PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1999/1900

1. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PRE-REGISTRATION WITHIN THE VALENCIAN SELF-GOVERNING COMMUNITY

The Valencian Community Inter-University Council agreed, on 24th January 1992, the Valencian Community University Single District regarding students' admission. 

The agreement's most important objective was to unify the pre-registration proceedings at the Valencian Community several university centres. This would allow, on the one hand, to unify the existing places within the community, and on the other, speed up and simplify the proceedings established by Royal Decree 1005/91, on 14 June, by which proceedings to enter university centres are controlled. 

The agreement between the Regional Department of Culture, Education and Sciences and the universities within the Valencian Community on the students' admission process is therefore established in accordance to the previous paragraph and to the Royal Decree 1005/91 first additional provision. 

   The Agreements' main statements are the following: 

- To apply for admission at the Valencian Community (hereinafter called C.V.) university centres, in which the demand is higher than the places offered, applicants should list -by preference order and only one application- the centres or studies existing at C.V. centres in which they are willing to be admitted. 

- Priority will be given to the applications of those students who have passed the mature examinations at any of the C.V. universities, independently of the university to which the centre or study programme belongs. 

- Applications will be met according to the assessment phases and criteria established at at the Royal Decree 1005/91 (14 June), and universities will manage admission applications following the common proceedings.

2. RELEVANT ASPECTS ABOUT PRE-REGISTRATION. FAQs

Who is eligible to apply for a SINGLE DISTRICT place at the C.V.?

All those students willing to enter studies with limited places at the C:V. universities, should submit just one pre-registration application, according to the proceedings explained here. 

    1.- Pre-registration application within the month of June (pre-registration phase A) can be submitted by: see TERM: 

- All those students who have passed the University Entrance Examinations in June 1999 or within the previous years and be under one of the following circumstances described in section  REQUIREMENTS. 

- Students who have passed vocational studies, higher vocational training programmes or hold a higher studies degree before the pre-registration period end.

- Students who have not submitted pre-registration within the former period or, having presented it, have not been admitted in any of the studies applied for. They are only allowed to apply for studies with places available once the phase A applications have been met. (See the section REQUIREMENTS).

According to the Royal Decree 1005/91, universities will give priority to applications of those  students belonging to the university district. Accordingly, applications of students who duly justify a residence change or studies not taught at the university they belong to.

    Nevertheless, applications will be processed according the following preference order: 

1º. Students who have passed the University Entrance Examinations in the call of June of the current academic years, or previously (here are included the so many designations awarded to these examinations). 

2º. Students who have passed the University Entrance Examinations within the call of September and students who have passed the Higher Professional Training Programme in the call of September of the current academic year. 

3º. Students who have passed Pre-University Course or equivalent studies in the current call of June or previously. Only for admission to first cycle degrees.

4º. Students who have passed the Pre-University Course or equivalent studies in the current call of September.

The order to award places, once met the criteria shown above, will be achieved according to the final qualifications obtained at the University Entrance Examinations or at the students' record average qualification for the rest of the studies (Art. 5 from R.D. 1005/91, 14 June). 

The places' order and award criteria will be carried out by the universities, taking into account the  number of places percentages provided on the article 7, Royal Decree 1005/91, 14 June, book for foreign students (5 %), university degree holder (5 %), vocational studies (second grade), vocational studies (third grade) and higher professional training programmes (30%), physically handicapped persons (3 %) (R.D. 1060/92, 4 September), differently abled persons  (3 %) (R.D. 696/95,  28 April) high-ranking sportsmen/sportswomen (3 %) (R.D. 1856/95, 17 November), included in the list published by the BOE ( Spanish State Official Gazette). 
Under no circumstances, could university degree holders accede by a quota system different than the one provided on article 7.1.b) , from decree 1005/91. 

How many applications can I submit?

The single district student should SUBMIT ONLY ONE REGISTRATION FORM to apply for a place at one or several universities since it is a single system and more than one application would lead to the ANNULMENT OF THE SAME. 

The student is allowed to submit as many applications as they consider appropriate to those Spanish universities whose study programme match their interest. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that each university establishes its own criteria for terms and proceedings within the legal established framework. 

Besides, the student him/herself will be able to apply for a place -according to the Shared District-  in a university other than the one he/she have passed the University Entrance Examinations. 

How and when can I be informed on my application results?

The shortlist will be published at the University and on press during the second fortnight of July. 

Waiting lists can be consulted at the places determined by the university and, on each university Web site.

                Polytechnic University College of Valencia: www.upv.es
                University of Valencia: www.uv.es
                UniversityJaume I, in Castellón: sic.uji.es/siae/estudis/matricula/torn.htm
                University Miguel Hernández, in Elche: www.umh.es
                University of Alicante: www.ua.es

Moreover, you can be informed at 900 21 07 38. 

What should I do if I have been accepted in the first-option studies?

The student admitted in first option should fulfil registration form for the corresponding studies WITHIN THE PERIOD ESTABLISHED BY EACH UNIVERSITY to such effect. 

Once the period is expired without the student's corresponding registration, HE/SHE WILL  BE WAIVED THE RIGHT for the awarded place and it will be offered to the next student in the shortlist. 

What should I do if I have been admitted in my 2nd option or subsequent studies?

In the case of being admitted in the 2nd, 3rd or subsequent options, the student should: 

1º. duly accomplish registration for the studies where he/she has been admitted. Otherwise, he/she will be waived the place. 

2º. be listed in the 1st option choice immediately after the term for covering the 2nd option vacant is finished. In the case he/she is called to cover 1st option placement, he/she will immediately annul registration for 2nd option studies and, therefore, be registered to the centre where first option studies are attached. 

Example:

One student applying for: 

1º. Medicine. Valencia 
2º. Optics. Alicante 
3º. Technical Engineering in Industrial Design. Castellón

has  been accepted at the Optics University College of Alicante. Thus, his/her option has been waived and he/she is now in the waiting list for Medicine in Valencia. 

He/she should fulfil his/her registration form to the Optics University College of Alicante, otherwise, he/she will be waived the placement. Whether he/she would be accepted for the Faculty of Medicine in Valencia after accomplishing registration for the 2nd option, the later should be immediately annulled and subsequently, registered  to the Faculty of Medicine in Valencia.

In the case of being accepted for none of the options applied for, the student should remain in the waiting list for all the options. He/she should pay attention to the call for each option, established by the corresponding universities, according to registration terms. It is important to consider THE DIFFERENT TERMS FOR EACH UNIVERSITY AND, THEREFORE, THERE IS NEITHER SINGLE TERM FOR REGISTRATION NOR FOR WAITING LIST CALL TO COVER VACANCIES. 

Despite the above mentioned, whether the student is not allocated placement for any option,  HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO REPEAT THE APPLICATION WITHIN THE PERIOD OF OCTOBER (Phase B) for those studies where vacancies exist, once all applications for Phase A have been submitted . 

How and when should I complaint about the results?

The student has the right to lodge a complaint at the place specified within section COMPLAINTS. 

Nevertheless, MODIFICATIONS SHALL NOT BE ADMITTED for the already submitted and correctly proceeded applications.
