General terms and conditions

Beneficiaries: Official bachelor's-, master’s- or doctoral-degree students, depending on the case
Allowance or exemption: Demonstrated circumstances may exempt the student from paying the enrolment fee in full or entitle them to different discounts.

At affiliated centres, the discounts are applied to the price that students pay to the UdG as academic supervision (pursuant to Article 2.3 of the pricing decree).

Some prices linked to enrolment are mandatory and not subject to discounts: online teaching and administrative services (€70), school insurance (€1.12, only under 28s) and accident insurance (€5.75, over 28s only).
Accreditation: Before you register, click the self-enrolment’s "Grants and allowances" tab.If you have any demonstrated discount or exemption, you can enjoy the corresponding discount or exemption on the enrolment fee.Consult information on scholarships.

If you are entitled to discounts or exemptions that do not appear as accredited, start the accreditation procedure by clicking the corresponding "Request" button and attach the necessary documentation so that the secretary of your faculty or school can validate it (you can also use the online procedure "Documentary Accreditation").

The validation will be definitive if you provide electronic documents that allow their authenticity to be verified, either by digital signature, secure verification code (CSV) or QR code.Otherwise, the University reserves the right to ask you to submit the original documentation.
Comments: The proved conditions have to be valid in the moment that the enrolment is made.If the condition has been accredited in previous academic years and is still valid on the start date of the academic year (see the academic calendar), there will be no need to produce any documents.

If your documents are currently being processed or pending renewal, you will not be eligible for the discount or exemption on the enrolment fee, although the submission of updated documents will be accepted up to 31 December for subsequently regularising your situation.
