Transfer from commerce to budget - new rules. About the transition from a paid form of education to a budget

All students who perform well have the opportunity to transfer from a commercial form of education to a budget one. This opportunity is enshrined in the Procedure and cases of transfer of persons studying in educational programs of secondary vocational and higher education from paid to free education, approved by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated 06.06.2013 No. 443 “On approval of the Procedure and cases of transfer of persons studying in educational programs of secondary professional and higher education, from paid to free education" (registered with the Ministry of Justice of Russia on July 19, 2013 No. 29107).

What are the requirements for transferring from commercial to budget education?

Amendments to the Procedure made by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated September 25, 2014 N 1286 provide for the right of a student to transfer from a commercial department to a budget department if the following requirements are met:

• - absence of academic debt;
• - absence of disciplinary sanctions;
• - no overdue payments for educational services;
• - presence of “good” and “excellent” grades in the academic record for the previous two semesters.

It turns out that a student who passed the previous two sessions without “C” grades has a real opportunity to transfer to a free form of education. The press service of the Ministry of Education and Science commented on the existing changes as “stimulating students to perform well.”

Let us remind you that until 2015, only “excellent students” could use the translation, of whom, unfortunately, we do not have many. Some talented guys ended up staying on a paid basis, which did not have the best effect on their mood and incentives. The current formulation of this provision contributes to a significant expansion of the circle of persons entitled to free education, which is undoubtedly an expansion of benefits for a good student, which should be taken advantage of. A complete list of benefits for students can be found in the corresponding section of the website.

The final decision to transfer a student to budget support is made by the general meeting of the special commission. The opinion of the students' union is also taken into account. If the student has not reached the age of majority, then the council of parents in a particular educational institution is also involved in making the decision.

As additional documents that can increase the chances of a positive decision on switching to a budget, you can additionally attach documents on achievements in knowledge of certain disciplines, on participation in cultural, social and sports events.

In the event that there are several applicants for one budget place, priority will be given to those persons with the best results of intermediate certifications. Participation in cultural, social, sports and other areas is of secondary importance.

It is also a great incentive for students to achieve better learning results. In this regard, it is important to give a chance to receive education at the expense of the budget to those who show particular success in learning. Therefore, first of all, the commission’s gaze is focused on the results of academic performance.

An important decision is also to increase budget places. However, they should not be opened in all faculties and areas. Here it is very important to listen to the opinion of the community, which will tell you in which areas of activity there is a need for certain specialists. To meet the needs of the modern labor market, it is important to create more budget places in those faculties that can fill the shortage of highly qualified specialists. But the current state of affairs suggests the opposite: commercial places in universities are an excellent option for earning money, so in popular areas of study the number of budget places is becoming less and less.

Rules for transferring to free education

The main condition for switching from a commercial form of education to a free one is the availability of free budget places, the financing of which comes from the budgets of various levels for a specific area of ​​study.

The period in which a student can apply for transfer is determined by an internal decision of the educational institution.

All necessary information regarding deadlines, availability of budget places, as well as the procedure for switching from a commercial form of education to a free one, should be freely available. An educational institution is obliged to post relevant data in the media, for example, on the official website of the university.

• - orphans and children who have lost parental care;
• - persons under twenty years of age who have a disabled person as their only parent I group, and if the average per capita income of this family does not reach the subsistence level established in a specific region of our country;
• - persons who lost one or two parents while receiving education.

Application Process

Upon receiving an application from a student with a request to consider his candidacy for transfer from a commercial form of education to a budget one, representatives of the educational institution are required to register and submit the application to the commission within 5 days. The application is accompanied by extracts from transcripts confirming the student’s academic performance, a certificate of no penalties and payment documents indicating payment for educational services. The package of documents also includes information about awards and participation in certain areas of activity.

The result of consideration of the provided package of documents is the adoption of one of two decisions: “refuse” or “allow”. The final decision of the commission is also based on the availability of a certain number of available budget places.

The minutes of the commission meeting are also made available to everyone by posting it on appropriate resources, for example, on the World Wide Web or other media.

Within 10 days, the commission’s decision is officially formalized by an order for the educational institution, which is signed by the head of the institution or another authorized person.

Personal rights

The procedure and conditions of transfer are regulated by Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated 06.06.2013 No. 433.

The most important condition for transfer is the availability of free budget space in the relevant field of study and form of study in the desired course. A vacancy can appear at any time of the academic year: someone has dropped out, transferred to another faculty or to a correspondence course. Accordingly, you should constantly monitor the situation with budget places: the dean’s office should provide the information that interests you. Unfortunately, students are not always informed in a timely manner, but it is possible to monitor the number of available places on the official website of the university.

