Please indicate in your application if your college or university has adopted ECTS for your academic records.

In your Personal Statement, please tell us if all your subjects or only some will be listed with ECTS.

  • If you state that only some of your subjects will be listed with ECTS, then you will also need to tell us which subjects are affected. You may write “(ECTS)” next to each subject affected in the Transfer Self-Reported Academic Record. Then do not write anything next to subjects which will not be listed with ECTS.
  • If your school will be listing both ECTS and their own traditional “credits”, “units”, “hours”, or “coefficients” for each subject, then please list both in the application. Include this information in the Transfer Self-Reported Academic Record if possible. For example, you may write "Math (6 ECTS)." If there is not enough space, include this information in your Personal Statement.
