Process Description
The underlying BPMN model renders the nostrification
process of academic qualifications, supported by the
Hellenic NARIC, commonly known as DOATAP.
The process starts when an applicant requires an academic degree
recognition. Initially, the applicant is requested to collect
all the documents that are indispensable to the execution
of the underlying process, such as copies of the personal identity,
the issued degree, the official transcript, etc.
Connecting to the E-DOATAP platform,
the applicant is requested further to fill in an online application form.
Prior to its submission, the applicant is requested to deposit
a payment voucher, taking into account that the applicant
bears the cost of the nostrification fee, composed of the nominal fee,
the bank charges, and the transfer fees. Once the
nostrification fee has been deposited, the application along with the applicant's documents and
a proof of payment are submitted and propagated to DOATAP,
where the nostrification process is triggered. Therein, the process is
compartmentalized into two distinct phases, namely
the preliminary assessment (aiming at the confirmation
of applicant’s qualifications) and the verification
phase (aiming at making the verification decision).
Firstly, a rapporteur is requested to check the
application completeness and contact the applicant
in case of a missing document. Once all the mandatory
documents are received, the rapporteur continues with a check of the
documents validity, while in parallel confirms the
applicant’s alleged qualification, after contacting
the signatory HEI and waiting for a response. At the time that the aforementioned
screening is completed, the rapporteur evaluates the
preliminary assessment, deciding either to proceed to
the verification phase or reject the application due
to identified discrepancies. In the former scenario,
the verification phase unfolds, where a registration
number is assigned to the underlying application and communicated to the applicant.
Subsequently, the rapporteur drafts a motion to
verification and forwards it to the Board of Directors (BoD).
Thereafter, a verification decision is made based on the
formerly received motion, before the decision outcome
being communicated to the applicant and stored in a database,
thus rendering the completion of the nostrification process.
Based on the degree type, the nostrification fee is calculated as shown
in the first table, while the duration of each process phase (i.e., Preliminary assessment
and verification phase) is presented in the second one.
| Type of Degree | Nostrification Fee |
|---|---|
| Bachelor Degree | 230,40 € |
| Master Degree | 184,32 € |
| PhD Degree | 184,32 € |
| Master + PhD Degree | 368,64 € |
| Bachelor + Master Degree | 414,72 € |
| Nostrification Phase | Duration |
|---|---|
| Preliminary assessment | 3 to 5 months |
| Verification phase | up to 3 months |
