Applicants who do not fall under one of the above situations will address themselves directly to the National Center for Recognition and Equivalence of Diplomas within the Ministry of National Education and Scientific Research

Teaching positions obtained at other accredited higher education institutions than those mentioned above are recognized only based on an international mutual recognition agreement, concluded at intergovernmental or interuniversity level.

Study documents subject to recognition are authenticated with the Hague Apostille for states that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, and for other states, the study documents are superlegalized or accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the competent authorities from the country of origin.

Exemption from apostille or superlegalization is permitted under the law, an international treaty to which Romania is a party, or on the basis of reciprocity.

The Rectorate requests from the Faculty to which the teaching position subject to recognition belongs, a committee made up of 3 specialists, having a teaching position at least equal to that of the applicant, who within 5 working days, verify and express themselves on the fulfillment of the conditions for recognition of the proven teaching position. If unclear situations are found, the committee requests additional documents from the applicant, who is obliged to submit the requested documents within a maximum of 5 working days.

Otherwise, the committee will reject the recognition request. If the conditions are found to be met, the committee of specialists will draft an Analysis Report with the proposal for recognition of the teaching position.

Following the Analysis Report, the Rector of UTCB issues the recognition decision. The certificate of recognition of the teaching position is issued by the Rectorate Secretariat within a maximum of 5 working days from notification, according to the model in this procedure.

For dossier analysis a processing fee, established annually by the University Senate in the UTCB Fee Regulation, is charged, which will also include postal fees for correspondence with the applicants.
