As a rule, the original certificate or score report must be attached.

(3)Students who obtain the required level or score after admission and wish to receive credit recognition must submit the Application Form for Credit Recognition through Foreign Language Proficiency Tests to their affiliated Faculty during each course registration period. As a rule, the original certificate or score report must be attached.
