Instruction of the Dean of Graduate Studies on the rules for recognising courses completed during previous studies as credited

Pursuant to § 12 point 7 and § 37 point 1 of the Rules and Regulations of first and second cycle study programmes and long cycle study programme at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, the Dean, at the student’s request, may consider courses completed at other universities or during the previous course of studies at SGH as credited.
Only courses completed in second cycle study (master’s degree) or long-cycle studies can be considered for recognition and credited.
Only courses that have been completed no later than five years from the date of submitting the application can be considered to be recognised.
The application for recognition of the course as passed should be submitted no later than on the fourteenth day from the beginning of the semester in which the course was declared at SGH. For first-semester students, it is possible to apply for recognition for the completed course without having to declare it in advance.

The decision to recognise a course completed outside SGH as passed is made by the Dean based on the opinion expressed by the Chairman of the Programme Council of the Field of Study or the course coordinator.
Transferring credits for foreign languages requires an opinion from the Foreign Language Learning Centre.
The application for recognition of a course completed outside SGH should be accompanied by the following:
1. syllabus of the course certified by the university where the course was taught (documents drawn up in a language other than Polish or English should be provided with a sworn translation into Polish),
2. indication of the period in which the subject was carried out,
3. proof of obtaining a credit or passing an exam certified by the university, together with the grade obtained.

The instruction comes into force on 30 January 2025.

The basic tool for using library collections is an electronic catalog. The system works similarly to an Internet search engine. The collections can be searched in various ways: by the author’s name, title, subject entry, etc., moreover, by logging in to your own account, you can learn about the current status and history of your loans.
Using the resources of the SGH Library

The library collections can be used:

on site (from the collections in the main warehouse or from the reference collection);
in the General Reading Room, Periodicals Reading Room or Scientific Information Department;
borrowing books home: from the Lending Library’s collection.

General Reading Room
The General Reading Room is located on the second floor of the Library. Here, on the basis of order slips, orders for books and older magazines in the main warehouse are processed. Particularly popular items, the latest books, readings, in the number of about 20 thousand, are in the Reading Room on site, in free access. This is the so-called reference collection. Some books from the reference collection can be borrowed at home for the night, as part of the so-called night loans, but you have to pay close attention to the time of their return – 10 a.m., because for each subsequent exceeded hour a fee of PLN 5 is charged.
Periodicals Reading Room
On the second floor there is also the Periodicals Reading Room. Its book collection consists of about 1000 titles of Polish and foreign periodicals. In open access, the Reading Room offers both Polish and foreign titles for the last 5 years. Magazines can only be used on site.
SGH Library Lending Desk
On the ground floor of the library building there is the SGH Library Lending Department. The books in her collection are borrowed home. A maximum of 5 volumes can be borrowed for a period of 60 days. Before borrowing a book, each student is obliged to check its availability in the on-line catalogue and search for the call number. The Lending Library’s signatures are marked with the letter “W” and have the status “being loaned”.
Fees for exceeding the deadline for returning a book are high – the library system charges a fee for late return in the amount of PLN 1 for each day of delay for each volume.
In the on-line catalogue you can:

reserve books – this applies to titles whose all copies are currently borrowed,
extend the deadline for returning the book,
access selected items within IBUK Libra on-line.

Scientific Information Division (OIN)
On the ground floor of the Library, in room 10, there is the Scientific Information Department (OIN), where you can get support in searching for the necessary materials. OIN employees can help you find publications on a given topic, available both in paper and electronic form. In the Information Department, you can also learn the rules of using a wide range of electronic collections, which can be available to SGH students even without leaving home.
