This is the enrolment application submitted by master's students without having to re-apply for a place through the ordinary admission procedure.

Students who fulfil the following circumstances have direct admission to the official master's programme that they have requested:

1.    Students from a curriculum that is ending and being adapted to the replacement curriculum. In this instance, students need to fill in the adaptation application. The following rules must be followed:

o    The adaptation application implicitly includes the accreditation request for credits on the new curriculum that have been passed on the old one. Therefore, it is subject to the corresponding public fee, where applicable

o    The adaptation process will close the academic record for the old curriculum and no enrolment or accreditation thereof will be possible

o    Adaptation is subject to what is set out in the academic progress regulations for students.

2.    Students who have been penalised for not having fulfilled the academic progress regulations. Where students are penalised due to failure to comply with the academic progress regulations they may, after the penalty period has ended, request immediate readmission, notwithstanding what is set out in the academic progress regulations.  

3.    Students who, after starting a UIB master's programme, temporarily leave, as long as they comply with the corresponding academic progress regulations.

4.    New students who request and obtain a full enrolment cancellation from the previous year in accordance with the academic regulations.

Direct admission will be assessed in the following instances:

· Grantholders of competitive grants awarded by the UIB or external institutions, in line with the nature of these scholarships

· Students from double degree programmes and joint programmes with other universities, as long as they have passed a prior selection process, the possibility is included in the approved learning project for the double degree or, in the case of joint degrees, the possibility is included in the governing agreement.

Where an application is rejected, candidates may lodge an appeal to the relevant Pro Vice-Chancellor within five working days following receipt of the corresponding notification.

What is Specific Enrolment Status?

Where you fulfil any of the special conditions set out in the the Academic Regulations, you may request permission to take your programme with a specific enrolment status. In this way, you may reduce the minimum number of credits to enrol and pass per year, adapt assessments on different pathways, etc.

Qualifying Circumstances for Specific Enrolment Status

You must accredit any of the following circumstances in order to qualify for specific enrolment status:

1. Being in employment with an equivalent working day to at least half the ordinary full-time working day

8. Having or being an applicant for international protection
9. Accrediting victim of gender-based violence status.
10. Being in any other extraordinary situation the relevant body deems a determining factor to be granted specific enrolment status on the programme.

Most of these circumstances must be accredited on a yearly basis to renew specific enrolment status. Whilst some only require one-time accreditation, students must inform the university in the event of any change in their circumstances.

New Students

In order to enrol with a specific status, it must already be accredited on your admission application or, where your circumstances change during the academic year, you must submit a request.

Returning Students and Direct Admission

In order to enrol with specific status, you must submit a request to renew the status awarded in previous academic years or be granted it for the first time. The deadline period for requests runs from 20^th July to 16^th October 2025.

Changes in Circumstances during the Academic Year

If students' circumstances change in the first semester, they may request specific status:

• Where the request is made before the start of the addition of courses period on the master's programme, the following may be amended: the number of second-semester credits and the academic conditions for second-semester subjects
  
• Where the request is made up to 10 days after the start of academic activities for each semester on the master's programme, the status may be applied to subjects in a semester for the purpose of specific assessment pathways.
