Workload
We recommend students to complete 12 USP credits per Semester. Therefore, we consider 1 USP credit equivalent to 2.5 ECTS. Most FEAUSP courses are 2 or 4 credits: one or two classes of around 2 hours per week, in a semester of 15 weeks. Few courses are 6 or 8 credits
Course Registration
There are a limited number of spots available in each course, and registration is done on a first come, first served basis. Therefore, we are not able to guarantee that all students will be placed according to their first preferences, and we expect some flexibility on their choice of courses. First year and most second year core courses are usually not available for Exchange Students.
Grading System
Grading system at USP ranges from 0.0 (zero) to 10.0. To pass a course, a student must fulfill two conditions: minimum score of 5.0 and minimum attendance of 70%. Students with grades between 3.0 and 4.9, and minimum attendance of 70% will be able to apply for a reassessment.
Final Assessment
Exchange Students must take their exams in the same conditions as regular students. They are not authorized to organize exams individually with their professors. All students are expected to take their exams during the official periods (normally the last two weeks of each semester)
