According to Clause 31 of the Standard Rules for the Activities of Higher and/or Postgraduate Education Organizations:
The transfer and reinstatement of students from one higher education institution (HEI) to another shall take place during the summer and winter breaks.
When a student transfers, the receiving HEI shall take into account the field of study, the profile of the educational program, the student’s academic achievements, and any instances of academic dishonesty.
A student may transfer to or be reinstated at an HEI following their dismissal, provided they have fully completed the first academic period of their program in accordance with their individual study plan (i.e., the first semester of the first year).
According to the Academic Policy of the Caspian Public University:
Clause 16.7. In the event of a student’s transfer or reinstatement, an “academic discrepancy” (the difference in curricula) shall be determined by comparing the courses previously studied—including those from formal and non-formal education—based on the list of completed subjects and their respective volumes (measured in academic hours or credits).
Clause 16.9. The year of study upon transfer or reinstatement shall be determined based on this academic discrepancy. The academic discrepancy must not exceed 25 credits for undergraduate (bachelor’s) programs, or 15 credits for master’s and doctoral programs. If the academic discrepancy exceeds these established credit limits, the student shall be enrolled in the year of study below the one they were previously in.
