If the candidate’s educational documents require official recognition for the purpose of higher education in Poland, the Candidate has the right to request the Academy’s support and mediation in the process of obtaining the required documents , provided that the full admission fee has been paid.
Upon the Candidate’s request, the Academy compiles and submits the appropriate application to NAWA in order to obtain a written statement from the Director of NAWA regarding the certificate or other document presented by the Candidate, confirming their eligibility to apply for admission to studies.
The Academy undertakes to submit the appropriate application to NAWA within 7 days from the date the Candidate provides all the required documents.
