The University of Santiago de Compostela has a university participation and integration service (SEPIU) (http://www.usc.es/gl/servizos/sepiu) which works on the integration of people with discapacities and provides support for the development of curricular adaptations, as well as a protocol for their integration in the university community.

The USC has designed a reception plan in every center based on several points:

a) A special informative session given by the dean's team on the first day of the academic year, in which details about the functioning of the Faculty and general orientations about the study plan are explained.

b) This session concludes with the assignment to each group of ten students a student-tutor that stays with them during the whole afternoon and keeps them up to date with the academic and university life. The tutoring begins the first day of the academic year and goes on for the whole academic year.

The participation of the administration and services personnel in the student support and orientation system should also be mentioned.

The USC has a student-tutor program for the undergraduate degrees, so that final year students, after receiving training from the University, can perform orientational tasks to students initiating their studies.

Information about student-tutor program:

When a degree suspension occurs, the USC guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.

If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.

Access to Bachelor’s Degree programmes is granted to students with the following degrees/ diplomas or studies, or any other recognized as equivalent to these:
A.1. Spanish Bachiller, European Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate.
A.2. Baccalaureate from European Union Member States’ education systems or other countries withinternational agreements.
A.3. Advanced Technician in Vocational Training, Advanced Technician in Plastic Arts and Design orAdvanced Technician in Sports Education, from the Spanish Education System.
