The University, through the Office of Foreign Relations, maintains a permanent information system through the web, which is complemented with specific informative campaigns and actions to promote the calls.
For its part, the ETSE develops, in general and linked to specific calls, informative actions aimed at promoting the mobility of its own students. Thus, each course organizes one or several information sessions, prior to enrollment in the mobility programs, to inform about the options offered, their conditions, and the scholarships and financial aid available. Once the process has begun, orientation and advice is carried out through joint or individual briefings, through the person in charge of the management team, the Manager of the Center and the academic coordinators.
The USC has a student-tutor program for the undergraduate degrees, so that final year students, after receiving training from the University, can perform orientational tasks to students initiating their studies.
Information about student-tutor program:
When a degree suspension occurs, the USC guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.
If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.
