Registration and Enrollment

Academic registration

Academic registration refers to the inclusion of every student's essential data in UFMG's academic control system and is a prerequisite for later enrolment.

Academic registration is carried out at UFMG even before the international undergraduate student arrives in Brazil. In the case of international postgraduate students, academic registration is only carried out after their arrival in the country, by submitting documentation to the Office of International Affairs (DRI) for checking and forwarding to the Academic Registration and Control Department (DRCA), the body responsible for registration.

In order to enroll at UFMG, personal and academic details are required. It is also necessary to provide an Individual Taxpayer Registration (CPF) number. It is advisable for international students to check with the agency responsible for issuing the relevant visa that the CPF can be issued while they are still in their country of origin.

Once the academic registration has been completed, the international student will receive an identification number at UFMG, which is necessary for subsequent enrollment.

Check-in

Check-in is the delivery of the documentation needed to register at the university, once the foreign student has arrived in Brazil. The deadline for submitting the documents is announced in the International Student Orientation Week (SOEI). Here is the list of documents required:

1- Digital copy of passport (identification sheet)
2- Digital copy of VITEM IV student visa (or relevant visa)
3- Digital copy of health insurance
4- Digital copy of the National Migration Registration Card (CRNM)
5- Digital copy of the Individual Taxpayer's Register (CPF)
6- Proof of enrolment at UFMG
7- Digital copy of diploma (only for postgraduate students)
8- Proof of address in Brazil

Note: For exchange students of Brazilian nationality, additional documents may be required. If you have any questions, please contact the International Admissions Office.

Enrollment

Enrollment, on the other hand , must be carried out by the students themselves, at the Collegiate of the course or Program to which the international student will be linked at UFMG, on a previously scheduled date and time, within the deadlines established by the university. The enrollment period usually takes place after UFMG's International Student Orientation Week (SOEI).

Enrollment guarantees a reserved spot in an official academic activity at UFMG. Only after completing their enrollment do international students regularize their academic status at UFMG and gain access to the university's facilities, including most university libraries, the University Sports Centre (CEU), and the University Restaurants (with a student discount), among others. Enrolment is, above all, the official academic link between the student and the university, and is therefore a necessary condition for taking credits at the university of origin. You therefore need to be aware of the deadlines for enrolling in the subjects of your desired courses.

ATTENTION!

Enrolment in the subjects selected by the international student in their study plan approved by UFMG will be subject to the availability of places.
