Due to the creative character of the academic process, informal and unformal education are integral components of studies, the main motivation being the participation in prestigious competitions, festivals, scientific conferences and other projects that contribute to students’ further recognition, as well as participation in international mobility programmes.
All academic and extracurricular achievements of students are reflected in their electronic portfolio, available for review through the Academy’s electronic informational and educational environment (EIEE) (subject to written consent of the student to make the data on his achievements available publicly).

The Academy has procedures and means to collect and monitor academic achievements of students, based on their portfolios and the general analysis of academic performance. Appropriate measures are then taken based on this information.
According to the local normative act “Rules of changing fee-based study for fees-free study”, special achievements in academic, research, social, cultural, creative and sports activities can be eligible for a motivated transition of a student to a vacant budget place within the relevant educational programme.
The payment of increased academic scholarships is provided for students with high academic performance according to the local act “Regulations on scholarships for students of the Gnesins RAM”.

Copies of diplomas, certificates, letters of gratitude etc. are stored in personal files of students. A number of students have also been awarded with the rector’s Acknowledgement for participation in major creative projects of the Academy.
