Cases

A. At the University’s own initiative:

  1. Falsehood in the data provided by the applicant.
  2. Verification of the non-compliance with the requirements to access or continuing University Studies.
  3. Non-payment, in full or in part, of the fees due (check section 3: “Payment terms and deadlines - Consequences of non-payment”).

Cancellation of enrolment will become effective at the time at which falsehood is found or non-payment is confirmed, through the procedure set up for this purpose.

B. At the student’s request:

Enrolment can only be cancelled at the student’s request in cases of force majeure which make it impossible for students to continue their studies in the current academic year.

According to enrolment regulations, force majeure refers to:

  1. Illness
  2. Job or work-related issues
  3. Economic loss in the household
  4. Any other reason comparable to those above
  5. Visa application rejection

The request for cancellation due to force majeure can ask for:

  1. Full cancellation of enrolment.
  2. Partial cancellation.

In the case of partial cancellations, the resulting enrolment should comply with the minimum enrolment required in the article 12 of the Enrolment Regulations, depending on whether the student is full-time (36 ECTS) or part-time (24 ECTS) enroled.

In both cases partial and full cancellation of enrolment, the cause alleged must have occurred unexpectedly after the enrolment date.

Deadlines

The application form should be submitted within the deadlines established in the calendar of academic management.

Procedure

The application forms should be submitted through the corresponding procedure enabled in the online site of the University of Valencia.

Once the application for full or partial enrolment cancellation has been submitted, the Office of the Secretary of the corresponding centre will check if this is completed appropriately and if it is accompanied by the supporting documents of the “force majeure” alleged for cancelling the enrolment. Otherwise, the student will be required to rectify the application form.

The processing of these academic records require a report by the Dean or the Director of the centre, which along with the supporting documentation of the “force majeure” cause is sent to the general committee of cancellations, which will propose the resolution.

The Office of the Vice-principal for Graduates Studies decides upon the enrolment cancellations.

Once the academic record is processed, the Student Service may notify the resolution to the student and to the corresponding centre, which will proceed to regularize the enrolment in the academic record of the student.

The refund of tuition fees only applies to the cases in which it is deemed an application form for full or partial cancellation of the enrolment submitted before the 31 December of the beginning of the academic year.

Amendment of enrolment

Students can request the amendment of enrolment within the deadlines established for this purpose by each faculty or school.

Amendment of enrolment is normally restricted to the following duly justified cases: subjects passed or recognised after the enrolment period, completion of studies, addition of credits to qualify for a grant, or any other case established in the corresponding regulations.
