Students enrolled in Iscte courses can benefit from a range of support with a view to promoting more favorable study conditions and thus contributing to academic achievement:
Students who have a physical, sensory or other disability, with a duly proven degree of disability equal to or greater than 60%, benefit from a set of supports that can be consulted in more detail here.
Registration and registration are not the same thing. Enrollment turns a candidate into an Iscte student, but, in itself, does not entitle him to attend a course. The student, once enrolled, must register to be able to attend the curricular units of their course.
Enrollment is only done once, at the beginning of the course. Registration must be completed every academic year.
Enrollment and registration of candidates accepted for Iscte courses is done electronically on the Fénix+ platform. It may be necessary to physically present documents at the Education Management Services.
Deadlines for registration vary, and should be consulted in the academic calendar available on this portal.
The management of students' academic processes is ensured by the Education Management Services (SGE).
The SGE are divided into units and areas, by level of education (degree; master's degree and postgraduate training; doctorate), and the student must contact the one that manages their course.
The quickest way to obtain information about your academic career, including tuition fees, is the student portal on the platform Phoenix+. For other situations, you can contact the services, in person or by telephone, within the respective opening hours, or by email, in which case the institutional address must be considered exclusively.
The face-to-face service for the SGE public operates during the hours mentioned on this page under “service”, but requires an appointment. Appointment is online. See here.
Yes, as long as there are vacancies, and in accordance with the academic calendar.
The figure of freezing enrollment does not exist.
There is the figure of withdrawal. Students who wish to abandon the course in which they enrolled/enrolled must formalize a withdrawal request via Fénix+ and comply with its terms.
Students who submit a withdrawal request by the end of the 1st semester must ensure that their tuition fee status is regularized by the date they submit the request. Students who submit their withdrawal request after the end of the 1st semester are owed the full tuition fee.
A student who does not wish to continue their studies in a given academic year must submit a withdrawal request.
Withdrawal from the year, if accepted and the terms thereof are complied with, allows the student to enroll in the following year or submit an application for re-entry to the same course, or a course that followed it, in subsequent years.
The withdrawal request must be submitted via:
Fénix+ > General application
In the same way, and in accordance with the provisions of the Iscte Tuition Regulations, in the case of withdrawal at the student's request, the following payments are due:
Re-entry can be requested when a student, after interrupting studies in a specific course and higher education institution, intends to enroll in the same course and at the same institution. Re-admission can only be requested for the course that was interrupted or for the one that followed it, as long as the student has not canceled their enrollment. Re-entry is not subject to quantitative limitations.
The readmission request is subject to a fee, in accordance with the fee table in force, as well as compliance with the deadlines defined for this purpose.
Students who, at Iscte, have interrupted pre-Bologna master's degrees, and wish to resume their studies, must make a new application. In these cases, re-entry does not apply.
Yes.
The tuition fee for undergraduate courses is defined annually, in line with the State Budget. The fees for master's, doctoral and non-degree courses vary and can be found on the institution's portal.
International student status is an exception. Bachelor's and Master's students with international status have a different tuition fee, which must be consulted on the institution's portal.
The tuition fee can be paid in one payment at the time of enrollment/registration with a reduction of 2%, or in 9 installments, and always relates to one academic year, regardless of the cycle or study program in which the student enrolls or its duration.
The 2% deduction for full payment of the The fee is only assumed by the system when all tuition installments are selected within 5 days following the regular date of enrollment or the date of registration.
Students with international status are asked to pay the tuition fee in one installment, with payment in stages being possible, as long as it is requested in Fénix+ (50% upon enrollment and the remainder in 3 installments).
National or similar students:
The tuition fee can be paid in one payment at the time of enrollment/registration with a reduction of 2%, or in 9 installments, and always relates to one academic year, regardless of the study cycle or program in which the student enrolls or its duration.

The installment scheme and respective ATM references for payment are generated by the student himself, at:
Fénix+ > Student portal > myIscte > Services > Current account
Non-payment of the tuition fee implies:
No. Amounts due as tuition fees are not subject to refund, as are amounts paid as part of an application.
The academic acts and official documents that require the payment of fees are listed in the Iscte Fees Table currently in force.
