Students of the same Household

	When two or more members of the same household are registered in a cycle of studies at the University of Coimbra, the member(s) who attend a Bachelor’s Degree, an Integrated Master’s Degree or a Folllow-up and/or Continuity Master’s Degree necessary to the performance of a professional activity, may benefit from the possibility of reduction of tuition fee as long as they have a successful academic performance.
	The tuition fee’s amount to be paid is the highest of the minimum tuition fee and 60 per cent of the maximum tuition fee.
	If all the students of the same household attend Bachelor’s Degree, Integrated Master’s Degree or Follow-up and/or Continuity Master’s Degree Courses, the student who has the highest number of registrations does not benefit from this reduction, regardless of possible interruptions that might have existed.

Deadlines

- 30th November, deadline to request the benefit concerning the household, or
- until 15 days subsequent to the registration date if it is made later.

The information that describes the request is presented on it, as well as a set of notices that are deemed to be useful in order to support the student to submit it. You must read that information carefully so that your request may be analysed.

About the payment

In accordance with no. 3 of article no. 220 of the Academic Regulation (RAUC):

"The Student must comply with the payment condition and deadlines appliable to him/her until the moment at which the right to a benefit is formally recognised".

Documents to be submitted

The following document must be attached (digitised document) to the aforementioned request:

1. Declaration attesting the household composition retrieved from the “Portal das Finanças” (Tax and Customs Authority Website) by the household income holders or

2. Declaration issued by the Parish Council which attests the household composition, concerning the situations in which the retrieval of the declaration from the “Portal das Finanças” (Tax and Customs Authority Website) is not possible.

If you meet the requirements, the benefit will be awarded until the end of January and it will be reflected on the tuition fees due in the subsequent months. The students who are awarded this benefit must check Inforestudante in order to verify the adjustments made to the instalments and update their tax data. Any change to the enrolment or registration status after the awarding of the benefit implies its annulment.

Accumulation of benefits

The benefits awarded by the University of Coimbra which lead to a reduction in the tuition fee’s amount to be paid by the students are not cumulative; therefore the highest reduction is applied unless expressly stated otherwise.
