Undergraduate Admission
There are several ways to apply for admission to UFSC’s undergraduate programs as a degree-seeking student:
:: Vestibular
The Vestibular is the university entrance examination. It ranks applicants according to their performance and qualifies them for admission in the undergraduate programs. Foreign students can also take the exam. For further information, access COPERVE/UFSC website.
:: Unified Selection System (Sisu/MEC)
The Unified Selection System (Sisu) is a computerized system established by the Ministry of Education (MEC) through which Brazilian public higher education institutions offer seats to applicants according to their performance in the National Secondary School Examination (Enem). For further information, access Sisu/MEC website.
:: Transfer and Returning
Every semester, according to the academic calendar, the Student Administration Department (DAE) publishes a call for applications informing the seats available in each undergraduate program for external transfer (to students coming from other higher education institutions), returning (to students who already graduated from UFSC or other institution) and internal transfer (to students changing degree programs at UFSC). For further information, access DAE website.
:: Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação (PEC-G)
The PEC-G, officially created in 1965, provides students from developing countries with which Brazil maintains educational, cultural or scientific and technological agreements the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). For further information, access the Ministry of External Relations (MRE)’s website.
