Description
The Evaluator assesses the existence of substantial differences within fifteen (15) days and submits to the President a written recommendation for the academic equivalence of the title or the submission of the applicant, with a reasoned decision, to specific compensatory measures. Compensatory measures include a written test or a traineeship or a dissertation or a combination thereof.
Notes
1. If no proposal is submitted by the Evaluator within this deadline, the President assigns the file to another evaluator and the step is repeated. If during the process of assigning the file to Evaluators at least one (1) proposal is not submitted to the President, the Head of the Academic Recognition Division submits a written proposal to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors takes a decision on the academic recognition of the title or the submission of the applicant to specific compensatory measures. 2. The evaluator may decide, and recommend in this regard, the non-recognition of academic equivalence due to the lack of relevance of the curriculum of the degree in question with a program of study in Greece.
