3. Maximum duration of studies

  • The period of suspension does not count towards the maximum duration of studies.

To verify grades or exam results at UT, you can follow the methods below:

1. Through the student's online platform
Logging into the system

  • Log in to the official e-Student website.
  • Click on the “Identification via e-Albania” button.
  • Enter your personal credentials (username and password) for your e-Albania account.
  • Click the "Login" button.
  • After successful identification, the system redirects you to the e-Student home page where you can also consult the grades for the exams you have taken.

2. Teaching Secretariat

If you are unsure or your grade does not appear online, you can request verification from the faculty secretary.

The student interested in changing the generalities must submit the documentation to the UT Rectorate and follow the procedure as follows:

  • Certificate issued within the last 3 (three) months by the student's respective Faculty.
  • Marriage certificate or other document certifying the data to be changed, issued within the last 3 (three) months.
  • Filling out a handwritten form for changing generalities at the Rectorate.
  • Payment of the administrative act fee of 400 lek (new) at Credins Bank (payment is collected at the Rectorate or online at the link: https://unitir.edu.al/mbi-proceduren-dhe-dokumentacionin-e-kerkuar-per-ndryshimin-e-gjeneraliteteve-ne-universitetin-e-tiranes/).
  • After submitting these documents to the UT Rectorate, the Rectorate forwards the necessary documentation for the change of generalities to the relevant Faculty. After 10 (ten) days from the submission of the documents to the Rectorate, the student must inquire with the Faculty whether the change of generalities has been completed.

The maximum duration of studies in a study program cannot be more than twice the normal duration of studies foreseen by the program, without taking into account the period of time when the student has suspended studies. A student who fails to complete his studies within the maximum duration of the program has the right to apply to resume his studies, in the same study program or in another program. He is subject to the criteria and procedures announced for enrollment in the study program of the host institution. Credits accumulated by the student during the previous period of studies may be transferred, by decision of the basic unit of the institution that accepts the student, according to the criteria set out in its regulations.

Deregistration is carried out by order of the head of the main unit, based on the student's request for deregistration, in the form of a declaration drawn up before a notary public, after the student has settled all financial obligations towards the main unit where he/she was registered.

The forms of study offered by the main units of the University of Tirana are:
o full-time studies;
o long-term studies;

The University of Tirana performs equivalence of parts or complete study programs obtained in other institutions of the country or of diplomas obtained in foreign institutions, according to the provisions of Law No. 80/2015 “On Higher Education and Scientific Research in Higher Education Institutions in the Republic of Albania”. The equivalence procedure is initiated and carried out by a special commission established by the head of the basic unit. This commission examines cases when the student applies for transfer of the study program, when he is accepted in a second study program or when requested by the ministry responsible for education, within the framework of the procedures for the recognition of foreign diplomas.

The application is made through the electronic platform kartastudenti.gov.al, by filling in personal data and uploading a photo. The card is collected at the offices of the Municipality of Tirana.

The withdrawal of the diploma/certificate is done personally by the graduate, against signature and is recorded in the relevant register. If the presence of the graduate is objectively impossible, the withdrawal of the diploma can be done by a representative of the graduate, equipped with a special power of attorney, which is attached to the Register of Issuance of Diplomas/Certificates, by presenting an identification document.

The University of Tirana has two procedures for document confirmation: private and official. For more detailed information, you can click this link: https://unitir.edu.al/konfirmime/

Based on the legislation in force, a student cannot be enrolled in more than one study program at the same time. Excellent students and students are exempt from this article.

The student moves from the first year to the second year when he/she has secured at least 20 (twenty) credits of the courses of the first year's curriculum. When this possibility is not fulfilled, the student follows the remaining courses of the first year in the following year.
The student moves from the second year to the third year when he/she has obtained at least 60 (sixty) credits of the subjects of the first and second year curriculum. When this possibility is not fulfilled, the student follows the remaining subjects of the first and/or second year in the following year.
A final year student who, at the end of the year's exams, has up to 30 outstanding credits has the right to settle them before the graduation season, in a period determined by the dean's office/directorate, in agreement with the relevant unit of the study program. A student who settles these obligations is allowed to enter the final diploma exam. Otherwise, he/she has the right to settle them in the following re-examination season.
These requirements are valid for programs in all three study cycles, with the exception of the doctoral study program.
The student is allowed to enter the diploma defense after having earned all the credits foreseen in the study program.
