Selection Process - Special Student

(Pre-)registration for special students at IC will be from 01/12 to 15/01/2025 to take subjects at first half of 2025. The online pre-registration program will be available only during this period. Read the information below carefully.

Unicamp undergraduate students (especially IC students - Engineering or Computer Science)

Registrations accepted only for participants of the PIF (Integrated Training Program).

  • For postgraduate courses offered in conjunction with undergraduate courses, it is not necessary to enroll in the IC's internal selection process as long as the student obtains a place in the associated undergraduate course. All the student needs to do is register as a special student in the subject through SIGA in this link . If the student is enrolled in the undergraduate course he will automatically be accepted into the associated post course.
  • For post courses without joint offer with undergraduate students must enroll in the internal selection process (link at the bottom of the page)
  • If the student has already taken the undergraduate course corresponding to Post in this offer and is prevented from enrolling again in the undergraduate course, he must enroll in the selection process (link at the bottom of the page)

General candidates (graduates only):

Through pre-registration in the selection process (procedure below).

Registration

register here and follow the instructions strictly, step by step. 

Important: The link above deals with the IC application and internal selection process. Those candidates who pass must subsequently enroll in the Unicamp's special student system. It is through the Unicamp system that the student will have his registration effective.

Candidates are expected to be committed to following the subjects or withdrawal within the deadline (to avoid failure). The history of subjects previously taken by the candidate as a special student will be evaluated and in case of previous failures, the application may be rejected.

If in doubt, send a message to sec-pos (at) ic.unicamp.br with the subject "Doubts - Special Student".
