Pre-enrolment
What is pre-enrolment?
Every academic year the Schools and Faculties set a maximum number of students that they can accept. This has led to the creation of a system for determining what requisites students must fulfil in order to be accepted by the centres of their choice.
This system is firmly based on the idea that students with higher grades (in both their pre-university studies and their admission exam) must have preference when it comes to choosing a degree. In order for the Schools and Faculties to be aware of the demand for each degree, students have to submit a form (called a pre-enrolment form) before a certain deadline.
When does this take place?
Two different periods are set aside for pre-enrolment - one ordinary and the other extraordinary, also known as phase A and phase B, respectively. The former is for students who have finished their studies and/or passed the admission exams in June of that same year or in previous years. In this case the period for submitting the documents starts around the middle of June and finishes at the beginning of July.
The extraordinary phase, or phase B, takes place in September and is for students who have finished their studies and/or passed their admission exams in that same month. During this phase, students will only be able to apply for degree courses that still have vacancies after the pre-enrolments submitted in July have been processed.
How do I fill in the pre-enrolment form?
Pre-enrolment is done over the Internet. To do so, you will need a computer connected to the Internet and a printer. If you do not have these resources at home, you can carry out the pre-enrolment process from your secondary school or from the university that you have chosen as your first option.
It is very easy. Go to the following website:
And click on the application. Fill in the details you are asked to provide (if you leave any blank fields, the application will not allow you to print the document). If you have any doubts, don't worry, the programme includes an assistant that guides you through the pre-enrolment process.
Once you have finished, you must print two copies.
Where do I submit it?
There is a different procedure for each type of access to university:
- 1. Students coming from Spanish Secondary Studies who have passed the admission exams in the present year and students from Post-Secondary Vocational Training must submit their pre-enrolment form at the centre (secondary school) where they did their studies. 1.

When are the results announced?
The list of acceptances in phase A is made known towards the half of July. If you are not on the list of acceptances in the degree you gave as your first choice, then you are put on the waiting list.
Once you have been accepted you are taken off the waiting lists for the other degrees you stated as your second (or later) choices. Any vacancies left by students who were accepted by a centre but, come September, have not yet registered can be taken by those on the waiting list.
The list of acceptances for phase B is made known towards the end of September. You will have to get in contact with the Secretary's Office in the centre where you have been accepted so that they can tell you how and where to register.
