(transfer of students from other universities, transfer within the university and transfer from course to course)

15.1 The main condition for the transfer of students from other universities to CPU is their ability to continue their studies at this higher educational institution.

15.2 Transfer of students and Master’s program students to CPU to the appropriate forms of study and specialties is made from other universities possessing licenses for educational activities and applications in the areas of preparation (for the correspondence form of study, the application for transfer is accepted within one month, but not later than two weeks before the start of the next examination session). It is done during the holidays. Students who study on a state educational grant, as well as students with academic performance for the entire period of study - GPA of at least 2.33 - have the priority right for transfer. At the same time, the student should have a positive performance, as well as an UNT certificate (CT) of at least 50 points for graduates of secondary education and at least 25 points for graduates of secondary education.
15.3 The transfer of the student from one specialty to another, from one form of training to another within the university is carried out only for tuition on a paid basis. At the same time, the student can be transferred or re-admitted to any specialty, regardless of the terms of expulsion.
15.4 When transferring or re-admitting students, the academic difference in the disciplines of the educational program studied for previous academic periods is determined. The academic difference in the disciplines of the working curricula is determined by the university on the basis of the list of studied disciplines, their programs and the amounts in academic hours or credits reflected in the transcript, or a certificate issued to persons who have not completed their education (hereinafter - a certificate).
15.5 The transfer of the student from another university and re-admittance is carried out on the corresponding course, provided that the required number of credits coincides after eliminating the difference in the curricula. The transfer and restoration of the student is carried out to the appropriate course. At the same time, the difference in modular curricula should not exceed 25 credits for a bachelor's program. If the academic difference in academic disciplines exceeds the total amount of 25 credits, the transfer and restoration is carried out one course lower.
Otherwise, the transfer and re-admittance is carried out to the course below. The training course is determined taking into account prerequisites. As for the transferring of Master’s and PhD program students to transfer elective disciplines studied at another university, their compliance with the content of training according to the educational program of the CPU should be established. Otherwise, the difference in the curricula is drawn up, subject to liquidation in the proper order. The mandatory requirement for transfer and re-admittance is the completion of the first academic period of the mastered program according to the individual curriculum.
