain all official information that may help to resolve the request, but mainly:

    • your registration number (SIUS number, for students registered in Switzerland), first and last name;
    • a dated and signed letter explaining the object of the request;
    • a resume is recommended;

    and

    • official proof of the credits that have been obtained with the signature and the official stamp of the issuing institution (except if the credits were acquired at the Faculty of science and medicine);

    or

    • documents attesting to high-level sporting activity.

    In case you request the recognition of previous studies, you must enclose information relating to the completed program (course descriptions, number of hours, credits,...)

    Requests are processed according to the schedule below.
