Orientation Week

The orientation week takes place during the first week of the start of each semester. The 1st semester starts on September 13 2010. Students are required to be in Porto any day during the Orientation Week.

Since late arrivals caused considerable delay of administrative matters and course registration procedures, we will not register any student arriving in Porto after September 27 2010 or February 21 2011.
