Timetables and registration:

During the process of reconfirming your choice of courses (1-31 August, or 1-31 January, you will also be able to select a Spanish language course, as long as you completed the online level test on time.

The most basic and advanced levels (A1, C1) usually have only one timetable choice, while lower intermediate and upper-intermediate classes (levels A2, B2 and B2) normally have 2 to 4 different groups (timetable options).

For reasons beyond the control of UPV, the timetables of the Spanish language courses announced in July-August for the period September-January are only provisional. Some of the groups may experience a slight change before the beginning of classes. Should this happen, all students will be informed and there will be a few days for adjustments in the course enrollment.

Please note that the number of spots in the Spanish language classes is limited for each level and each timetable choice.
