An Extracurricular Unit is a UC attended from a study plan that does not belong to the study plan of the course in which the student is enrolled and registered at the University of Évora.

Students may enroll in Extracurricular Units as long as their enrollment in these units and in the UCs of the study plan in which they are enrolled does not exceed 60 accumulated ECTS.

Under the terms of Decree-Law no. 65/2018 of August 16th:

• Isolated Curricular Units and extracurricular units of the same study cycle can only be credited up to a maximum limit of 50% of the total ECTS of the bachelor's degree or the number of ECTS of the curricular component of the master's degree or doctorate.
• Each student can register for a maximum of 60 accumulated credits in Isolated and Extracurricular Curricular Units of the same study cycle throughout their academic career.

In the case of attending extracurricular courses in subsequent study cycles (example: 1st cycle student attending extracurricular courses in the 2nd cycle), the Curricular Units in which the student succeeds will be credited if the student enrolls and registers in the study cycle of the respective extracurricular UC, without the above limit applying.

Students enrolled and registered in a UÉ study cycle may enroll in a UC of the same or a different degree, subject to the following conditions in the case of UCs in subsequent study cycles:

• 1st cycle students may enroll in 2nd cycle courses, provided they have 60 or fewer ECTS remaining to complete the 1st cycle;
• 2nd cycle students with a duration of 4 semesters or MI can enroll in 3rd cycle courses, provided they have 60 or fewer ECTS remaining to complete the course;
• 2nd cycle students with a duration of 3 semesters can enroll in 3rd cycle courses, provided they have 30 or fewer ECTS remaining to complete the course.

Enrollment in extracurricular units presupposes enrollment in at least one UC of the course in which the student is enrolled and will not be counted either in the awarding of a degree or academic diploma, nor for academic achievement, nor for applying for a scholarship or merit scholarship.

The request for enrollment in Extracurricular Units is made through the SIIUE in the student's profile, similar to the procedure carried out for enrollment in the normal academic year, but must be selected in the “Extracurricular” enrollment type, by the deadlines defined in the Academic Procedures Calendar for each academic year.
