According to the Rectoral Order number GR.02/03/2021, students who request the renewal of their registration for 90 working days (which implies a registration in the new academic year) but don’t submit their thesis until the deadline, will have to pay the tuition fee applicable since the beginning of that registration. This will apply whether the student decides to continue their studies or quit the PhD, in which case a request for cancellation should be submitted and the corresponding tuition fee should be paid, as defined by article 8 of the Regulation for Tuition Fees of the University of Porto.

Notes:

• In exceptional situations (suspensions, registration in part-time, “manutenção da matrícula”, etc,) please contact the Post-Graduation Unit (pos.graduacao@fc.up.pt).
• According to the Rectoral Order number GR.06/06/2021, when a student with an FCT grant defends their thesis before the end of the FCT grant, usually FCT will only pay the tuition fee accordingly. In these cases, if FCT doesn’t pay the full amount of the tuition fee regarding that academic year, the student will be responsible for the remaining payment, even if the PhD degree has already been obtained.
• Requests submitted after the deadlines mentioned above will be subject of a penalty fee, according to the “Fees Table” of the University of Porto.
