Welcome to the University of Valencia. You have been selected through the Erasmus Programme to join our University during the academic year 2012/2013 (2nd semester). Here you have a brief guide that will help you with the administrative procedure and requirements you have to fulfil on different occasions:
- First step: arrival
- Second step: confirm your Learning Agreement
- Third step: enrolling
- Hours of operation
- Accommodation
- Spanish and Catalan (Valencian) courses
- Study permits
- End of attendance
FIRST STEP: ARRIVAL
If you are an Erasmus student coming to the Blasco Ibáñez Campus or the Tarongers Campus, you should present yourself at the International Relations Office, Avenida Menéndez Pelayo, 3, Ground Floor, 46010 Valencia, to register your arrival as soon as you get to Valencia. (If you are an Erasmus student coming to the Burjassot Campus, you should present yourself at the International Relations Office located inside the Library Building "Biblioteca de Ciències" at Burjassot Campus, Avenida Doctor Moliner, 50, 46100 Burjassot.) You will be provided with a provisional student card and some other useful information about the University.
The start of the second semester has been set for 4th February, 2013. We therefore recommend that you arrange to arrive in Valencia in advance. Your visit to our office will be your initial point of contact with the University of Valencia.
Only for Erasmus students coming to the Blasco Ibáñez Campus or the Tarongers Campus:
We are sorry to say that crowded line-ups and waiting time are commonplace in the days prior to the start of the academic year. To avoid this as far as possible, you can make an appointment beforehand by selecting the date and time to come to the International Relations Office.
Please look for your name on one of the lists of accepted students at the top of this page. If you find your name and if your university sent us your e-mail address, you will be able to apply for an appointment from 1st December on. You will have to use this form, where you will enter your e-mail address (the one where you received your A/F) in the relevant box and click on the magnifying glass on the right to get your data. Your names are partially hidden for your security.
Choose the date carefully as you can apply only for one appointment.
Students without appointment will be attended by the International Relations Office in the order determined by the numbered ticket dispenser situated in the office hall. To take a ticket you must first select the INCOMING STUDENTS option. However, we cannot assure that you will be attended on that same day, as our service capacity is limited. We thus recommend that appointments be made beforehand.
SECOND STEP: CONFIRM YOUR LEARNING AGREEMENT
The Exchange Coordinator for your field of studies will assist you with academic issues and the confirmation of your Learning Agreement. Remember that you must bring an initial proposal, signed by the academic coordinator from your home university. Here you will find a list of the academic coordinators for the University of Valencia.
THIRD STEP: ENROLLING
At your home university or faculty you will have been given instructions regarding the procedure for enrolling in the courses that you decide to take at the University of Valencia. Enrolling usually takes place one or two weeks after the beginning of classes so that students can be sure of the courses they wish to take. However you are free to attend all the classes you wish until you enrol. Remember that it is compulsory that students enrol for at least 50% of their credits in the same field of study and in the faculty to which you have been nominated by your home university.
In some cases you will have to take along two passport-sized pictures (3x3 cm) and a photocopy of your passport or identity card so that your permanent student card can be generated. This card will entitle you to full library services and discounts (sports centre, theatres, museums, etc). You will also receive a username and password for your UV online student account with which you will be able to access online services and your personal email account. You will also be given a bill (to be paid at Bankia or any other bank or financial institution) for the amount of around 8 Euros (administrative charges).
HOURS OF OPERATION
Hours of operation at the International Relations Office, as well as at the secretarial offices of the different faculties or schools are from 9 to 14 from Monday to Friday.
Academic coordinators have their own office hours for students. Hours of availability can be found at each coordinators’ respective department.
ACCOMMODATION
The University of Valencia has no accommodation service. The SEDI (Information Service) maintains a catalogue with information about lodging in Valencia and in Burjassot open to students. This catalogue may be obtained at the SEDI offices or by sending an email to allotjament@uv.es. You will find more information about lodging in the Accommodation Section of our web site and in The University Guide for Foreign Students.
SPANISH AND CATALAN (VALENCIAN) COURSES

Centre d'Idiomes (Language Centre)

46010 Valencia
secretaria@centreidiomes.es
http://www.centreidiomes.es
The Language Centre offers a special discount to Erasmus students. You do not need any certificate to get this discount. The International Relations Office will provide the Centre d’Idiomes a list of accepted Erasmus students. Please consult the website to see the dates for the courses offered.
You can also ask for free Catalan (Valencian) language courses in the Servei de Política Lingüística (Language Policy Service).
STUDY PERMITS

END OF ATTENDANCE
By the time you end your stay at the Universitat de València, just before your departure, you should pick up your certificate of attendance personally at the International Relations Office, Avenida Menéndez Pelayo, 3, Ground Floor 46010 Valencia. (If you are an Erasmus student coming to the Burjassot Campus, you should pick up your certificate of attendance personally at the International Relations Office located inside the Library Building "Biblioteca de Ciències" at Burjassot Campus, Avenida Doctor Moliner, 50, 46100 Burjassot.) You must be aware that you may lose your grant and probably have to return the money you got as an Erasmus student if you don't provide your International Relations Office with this document.
