Enrolment

Regular enrolment 

The postgraduate student must make the enrolment for each academic period, according to the dates and deadlines set by the central bodies of USP, in all phases of their studies, until obtaining the title of either Master or Doctor. 

It is forbidden to charge fees for whatever reason, either for regular enrolment or for enrolment in subjects offered by the University, in the Master’s and Doctorate courses, of regularly enrolled students. 

It is forbidden the simultaneous enrolment in more than one Post-Graduation course of the University of São Paulo. 

Enrolment interruption and maternity/paternity leave 

The student regularly enrolled in a Master’s or Doctorate Course may request, upon justification and under the terms of art.46 of the Resolution nr.7493, dated March 27, 2018 (Post-Graduation Regulation from USP), the enrolment interruption for a period not exceeding 365 days, when temporarily unable to maintain his academic activities. 

The student enrolled in the Master’s or Doctorate Course will be able to take the maternity/paternity leave, during which the counting of the statutory regular terms is interrupted, from the date of birth or adoption. Requests after the acquisition period will not be accepted. 

New enrolment 

The incoming student who had been a Post-Graduation student before, at USP, and that was disconnected from the course, without having completed the Master’s or Doctorate, in any of the Programs, will have to make a new enrolment. For this, after being approved in the selection process, he must file the application for a new enrolment, which must be made with the following documents: 

I-Student’s justification  

II-Adviser’s consent (detailed opinion) 

III-Work plan approved by the adviser 

IV-School history of the previous course  

The new enrolment shall be released by the Post-Graduation Commission and registered in the Janus system, within a maximum period of 60 days from the date of the request. After that date, the student will lose the access to the Janus system and the course will be blocked. 

The student whose request is approved, will be considered a new student. Consequently, he must comply with all the requirements to which the incoming students are subject, being able to take advantage of the credits taken in the last 36 months, at the discretion of the adviser.
