Enrolment
CONTINUING STUDENTS
This section is for students who are already enrolled on master’s degree subjects and have to re-enrol for the new academic year.
Please read it carefully and, where necessary, contact the Centre for Postgraduate Studies for any queries.
Enrolment periods for continuing students 2021-22
The enrolment deadline has been extended in order to facilitate enrolment for continuing students. The ongoing enrolment period for master's programmes will be open from 6th October to 12th November 2021.
In any event, returning students may formalise their enrolment when all assessment records from the previous year have been finalised.
Resolving any academic queries before enrolment
It is important that students clear up any academic queries about the subjects they still need to take before enrolment, especially if they are on a pathway or speciality, as well as the viva procedure for their master’s thesis or placements, where applicable.
The answers to these questions can be found on the CEP website. Nonetheless, should students still have any queries before enrolling, they should contact their master’s programme director. The contact form is available on the corresponding master’s degree website and can be accessed by clicking on the director’s name.
Regulations on ongoing attendance
In order to enrol on a master's degree programme as a continuing student, students must comply with the terms set out in the UIB Ongoing Attendance Regulations.
- Full-time students must have passed at least 40% of their enrolled credits for each academic year
- Part-time students must have passed at least 10% of their enrolled credits for each academic year.
Where master’s degree students only enrol for one subject, such as the master's thesis, they do not have to comply with these minimum requirements.
Students who do not comply with the attendance regulations and wish to request a further academic year must submit their application to the administrative services in the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building before formalising their enrolment.
The consequences of failing to pass the minimum number of credits and the terms and conditions to apply for a further academic year may be consulted in the current Ongoing Attendance Regulations.
Enrolment procedure
Enrolment is done in the Acadèmic app within the deadlines listed in the 'Ongoing enrolment deadlines' section.
In order to access enrolment, students need to go to their personal student area, enter their username and password, and click on the section for enrolment via Acadèmic.
Once in the Acadèmic app, they need to select the 'Matrícula > Alta de matrícula' ('Enrolment > Enrol') option and follow the steps set out in the app:
- Review their personal details
- Read and accept the enrolment terms
- Fill in the statistical survey
- Select the subjects to enrol in
- Select, where applicable, any possible discounts or allowances they may have the right to, such as being an applicant for a general grant from the Ministry

- In addition, if payment is made by direct debit, the SEPA debit document should be printed, signed and submitted to the CEP before the set deadline.
Enrolment for academic tutoring for external placements or the master's thesis
What is it?
Enrolment for academic tutoring represents a significant discount on the enrolment fees for external placements or the master's thesis, in accordance with current regulations, and counts as a second enrolment.
After the tutoring period ends and if you do not pass the subject, the subsequent enrolments shall revert to ordinary ones.
For whom?
In the event that the external placement or master's thesis viva could not be undertaken during the first enrolment, students shall have to re-enrol. If they do so in the academic year immediately following, this enrolment may be for academic tutoring.
For the 2021-22 academic year, students enrolled for the first time on external placements and/or the master's thesis subject in 2020-21, who were given a mark of 'absent' and wish to re-enrol in 2021-22, are entitled to enrol for academic tutoring.
When?
Enrolment for academic tutoring takes place in ordinary enrolment periods as listed in the Application, admission and enrolment periods section on the CEP website, once all the records from the last year are final.
Moreover, an extraordinary enrolment period for academic tutoring runs after the mandatory closing date for records, from 22nd to 30th November 2021.
How?
In order to formalise their enrolment for academic tutoring, students need to have the final records from the last year and a mark of 'absent' for external placements and/or the master's thesis.
Enrolment is done on the Acadèmic app. Students need to select the 'Matrícula > Alta de matrícula' (Enrolment > Enrol), or 'Matrícula > Modificación de matrícula' (Enrolment > Amend Enrolment) option if they have enrolled on any other subject during the ordinary enrolment period, and follow the indications provided in the app.
