Academic recognition decision
Lithuanian Sports University assesses a foreign qualification as part of the admission procedure. The academic recognition decision is made within one month from the date on which all required documents have been submitted.
If additional information is required, the assessment period may be extended, but for no longer than three months. The applicant will be informed of the decision through the LSU online application system.
Academic recognition of a qualification does not in itself guarantee admission to Lithuanian Sports University. The applicant must also meet the admission requirements of the chosen study programme.
Appeals
An applicant who disagrees with the academic recognition decision made by Lithuanian Sports University may:
- submit a reasoned appeal to the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education (SKVC) within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the decision; or
- lodge an appeal with the Regional Administrative Court within one month from the date of receipt of the decision.
An appeal submitted to SKVC must be addressed to the Appeal Commission established by SKVC. It must identify the contested decision, state the reasons for the appeal and include supporting evidence. A copy of the contested academic recognition decision must be attached.
Detailed requirements and up-to-date information on the appeal procedure are available on the SKVC website.
The procedure is established by paragraph 46 of the Description of the Procedure for Academic Recognition of Education and Qualifications Acquired under Educational Programmes of Foreign States and International Organisations.
