§ 1 - At the time of enrollment, the disciplines taken at Unicamp prior to the current entry will be automatically recognized by the Academic Board, including those with a formal declaration of equivalence and are part of the current full curriculum. The student may request the Academic Board not to use electives.
§ 2 - In the case of courses previously taken at other HEIs, as well as courses at Unicamp that do not have a formal declaration of equivalence, the application must be submitted by the student to the Academic Board during the first semester of his current admission at Unicamp. Such request must be judged by the Undergraduate Coordinators responsible for the disciplines involved and responsible for the student's course.
