The university pre-enrolment process

The university pre-enrolment process must be completed in order to be admitted to the first year of study at any of the seven
public universities of Catalonia (the University of Barcelona, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Polytechnic University of
Catalonia, Pompeu Fabra University, the University of Girona, the University of Lleida, and Rovira i Virgili University) or the University
of Vic.

The University Pre-enrolment can be completed online at http://accesnet.gencat.net

The University Pre-enrolment process is a coordinated system for distribution of university places and ensures equal conditions
for students entering the first year of any university course - whether official courses, approved courses or non-regulated "títols
propis".

This system is not used for admission to second cycle studies.

When a student completes the university pre-enrolment process, he/she can apply for up to 8 preferences (different programmes
or centres).
The order of interest must be indicated.

Example: a student who wishes to study biology could choose, as his/her first preference, the biology programme at the University of
Girona; and as a second preference, the biology programme at the University of Barcelona, etc. or another study programme (pharmacy,
environmental sciences, or advertising and public relations, for example).

Application to the admission process is compatible with applications to private universities and for distance learning studies or studies
in other Autonomous Regions of Spain (under the Districte Obert programme). However, students can only enrol in one centre.

Simultaneous studies

University students can apply for simultaneous studies provided that this is permitted by the specific regulations of each university. If
such studies are permitted, students must complete the pre-enrolment process.

Changing university to continue with the same study programme

Students who have completed the first year of study or who have acquired 60 credits of study at a Spanish university and who wish
to continue with the same study programme at a different university must apply directly to the institution concerned for admission and
be accepted by that centre prior to completing the admissions process.

Disabled students

3% of all places are reserved for students with a recognised degree of disability of 33% or more, or total loss of speech or hearing,
Accreditation of the degree of disability is via the certificate of the Institut Català d'Assistència i Serveis Socials (ICASS).

Students recognised as hight-level sportsmen and women

1% of places in any field of university education are reserved for students recognised as high-level sportsmen and women. 5% of
places are reserved for these same students in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and they are exempt from taking the personal fitness
test. Those considered to be high-level sportsmen and women appear in the listings of the Consell Català de l'Esport and Consell Superior
d'Esports published in the DOGC and BOE respectively, prior to June 15 of the current year. Accreditation is issued on presentation of
a photocopy of the corresponding DOGC or BOE.

Admission to second cycle studies

For admission to second cycle studies that differ from those completed in the first cycle, applications for admission must be directed to the
centre where the desired programme is offered: second cycle places are not allocated via the university pre-enrolment process.

Regulations

Royal decree 69/2000, of January 21st, which regulates procedures for selection and admission to universities for students who meet the
legal requirements. (Official State Gazette number 19, January 22, 2000 - spanish version).

Appeals

Any student may make a formal appeal within the period established for each entrance exam, even though the student has not been allocated
a place.

All appeals must be accompanied by a photocopy of the application form and a claim explaining in detail the grounds for the appeal.
