New Students Registration – Computer Engineering & Informatics Department

Student Status

The student status is acquired upon enrollment in the Department of Computer and Information Engineering and is maintained until the receipt of the diploma. It is possible to suspend enrollment with a request from the interested party to the Department and after approval by the General Assembly of the Department. During the suspension of enrollment, the student status is revoked, and all related student rights are suspended. The student status is reinstated upon a new request from the interested party.

Issuing Certificates

Upon a relevant request, the Department’s Secretariat issues the following certificates:

Certificate of Enrollment, which certifies that the individual is an active student.
Certificate of Studies, for tax purposes.
Certificate of Detailed Academic Transcript, which includes the student’s academic performance in the courses taken.
Certificate of Completion of Studies, for those individuals who have fulfilled the requirements of the Study Program but have not yet been awarded a diploma.
Certificate for the Student Club. Certificate for foreign authorities.

Academic ID

Since the academic year 2012-2013, the Ministry of Education, Religion, Culture, and Sports has been developing a central information system for issuing a new academic identity for students. The academic identity incorporates the Student Ticket, which is abolished as a separate document. For more information, you can visit the following websites: http://www.upatras.gr/el/node/1227 and http://academicid.minedu.gov.gr.

Recognition of courses

Recognition of courses is possible for students transferring to the Department of Computer and Information Engineering from other universities. In order for these courses to be considered equivalent to corresponding courses in the Department, the student must have successfully completed the desired courses.

The responsible instructor verifies the equivalence of the syllabus of the course under recognition with the syllabus of the corresponding course in the Department of Computer and Information Engineering.

If equivalence is established, the course is recognized and credited with the teaching units of the equivalent course. If the course is from a domestic university, the grade obtained by the student from the other university is retained. If the course is from a foreign university, the grade is converted according to the grading scale used by Greek universities.

In cases where there is no full equivalence of the courses, the responsible instructor, in collaboration with the student, determines the method by which the course can be recognized. Lastly, the instructor may propose the non-recognition of the course if they deem the equivalence to be limited.
