At the University of Girona exchange mobility students are supposed to arrive at the beginning of the semester, in time for the Orientation & Welcoming Day (O&W) and before school starts. However, the UdG is aware that institutional calendars might differ, mainly for those coming for the second semester. In order to solve that, exchange/mobility students are allowed to arrive within NO MORE than 15 days later of the official start date  of their Faculty.  Students coming to do projects or practicums may arrive later ONLY with specific permission from the host Faculty or School. E-mail communications with this office included as a recipient will be enough. PLEASE check the academic calendar for the 2025/26 course.

If you can not attend the O&W,  please contact with the International Office incoming.oi@udg.edu in order to organize your arrival. 

The Orientation & Welcoming Day is organised twice a year, at the beginning of each semester, and is intended to personally provide newcomers with relevant  information (UdG student card, appointments with academic tutors...) and introduce them to the Campus and the City. 

At the Welcome Session you will get information about:

• Registering at the University and obtaining a UdG student card
• Getting in contact with your tutor at the UdG to solve all academic issues.
• Obtaining a sports facilities card
• Fill in and sign the "arrival certificate" 
• Lodging
• Catalan culture and language courses
• Information about VISA /NIE and other useful information
• Presentation of all the UdG Services that must be useful during your stay

Exchange/mobility students are asked to bring the following documents with them:

• Identity card or passport 
• European health insurance card (european students) / Health Insurance (non european students)
• Learning agreement
