If you automatically have credits transferred from previous studies to your ITU programme before study start, these credits will count as part of the fulfillment of the progression requirement.

However, if you apply for a credit transfer during your studies, these credits will not count as part of the fulfillment of the progression requirement.
If ITU is not able to offer a coherent study plan with 30 ECTS each semester, you can apply for an exemption from the progression requirement. 

If you do not meet the progression requirements, Student Affairs and Programmes will email you, and give you the opportunity to apply for an exemption from the rule.

The exemption will be given if there are special circumstances in your case.

If you are not granted an exemption, your enrollment will be cancelled.
