Enrollment
Pre-enrolled candidates who wish to formalize their academic enrollment at the University must, within the indicated deadlines, follow these steps:

1.- Submit documentation: certify that they meet the requirements established by Spanish university legislation in order to start university studies.

2.- Formalize the enrollment process online: The self-enrollment service on the Nebrija website allows admitted students to carry out all academic, financial and administrative procedures within the established deadlines. For this, they will receive, along with their admission letter, the access code and personal password necessary to be able to carry out their self-enrollment. Once the self-enrollment is formalized, the candidate acquires the status of student of Nebrija University.

Conditional enrollment in Bachelor's degree studies

Once the homologation process has been resolved, the student must submit the documentation that accredits it.

Students will be able to enroll:

In Bachelor's degree studies, from 45 ECTS credits to a maximum of 90 ECTS credits per academic year, in the case of full-time study, and from a minimum 12 ECTS credits to less than 45 ECTS credits for those who study part-time.

The management of the Academic Department may authorize enrollment in a different number of credits for exceptional reasons.

Modification of enrollment

Enrollment modification is understood to be any change that occurs in a student's enrollment.

If the student, having been enrolled in a certain degree, subject, or program, decides to change his/her enrollment, he/she must request it by writing to the Registrar's Office for authorization. Said requests must be approved by the Academic Department.

A maximum period of 15 days is established after the effective start of the academic year and/or the second semester to request these changes. After this deadline, the student will not be able to make changes to his/her enrollment.

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of places offered, the student's academic record will be taken as an admission criterion (grade average).

Therefore, anyone interested in accessing the Bachelor's degree in Journalism must submit, without exception, their academic record, since its grade average will be what decides their admission to the Bachelor's degree, in the event that the number of applications exceeds to the number of places offered.

Once all places are full, if there are more people interested in accessing, they will be put on the waiting list for possible vacancies that may arise before the start of the academic year, in which the admission and selection criteria detailed in point 4 for the rest of applicants will be applied.
