Guidelines for International Graduate Students

International students will only be enrolled in the Graduate programs upon presentation of the National Migration Registration (RNM) or RNM protocol, the Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF) card or protocol with the CPF number, as well as a student visa.
International students who study for more than one year must present, each year, the protocol for the renewal of the CRNM (National Migration Registration Certificate).
The Graduate School Office will not issue the degree if the defense takes place while the student’s visa is expired or if the student holds a tourist visa.
