Restrictions following an exclusion or incomplete studies

Candidates who have already studied at university without obtaining a degree can be subject to restrictions.

Excerpts of the “Règlement d'application de la loi du 6 juillet 2004 sur l'Université de Lausanne (RLUL)”

Article 69a (subsection 1)
“A student who has already been registered at another university can be admitted to matriculation in a Bachelor programme or at the School of French as a Foreign Language (EFLE) providing he obtained at least 60 credits ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) during the last 6 semesters in a given programme; he may have obtained certificates proving equivalent results.”
Article 69b
“A student who has been excluded from another higher education institution on disciplinary grounds cannot enrol at UNIL”.

Article 71 (subsection 2)
“A student who is not authorised to continue his/her studies in another Swiss or foreign higher education institution cannot enrol in the same subject area or discipline at UNIL”

Article 72
“A student who wishes to change faculty has to fulfil the registration conditions and conditions of access to exams of his/her new faculty.

A change of faculty or programme is not authorised when one of the conditions mentioned in art. 69a or 69b of the present regulations applied by analogy is fulfilled.
A student excluded from a faculty at UNIL or another university, whose enrolment in a different faculty has been approved, has only one chance to sit the first series of examinations”.