Transferring to part-time study consists of enrolling in a smaller number of curricular units compared to the course's study plan, a number that cannot exceed 36 credits.
Any Iscte student can request a change in study regime as long as this option exists in the study cycle in which the student enrolls. The request is made annually at the time of online registration, or on a specific form in the SGE, and the student must indicate the curricular units he intends to attend and be evaluated.
Part-time is requested at the time of registration, in Fénix+. Part-time is requested annually, if the student so wishes.
Students who wish to request part-time after registration must make their request via Fénix+ > myFenix > Services > Requests
All requests for academic documents must be made via Fénix > Student > Academic requests > Academic document request
The request generates the respective fee per entity and reference, which must be paid in accordance with the information provided.
There are academic documents that require verification of the services. In these cases, the request is pending verification and availability of the respective fee. The student is notified by email upon verification.
Special statutes must be exclusively submitted via Fénix+ > myFenix > Services > Applications
The supporting documentation for each request, if made up of more than one document, must be placed in a .zip file. Consult the documentation supporting the request before submitting it. Only one status application can be submitted at a time.
The application can be approved or rejected. When the request is denied, the system sends a message with the reasons for rejection.
The student must wait 3 working days until it is possible to submit a new request.
Iscte recently published the Regulations for Students with Special Status, with the aim of bringing together in the same document the rights enjoyed by Iscte students whose profile or situation falls within the envisaged statutes. Consult it to find out the scope, benefits and procedures of each of the statutes.
Iscte regulations are available for consultation here: https://www.iscte-iul.pt/conteudos/estudantes/informacao-academica/regulamentos-formularios/1025/regulamentos
Students wishing to benefit from special status must submit their request via Fénix+. Its recognition depends on the delivery and verification of the documentation to be attached to the electronic request.
The following special statutes are foreseen:
In addition, students are also considered covered in the following situations:
The evaluation method of a curricular unit is defined by its coordinator, and must include one, or more, of the following evaluation methods that must appear in the Curricular Unit Form (FUC), with at least one formal individual evaluation test being mandatory:
Note that individual or group work will only be considered effectively delivered after confirmation of receipt by the teacher, in accordance with FUC. If there is no confirmation, students should contact the teacher.
Yes. If the FUC contemplates the final assessment modality (by exam), the student who has failed the periodic assessment is immediately considered for the 2nd season exam.
The FUC must define the evaluation modalities. If only continuous assessment or periodic assessment is defined, students will have to comply with what was determined by the UC Coordinator. If you have failed one of the assessment methods (continuous/periodic) and there is no final assessment by exam, students will have to repeat the UC assessment.
The academic calendar provides for 3 evaluation periods, and all students regularly enrolled in the study cycle are automatically enrolled in the normal period or, if they do not attend this, in the appeal period:
To be admitted to the final exam in a curricular unit, the student must be regularly enrolled and meet the attendance conditions set out in the general rules for assessing knowledge and skills. All students in this situation are automatically enrolled in the 1st and 2nd exam period, that is, if the student fails a curricular unit in the 1st period, they are enrolled in the 2nd period.
The exam period is published annually in the academic calendar, and there are therefore specific deadlines for registration in grade improvement exams and in a special period - in these cases the student must go to the SGE.
The modalities of evaluation, the periods foreseen for evaluation, publication of results, consultation and review of evidence, among others, are defined in Regulation no. 499/2018 (general Iscte).
According to article 19 of Iscte's General Regulations for the Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (499/2018), when a student disagrees with the classification obtained in the final assessment of a UC, they can file an appeal.
The use of successfully completed UCs is called accreditation.
Accreditation consists of the possibility for an institution to recognize previously completed training and professional experience through the attribution of credits.
By recognizing acquired skills and previously completed training, accreditation allows the student to progress or complete their higher education course more quickly, in exact proportion to the recognition granted. The decision on accreditation is the responsibility of the scientific committee of the school to which the course in which the student is regularly enrolled belongs, and depends on that body's understanding regarding the relevance of the subjects taught for the course in question.
Yes and no. The student whose request for accreditation is granted is always exempt from attending the credited curricular units, but his/her diploma of completion of studies will be different depending on the type of accreditation that was granted, whether by substitution, equivalence or exemption.
