Conditional Admission

Once you submit a complete university application and meet all other requirements of your study program (e.g., pass an entry exam, deliver a design portfolio), you are conditionally admitted to SWPS University.

Conditional admission means that once you receive your official Letter of Admission to SWPS University, you may begin your studies, however, to be fully admitted, you still must deliver original documents, such as your secondary school or university diploma(s) to the Admissions Office, by a specified deadline, which will be provided to you by the Admissions Office.

Please note, in some cases, your documents may need to undergo a nostrification procedure (recognition of your diplomas by Polish institutions). Once your diplomas are officially recognized, you must deliver them to the Center for Student Affairs (not the Admissions Office), by the end of the first semster.

Deliver documents to SWPS University

Candidates who have been admitted conditionally, must deliver original documents to the Admissions Office by the specified deadline. Documents may be delivered by post or courier or in person (in October). You may also nominate a proxy, who will deliver your documents or if you are younger than 18 years old, your parent or legal guardian may deliver the documents.

Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• The Admissions Office needs your original documents for verification only. You will get them back. Please check the Application Form to ensure what original documents must be submitted to the Admissions Office.
• We will also need copies of your original documents for our records. Therefore, please also bring one set of copies of your original documents.
• Refer to your conditional acceptance decision to check whether there is a need for your diplomas to undergo a nostrification procedure. This can be done in any local Board of Education Office (Kuratorium Oświaty) in Poland. View a list of Board of Education Offices.
• If you do not deliver the original documents to the Admissions Office by the specified deadline, your conditional admission decision becomes null and void.

Once you become a student of SWPS University, all your student matters will be handled by the Center for Student Affairs. In mid-September, you will be granted access to your student e-mail account and the Virtual University Platform (an internal information portal for students).

Pick up your Student ID Card

Your Student ID card will be available for pick up at the Center for Student Affairs, starting October 1st. An announcement that student ID cards are ready for pick up will be posted on the Virtual University Platform. To obtain a Student ID card, you must upload your photograph to the Application Portal. The photo must meet the formal requirements, which are described in detail in the Application Form.
