Validate your High School Diploma
FEEDUC provides free support for Credencial applications from students who have previously entrusted us with their entire admission process to one of our partner universities in Spain.
- What is the Credencial?
It’s document that proves to Spanish universities that a foreign student’s high school diploma entitles him or her to enter the Spanish university system.
- Is it mandatory?
Yes, all universities in Spain require this document. It is compulsory for all official courses authorised by the Spanish government.
- Who issues the Credencial?
UNED, based in Madrid, is the body responsible for issuing the Credencial.
- Can I apply for a Credencial without my high school results?
There is no need to apply for a Credencial before the end of June, as the high school grades must be provided to UNED as proof of having obtained the diploma.
- What to do to obtain the Credencial?
You can apply for the Credencial online, on the UNED website.
Some of our partner universities in Spain do this for the students, such as CEU San Pablo (INCLUDED IN THE HOSPITALITY SERVICE, WITH A FEE) and UCJC (FREE OF CHARGE). Other universities, such as UAX, UEC, UEM, UEV, NEBRIJA or UFV, do not offer tis service, so the student must do this him/herself.
The university will then retrieve the Credencial directly from the UNED website, using the identity document number.
For FEEDUC partner universities not listed above, you should enquire on a case-by-case basis.
This page will be updated each time a decision is communicated to us by one of our partner universities in Spain.
In any case, don’t worry: at the universities that accept FEEDUC students in Spain, the Credencial is compulsory by the start of the school year at the latest.
- Is the Credencial free?
To complete this official administrative procedure, UNED requires the payment of 115.45 euros. The payment, secured by SMS code, is made online by credit card during your application. You will receive your payment receipt (“Recibo de pago de solicitud de acreditacion”) by e-mail. Check your SPAM inbox.
- How to apply for the Credencial?
As the UNED website is quite complex, and to make things easier for students registered with FEEDUC, we are going to create your online account on the UNED website. Please send us an email at info@feeduc.eu and we will give you all the necessary information.