The credit request is submitted via Fénix+ > myFenix > Services > Applications
The supporting documentation for each request, if made up of more than one document, must be placed in a .zip folder.
The SGE is responsible for the exclusively technical analysis of the credit request. If the request is correctly instructed, the teams approve it for processing.
The “approval” message does not mean that the accreditation request is approved, but rather that it can proceed for scientific analysis by the specialized committee.
The statute of limitations is the loss of the right to enroll when the student, regularly enrolled, does not meet academic achievement criteria.
Master's students who do not complete the course in N+4 enrollments, and who wish to continue studies, must make a request for re-entry, and must wait for one academic year (two semesters) after the last enrollment.
Yes. Upon successful completion of the curricular component of a master's degree, a postgraduate studies diploma, which does not award a degree, is awarded; in the case of a doctorate, a 3rd cycle advanced studies diploma is awarded in the branch of knowledge or specialty of the study cycle, which does not award a degree; in the case of a bachelor's degree, upon successful completion of the 1st and 2nd years, a 1st cycle higher studies diploma is awarded.
The degree of bachelor, master or doctor is only awarded to those who, through approval in all curricular units that make up the course's study plan, and approval in the public act of defense of the dissertation/project work or thesis, in the case of master's degrees and doctorates, respectively, have obtained the number of credits fixed.
The student who completes a degree, master's degree or doctorate, i.e., obtains approval in the curricular units that make up the study plan, as well as, for master's and doctorate degrees, respectively, in the public act of defense of the dissertation/project work or thesis, may request the issuance of a diploma of completion of studies and a course letter.
Any of these documents can be requested from the SGE, upon payment of the respective fee.
All requests for academic documents must be made via Fénix > Student > Academic requests > Academic document request
The request generates the respective fee per entity and reference, which must be paid in accordance with the information provided.
There are academic documents that require services to be verified. In these cases, the request is pending verification and availability of the respective fee. The student is notified by email upon verification.
The recognition in Portugal of academic degrees and higher education diplomas awarded by foreign higher education institutions is regulated by Decree-Law nº. 66/2018. This Decree-Law came into force in January 2019 and revokes the previous legislation, as well as its nomenclatures (equivalence, recognition and registration)
There are three types of recognition in Portugal.
There are three types of recognition in Portugal.
The automatic recognition is the fastest of all (30 days after complete instruction of the process), but only applies to the degrees that are listed of this table. It can be submitted to any public higher education institution, regardless of its scientific areas. The certificate produced recognizes the degree obtained by the applicant, but not the area of the degree.
level recognitionapplies to degrees that that do not appearof this table. It can only be submitted to a public higher education institutionthat teaches the same course, or a related course. As with automatic recognition, the certificate produced recognizes the degree obtained by the applicant, but not the degree area. This type of recognition can take up to 90 days after completing the process, or 30 days in cases of level recognition with precedence.
The specific recognition can only be submitted to a public higher education institution that teaches the same course, or a related course. Specific recognition recognizes a foreign degree identical to a Portuguese degree, through the analysis of learning objectives, curricular units completed and their respective program contents, workload, etc. The certificate produced recognizes not only the degree obtained by the applicant, but also the specific field. This type of recognition can take up to 90 days after the process has been completed.
In general, the applicant can choose any higher education institution in which he/she wishes to submit the request, however the following aspects must be observed when choosing the institution in which the level and specific recognition is requested:
Requests for recognition, regardless of the type, are formalized via online form, and requests that are not processed through this route will not be accepted.
When filling out the form, the applicant indicates the institution to which they would like to submit their request.
As a public Higher Education Institution, Iscte receives and analyzes requests for recognition, as long as they are in the area or area related to the courses taught by the institution*.
*in the case of automatic recognition, this criterion is obviated, and the request may relate to a degree or diploma in areas not related to the courses taught by the institution.
Yes, some Iscte 2nd cycle master's and 3rd cycle PhD courses allow professional teachers, integrated into their career, to reduce the length of service legally required for progression to the next level.
The list of recognized and unrecognized courses can be consulted at DGAE - Acquisition of other qualifications (medu.pt)
