from the date of enrollment to submit proof of the diploma revalidation request; failure to comply
with this deadline may result in cancellation of enrollment. It should also be noted that neither
housing nor housing assistance will be provided by UFAL or by the Graduate Program in Physics.

§ 1 Only for enrollment in the current selection process, a candidate may replace the diploma
or course completion certificate with a declaration issued by a higher education institution
stating that the candidate has completed the course. However, the diploma presentation is
mandatory for registration in Master's and Doctorate (PhD) courses. In case the diploma has
not yet been issued, a document proving undergraduate completion will be accepted
provisionally (where it appears that the student has already obtained a degree and the date of
graduation) or a master's degree (with a copy of the master's dissertation and defense
minutes attached); course completion certificates are only valid for a period recognized by
UFAL for six months from the date of issue. After this period, the graduate student must
present a copy of the diploma.
Only for candidates who intend to request subject equivalence to analyze the
academic record evaluation criteria in Annex 2 of the notice, the syllabus for each subject
considered equivalent must be sent (stamped and signed by the course coordinator or
digitally certified).
