The student's relationship with Universidade Aberta is based on enrollment. The admitted candidate is enrolled in the Program he intends to attend and his attendance depends on enrollment in curricular units of the study plan.
Failure to enroll in at least one (1) curricular unit, during a school year, implies the loss of validity of the enrollment. Consequently, if the student intends, at any time, to continue his study, he will have to request, to Universidade Aberta (and not directly, through the Academic Portal), his re-entry (This access mode can only be requested by students who have been enrolled in the same program at Universidade Aberta). Re-entry requires the payment of 35 euros.