Other conditions for applying for a transfer are that the student has no current academic debt, disciplinary sanctions, or tuition debt.

Who can apply for a budget place

According to the order of the Ministry of Education, the following have the right to transfer:

1. Students who have passed at least two sessions in a row with “excellent” or “good” and “excellent” marks. However, at least 75% of the total number of grades (taking into account grades for coursework and practice) must be A's in the student's record book. In different universities, the required period of study without C grades may differ, but does not exceed four sessions in a row. A single “satisfactory” rating will deprive you of the opportunity to apply for a transfer to the budget. Therefore, it makes sense to ask the teacher to give it a “fail” and then retake the exam. All “tails” of those applying for transfer must be eliminated as quickly as possible.
2. Orphans and children left without parental care.
3. Citizens of the Russian Federation under the age of twenty years, having only one parent - a disabled person of group I, if the average per capita total family income is below the subsistence level established in the corresponding constituent entity of the Russian Federation. This point can also help those students who apply for a budget place based on good academic performance. A certificate from social security will be a bonus that can resolve the issue in your favor.
4. Students who lost one or both parents (legal representatives) or a single parent (legal representative) during their studies.

Package of documents

In order to add your candidacy to the list of applicants for a budget-funded position, you need to:

− submit a corresponding application to the dean’s office;

− confirm the right to transfer. An excellent or good student must make a photocopy of the grade book and have it certified by the dean’s office (there must be a seal of the educational institution and the signature of the dean); for those who have lost a parent or for the poor - relevant certificates and documents from social security;

− prepare documents confirming special achievements in educational, research, social, cultural, creative and sports activities of an educational organization (diplomas, certificates, gratitude - if available);

− a description drawn up by the dean or his deputy for educational work, the curator of the group;

Transfer commission

A special commission that decides the fate of students usually meets twice a year. Most often this happens in August-September and February-March - following the results of exam sessions. It is better to check the exact date in the dean’s office or on the website.

For budget applicants, this is a very important point, since collecting and signing the necessary documents takes some time. It is better to start collecting certificates from social security several months before the date of delivery. If you miss the time when the commission met or do not have time to submit all the documents, you will have to wait another six months, which means you will have to pay for another semester.

If there are more applicants than vacant places, the transfer commission may order additional tests in the form of an exam or distribute the available places in accordance with the submitted documents. According to the law, priority is given first to excellent students, then to orphans and students who have only one parent - a group I disabled person.

Under all equal conditions, preference is given to students with the best academic performance.

How to get money back after transfer

If you managed to pay for the next year or semester of education, and after that you were transferred to the budget, you can get your money back.

To return the funds, you will need to write a corresponding application based on the transfer to the budgetary basis of training, indicating the current account. If the year or semester has not yet begun (you paid in advance or switched to a budget during the holidays), then the money will be returned in full. If the commission met during the educational process, a recalculation will be made. For example, if the order to transfer a student was signed on April 11, then funds will be returned only for the period of part of April and until the end of the academic year.

If an applicant does not qualify for a budget-funded place, but passes through a general competition, then he is asked to enter into an agreement under which he is accepted for training on a commercial basis. That is, the student will be obliged, before the date determined by the university or faculty, to promptly deposit the amount of money determined by agreement for each semester of study through the cash desk of the educational institution. That would seem to be all - a person will be doomed to pay for his studies until he defends his diploma. However, this is not quite true. There are ways to solve this problem. The question of how to switch from paid to budget should be asked starting from the first semester. In most universities, the transfer mechanism has been worked out over many years.

Paid education at a university is based on a contractual basis, therefore, when transferring to the budget, first of all, the agreement on the provision of paid educational services is terminated. The main criterion for transferring a student to the budget is his academic performance. First of all, these are grades during the test and examination sessions. Intermediate academic performance has virtually no effect on changing the status of a “paying student.” In order to have a chance to switch to a free basis, you must definitely pass the first session without grades “satisfactory” - only “good” and “excellent”. It is advisable to give your best, because the higher the grades, the more in the eyes of the dean of his faculty the student deserves not to pay for education.

In some educational institutions, it is possible to transfer to a budget department after the first session passed with positive marks. This usually happens if some students studying on a free basis were unable to complete all exams and tests and were put on the expulsion list. Instead of those who were eventually removed from the university, by decision of the dean’s office, those who performed best during the examination and test sessions will be transferred to their places. That is, at the beginning of the second semester, such students will be called to the dean’s office to terminate the contract and apply for a scholarship. All this will be formalized by a special order for the faculty, which is confirmed by the seal of the university and the signature of its head - the rector.

