Both at this School and throughout the University of Seville, registration is formalized online, through the Self-Registration process.
Access is through the Virtual User (UVUS).
If the formalization of enrollment cannot wait until the grade is recorded in your file, it is advisable to choose payment in installments so that once the enrollment and file are regularized, the amount paid for the subject(s) in question will be deducted from the second or subsequent installments and thus you will not have to request a refund.
The registration process for the Bachelor's/Master's Thesis is the same as for any other subject in the curriculum. Therefore, if it is not passed in the academic year in which it was registered, a new registration will be required.
However, for Master's Theses, the defense deadlines established by the University of Seville in the academic calendar must be taken into account.
Registrations made through the "Self-Registration" are valid from the moment they are completed.
However, failure to submit the required documentation will result in the cancellation of the registration, without any right to a refund of the fees paid.
Registration changes can only be made during the regular registration period. Those who register after the end of this period will have 10 business days from the date of registration to make changes.

In any case, this is subject to the number of available exam sessions.

● If there are outstanding installment payments, the refund amount will be reduced by these payments.
● If the refund amount exceeds the total of the outstanding installments, or if the tuition has already been paid in full at the time the refund is processed, a receipt for the refund amount will be generated, and the refund will be automatically processed by the US Financial Management Office.
The refund will be deposited into the account associated with the last paid receipt or, if applicable, the MEFP scholarship application, provided the student is the account holder, joint account holder, or beneficiary.
If the student paid the tuition in a single installment via bank transfer, and the account associated with the last paid receipt does not list them as the account holder, joint account holder, or beneficiary, or if the account has been closed, the student must provide the School's Registrar's Office with a bank account where they are listed as the account holder, joint account holder, or beneficiary.
