Student requests

Coronavirus

The Students' Requests commission meets on the scheduled dates (remotely).

Send request files by email to scimed@unifr.ch with ComReq in the subject line.

For the recognition of diplomas and partial studies, the recognition of previously completed studies or for exceptions to regulations or curricula, requests can be submitted to the Commission for students' requests. This commission examines the requests and issues a recommendation to the Faculty council.

The commission meets every six weeks during the semester and regularly between semesters.

  • Procedure

    The Commission for students' requests handles the cases of people who are registered or who have requested registration at the University of Fribourg.

    A request file must contain:

    • your registration number (SIUS number, for students registered in Switzerland), first and last name;
    • a dated and signed letter explaining the object of the request;
    • official proof of the credits that have been obtained with the signature and the official stamp of the issuing institution (except if the credits were acquired at the Faculty of science and medicine);
    • any other official file that may help with handling the request;
    • a resume is recommended.

    In case you request the recognition of previous studies, you must enclose information relating to the completed program (course descriptions, number of hours, credits,...)

    Any request must arrive by two weeks before the commission meeting. If this deadline is passed, the request will be considered at the following commission meeting.
