Documentation

Important notice for all students who are entitled to a discount or gratuity for tuition fees:

You must send any accrediting documentation for fee exemptions or discounts using the following form:

Documentation form provided by your academic-management office.

In which circumstances is it necessary to send documentation for accrediting a discount or gratuity? 

  • If the UAB already has current valid information you do not need to resend it (because you presented it at a different UAB centre the previous year, for example).
  • If the UAB has the documentation, but it is not valid, you must submit the new documentation, except if this documentation is a family concession card issued in Catalonia.

Afterwards, you must present the original or an authorised copy in person or by certified mail to your Academic Management Office before 7 November. Applicants who do not present the original documents by this date the registration fees will be modified and the corresponding amount charged.

Deadlines for Submitting Documentation

Students who are not in their first year need only present documentation relating to gratuities or discounts if these have expired, and their renewal has not previously been submitted. If you are 28 years of age or older, you must present the original and a copy of insurance that covers health care, accidents, and civil liability, and which is valid in Spain. If you wish, you can take out complementary insurance offered by the UAB at enrolment.

  • For certain subjects or degrees, it is mandatory to take out complementary insurance, which will be pre-selected at enrolment.
  • In cases where a subject requires being in contact with minors, at the start of the course, you must submit a certificate of absence of sexual offences to the centre where this subject is taught. This certifies the absence of crimes of a sexual nature. This information appears on-screen when enrolling.

Documents required for registration, but which do not need to be sent:

  • Social Security affiliation number. During the registration process you can fill in the box NUSS (Social Security affiliation number). It is no essential to fill in this box nor to present any documents. However, this information will be required by the Academic Management Office before you do any work placements.

In September, you will have to re-submit the application form to update the data indicating the degree and university in which you have enrolled.

Equity grant Once the academic year has started, if you have not yet applied for the general grant or if you do not meet the academic requirements, you can apply for an Equity grant through AGAUR.
This grant is for qualifying undergraduate and profession-oriented master's degree students.

If your grant application is rejected, regardless of whether you can lodge an appeal against this, you must precautionarily pay the corresponding fee in a single payment, which will be charged to your bank account from the date of the application’s resolution.