But the transfer is not always carried out after the first semester. It is possible that you will have to work hard during the summer exam session, and payment for your studies until then will also have to be paid on time. If passing exams in the summer, just like in the winter, was successful, then from the new academic year the dean of the faculty does not have the right to refuse an excellent or good student to switch to free education. If, however, the second session did not go as desired, then you can try to correct the situation and try to retake the failed subject. To do this, you need to submit an application to the dean’s office and agree with a specific teacher about retaking the test. Most often, they meet such students.

If you still correct your satisfactory scores and fail to achieve a positive result right away, you will have to work harder in the second and subsequent years. If a student has a strong desire to overcome his “paying fee” status, then sooner or later he will succeed. Seeing such a student’s zeal, many university employees will meet him halfway and give him certain concessions in exams. In general, good relationships with teachers and active participation in the public life of the university will also be an excellent help in achieving this goal. Education on a free basis is quite accessible to a student who wants to really get there. Responsible work during the semester, as well as good answers in exams are the key to success.

In the Russian-language literature, we have not identified sufficiently in-depth and modern studies of foreign experience on the issues under consideration, but let us pay attention to the book by N.G. Tipenko “International experience in organizing and financing general education,” which talks about voucher financing programs in the United States, where consumers of educational services are given the opportunity to choose educational institutions at their own discretion in school districts included in the program. A student from a public free school can transfer to a private fee-paying school, in which case the tuition will be paid for by the state (state). It is far from obvious that financing school education through vouchers helps improve its efficiency and optimize the expenditure of budget funds. Studies have not shown a statistically significant increase in academic performance among students who were included in the voucher program. In other words, students did not study better after being transferred from one school to another (from public schools to private ones). Further, the voucher program inevitably entails financial losses for public schools, since their funding is based on a formula where the main parameter is the number of students. This "bleeding" of the state general education system makes it even worse.

The budget reform carried out by government bodies, starting in 2006, is aimed at achieving the goal of ensuring the efficiency of the functioning of state and municipal institutions; this is precisely what at one time hopes were associated with the creation of autonomous institutions in the budgetary sphere. Of course, no one denies that the state and local governments have certain public social obligations to citizens, but paid services should not be seen as a threat or a substitute for social obligations. First of all, because the Education Law itself establishes restrictions, and note, only on paid educational services. So, in Art. 48 of the Law on Education states that “...a teaching worker of an organization carrying out educational activities, including as an individual entrepreneur, does not have the right to provide paid educational services to students in this organization if this leads to a conflict of interests of the teaching worker.”

Paid training is very popular. Students of both higher educational institutions and colleges pay for their education. However, not every person who has entered a non-budgetary place knows that he can transfer to a budget position. In this case, the state will pay for the education. But how to switch to a budget from paid?

You can get a budget place if certain conditions are met

1. The educational institution has a free place in the course in which you are currently studying and in the relevant specialty.

2. There should be no tuition debts, as well as disciplinary sanctions.

3. For the last two semesters in a row, exams must be passed with high marks.

To get a budget place, you first need to find out from the administration of the educational institution whether such an opportunity exists.

Some universities only provide it to students who have a high GPA.

It is important to get high grades in tests and exams. It is also important to take an active part in the affairs of the educational institution. Many universities value students who participate in various competitions. These are guys with an active lifestyle. After each session, you need to contact the dean’s office and find out if there is a free budget place. Don't be afraid to seem intrusive. Remember that your family's money goes towards education.

If you have the opportunity to transfer from paid to free training, be sure to take it. This will allow you to save a lot of money, which can be spent on other purposes. Proceed in the following order.

1. As soon as you find out that there is a vacant budget place, immediately go to the dean’s office.

2. Write a corresponding statement. A sample will be provided at the dean's office.

3. If there is a document that gives you the right to receive any benefits, be sure to attach it to your application.

4. The application must also be accompanied by documents that confirm special achievements in educational, social, sports and other activities.

All documents you provide will be reviewed by a specially created commission. This procedure usually takes about a month. The rector issues a corresponding order. The document is signed within ten days from the date of the decision of the special commission.

Not only those students who study well can get a free place. Orphans, children who have only one parent, as well as students who were left without a father or mother during their studies are also entitled to this. All transfer conditions in these special cases can be obtained from the administration of the institution.
