Detailed Information

Admission

The decision on the acceptance of admission as a refugee is the responsibility of the Chamber of Undergraduate Education – CEG, based on a detailed opinion of the Collegiate of the corresponding Undergraduate Course. To meet the requirements for admission to the requested undergraduate course, idle vacancies resulting from dismissal, transfer of students to other HEIs or remnants of the entrance exam will be used, that is, there must be a vacancy in the intended course. The refugee may only obtain a place at UnB, in this condition, only once and will have the same rights and duties as other UnB students, observing the statutory and regimental rules and this resolution. The presentation of documentation proving the education corresponding to high school in the Brazilian educational system is an essential part of the analysis of the refugee admission request. In the absence of documentation of schooling, it will be up to CONARE to certify the required schooling or it will be up to the candidate to submit to the means of admission provided by UnB. To apply for the application at UnB, the student will fill out the "general request" form, attach the documents listed and send it to saaatendimento@unb.br.
