Enrolment procedures

If, once the registration has been formalized, there are changes to the timetables or exam dates, the student may modify the registration as long as the changes have caused an incompatibility to take the subjects for which they have registered, or to be able to be assessed.

In studies that have annual registration, in the registration modification period of the 2nd semester, students can extend their registration, as long as the subjects requested comply with the academic and administrative requirements established in the current academic regulations.

The student makes the registration modification request under their own responsibility and is obliged to know and respect the conditions, rules and administrative procedures related to the registration of the studies established both in the General Academic Regulations of the UPC studies and in the specific regulations of the studies in which they are registered.

Accepted registration modification requests are subject to the fee established in the Decree on public prices of the Generalitat de Catalunya, for the current academic year.

Accepting the modification of enrolment does not entail a refund of the public prices corresponding to the amount of the modified subjects. If you de-enrol in a subject or make any change that involves a decrease in credits, even if it has been made within the deadlines for modifying enrolment, the money will not be refunded unless it is for one of the one of the reasons established in the UPC budget . To request a refund of public prices to the UPC Academic Secretariat, you must make an express request, providing the supporting documentation, within a maximum period of one month from the date of the resolution that gives the right to the refund.
