Re-enrollment
Re-enrollment is intended for students who were enrolled in the previous school year in the same program.
The enrollment period is provided in the academic calendar of each academic year.
To re-enroll, all payments from the previous school year need to be settled. If this condition is not met, the student must seek the school’s one-stop source, either in person or by email, to analyze the current situation and possibly submit a request for a phased payment plan for the amount owed from the previous year.
Re-enrollment is only validated after payment of the 1st tuition installment, enrollment fee, and Insurance.
Where
Students re-enroll online through the IPVC Academic Web Site. The area reserved for students is accessed with the respective log-in data (log-in name and password).
In case of technical difficulties, send an e-mail to si@ipvc.pt (IPVC Information Technology Center). The e-mail must include the following information: student identification number, program, full name, and BI/CC and NIF identification numbers.
For questions related to academic matters, the academic services of the respective school should be contacted.
Before beginning the online re-enrollment process, it is important to read the “Procedure Manual for online enrollment/registration” carefully.
Required Documentation
Mandatory:
- Identification document (citizen card/passport) information, if the expiration date has passed
- Proof of tax residence (extracted from the personal area of the finances web page)
Proof of vaccination against tetanus and other diseases is not required as the student is responsible for complying with the immunization schedule under the National Immunization Program throughout their life.
Students with Student Employee status must make a formal request annually under the terms provided. The formal request will only be valid when the student fills out the respective form and provides it along with all the necessary documents for assessment. The student should seek information about the Student Employee special status.
If the student has submitted a scholarship application and wishes to be exempt from paying tuition until they receive the respective response, they must provide evidence that they have applied by providing the online form in the scholarship system.
After the student has received the response to the scholarship application, they have only 10 days to regularize their situation and pay all fees until the communication date. The direct debit system will only be active if the student communicates this intention by the last business day of each month.
Re-enrollment Costs
- First Tuition installment (see the IPVC General Regulation for Tuition and Prescription)
- Enrollment: € 10
- Student Insurance: € 7 (Extended Student Insurance option: € 9)
Students may select payment method upon re-enrollment. Ten installments are generated by default, but there are other options:
- Single payment
- Payment in 4 installments
- Payment in 10 installments
Tuition is paid according to the terms set forth in the order by the IPVC President, which is published annually, and it can be paid through Multibanco (MB) as payment for services or by MB WAY or Credit Card. MB reference numbers expire 48 hours after they have been sent to the e-mail.
Direct debit
To activate direct debit for tuition payment, the IBAN (full bank identification number) + BIC SWIFT of the bank account and the respective proof of the account, which can be consulted at an ATM, are necessary. The direct debit authorization form must also be completed and uploaded during the re-enrollment process.
This procedure is mandatory even if the student had chosen the direct debit option in the previous year. They should note in the form whether the bank identification number is still the same or has been modified.
For all those who choose the direct debit system, debits will only begin as of the 2nd tuition installment.
