A voluntary mechanism has been set up for current students planning to transfer to the new degree programme. Systems are in place to guarantee equal opportunities for students transferring from the existing informatics engineering degree programme to the UPM's new Bologna-compliant undergraduate informatics engineering degree course. This complies with the provisions of Proposal 23 of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Degree Programme Implementation Requirements and Recommendations (proposed by the UPM's Degree Programme Reform Advisory Committee, set up by decision of the Governing Council of 27 March 2008).
The following table is an outline of the proposed adaptation plan for students transferring from the existing informatics engineering degree programme to the new degree programme.

Notwithstanding, all student attainment under the 1996 degree programme, measured as ECTS credits (applicable to all subjects, both compulsory and optional, from any year), shall be fully recognized in the new degree programme according to APC criteria established in sections 4.5 and 5.1.
By decision of the Academic Policy Committee at its meeting held on 3 July 2009, this section 5.1 is further specified as follows:
"For the recognition of credits for adapting the informatics engineering degree programme to the undergraduate informatics engineering degree programme, every 1.25 credits under the degree programme are equivalent to 1 ECTS credit.
The difference in credits resulting from the recognition of each subject, according to the above adaptation table, set out in the Undergraduate Informatics Engineering Degree Report, shall be added to the other credits earned by students under the 1996 informatics engineering degree programme that cannot be recognized according to the above table (optional subjects, free choice subjects, etc.) such that the above equivalence applies."
