The creation of the UMinho Electives aims to promote creativity, reflective and critical thinking necessary for the analysis of contemporary issues, the generation of innovative and sustainable solutions, and the full and active participation of students in society.
UMinho Electives work on a semester basis, in the 1st or 2nd semesters, as per the course syllabus, corresponding to a total of 5 or 6 ECTS. Every year a variable number of courses is offered by different schools / institutes.
The enrolment in Option UMinho is held at the Academic Portal simultaneously with the registration process in the school year.
Enrolment in the Academic Year 2016/2017
Enrolment period:
2 September (from 14.00) to 7 September
Enrolment location:
Academic Portal (https://alunos.uminho.pt/)
Procedure:
The selection of course units within the UMinho Electives is carried out simultaneously with the enrolment process in the academic year in question, and the vacancies for those course units are filled on a first come, first served basis.
During the enrolment process, a course unit of the UMinho Electives must be selected within the list of course units with available vacancies at that moment.
All course units within the UMinho Electives are offered in both campuses (Gualtar and Azurém) and they operate on a full-time and evening schedule.
In order to guarantee enrolment in the desired course unit, students should enrol in the academic year in question as soon as possible.
We remind you that:
1) Enrolment in UMinho Electives is exclusively for students whose study plans contain this course unit. Students may not enrol in this course unit as an extracurricular course unit or as a free option.
2) The optional course units that do not have a minimum of 20 students enrolled do not meet the required conditions to operate.
Since the Academic Services regularly update/correct enrolment processes due to pending administrative processes (accreditation processes, grade registers, enrolment processes after deadline, amongst others), students should regularly check their enrolment process in this Portal.