Documentation that must be submitted to the CEP after carrying out the enrolment
Once the enrolment has been completed, the student may have to submit some documentation to the Centre for Postgraduate Studies.
Supporting Documentation for Applicable Enrolment Discounts or Allowances
Students who are entitled to a discount or an exemption from enrolment fees (large families, disabled persons, victims of a terrorist act or gender violence, foreigners’ identification number accreditation card [NIE], etc.) must submit the originals of the corresponding supporting documents, along with a photocopy of all of them, to the administrative services of the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building. If they have already submitted these documents and they are still valid, they don’t need to submit them again.
More information about Supporting Documentation for Applicable Enrolment Discounts or Allowances.
The deadline is November 30 of the current academic course.
Documentation for Direct Debit Payments
Students who have chosen the direct debit payment option for their enrolment must submit the duly signed SEPA direct debit document to the administrative services of the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building. This document will be generated when they have completed the enrolment procedure. If they have already submitted it and they have the same bank account, they don’t need to do so again.
The deadline is November 30 of the current academic course.
Applying for credit recognition
Students who wish to apply for credit recognition for studies they have already completed must submit an application to the administrative services in the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building within the corresponding enrolment deadline depending on the date when they have been admitted to the master's programme. This date is listed in the Application, admission and enrolment deadlines section on the CEP website.
Students who wish to apply for accreditation of the placement on their master's programme must submit an application to the administrative services in the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building in the first five days of the month.
A photocopy of students' DNI, NIE or passport must be attached to the application form. In addition, they shall need to pay the corresponding accreditation study fee.
Students who apply for accreditation of studies from other universities must submit the academic certificate of the studies taken in Catalan, Spanish or English so that the UIB may correctly issue their final academic certificate for the programme and the European Diploma Supplement.
The credit recognition and transfer committees for each master's programme shall approve the applications received and the Centre for Postgraduate Studies will notify students so that they may pay the corresponding fees.
Amending enrolment
Students who need to do so may modify their enrolment as follows:
- After formalising enrolment in the ordinary period, and during the established period, they may maintain or increase their number of enrolled credits.
- Where students enrol on more credits in a semester than those set out in the programme curriculum for said semester, they may reduce the number of credits to the amount indicated in the curriculum, within the first 20 calendar days after the start of academic teaching in each semester.
- During the enrolment amendment period, students may claim a fee-waiver status that they had previously failed to mention in the enrolment procedure, regardless of when they originally had to fulfil this status.
Moreover, in instances where the master's management team so deems, students may add subjects to their enrolment during the extended enrolment period set for each master's degree. This period only applies to second-semester and annual subjects with approval from the head of the programme. You may view the extended enrolment deadlines and the list of available subjects at this link.
Amendments are made via the Acadèmic app, selecting the 'Enrolment > Change enrolment' section and following the instructions indicated.
Additional enrolment
Students who have used up all the ordinary enrolments for a subject but have not been able to pass it may apply for as many additional enrolments as allowed in the applicable UIB attendance regulations in order to attain a pass mark.
In order to be granted an additional enrolment for a master's programme, students need to submit their application to the administrative services in the Antoni M. Alcover i Sureda building, for the attention of the management of the Centre for Postgraduate Studies.
Assessment for subjects where students have been granted an additional enrolment shall be carried out by a panel.
Refusals for additional enrolments must be reasoned and students may submit an appeal against the decision, addressed to the Vice Chancellor.
Part-time student status
Students who wish to take a master's programme part-time, and who fulfil the requirements, must submit their application to the administrative services in the Antoni Maria Alcover i Sureda building before formalising their enrolment.
For more information on becoming a 'part-time student', please see the UIB Academic Regulations.
Enrolment cancellation
Students may request the full or partial cancellation of their enrolment as long as they conform to the conditions established in the Academic regulations of the UIB.
Cancellation of enrolments must be requested via UIBdigital.
