Individual Course Units

You do not need to be a higher education student to attend our curricular units.

Registration can be completed either by students enrolled in a higher education program or by other interested individuals.

Registration can be carried out under an assessed or non-assessed regime.

Curricular units in which a student is registered under the assessed regime and successfully completes:

  • Will be certified;

  • Will be credited, subject to the limits established by law, if the student holds or will acquire the status of a student enrolled in a higher education study cycle;

Credit recognition only occurs once the student acquires, through enrollment and registration, the status of a student in the relevant higher education study cycle.

Students registering and attending isolated curricular units are required to pay an annual tuition fee, indexed to the number of ECTS credits.

Are there limits for registration in isolated curricular units?

Registration under the assessed regime, regardless of successful completion, is subject to a maximum of 60 accumulated credits throughout the student’s academic pathway.

For this purpose, the academic pathway is considered the set of registrations in curricular units of the same study cycle at the same higher education institution, regardless of the operational regime.

Are there limits for credit recognition?

The recognition of credits obtained through successful completion of isolated curricular units is limited to 50% of the total credits of the study cycle the student intends to join.

How to apply/register

Applications/registrations must be completed in person at the administrative offices.
