What is university pre-enrollment?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>

University pre-enrolment<\/b> is the <\/span>process <\/b>by which students apply for a place on the <\/span>first year of a university degree course. <\/b>Through this process, students indicate the courses they wish to study and rank them in order of <\/span>preference<\/b>, with the aim of securing a place based on their <\/span>admission score<\/b> and the availability of places on each degree course.<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of pre-enrolment is to <\/span>assign a place to the student<\/b> in the chosen course and university, based on their admission score and order of preference. In order to gain access to the university and the chosen course, it is necessary to meet the <\/span>admission requirements,<\/b> such as having passed the corresponding cut-off mark, which is calculated on the basis of the academic record and the <\/span>Selectividad exams<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pre-enrolment does not guarantee automatic admission, but rather forms part of an <\/span>allocation system<\/b> that allows university places to be assigned in an objective and transparent manner. This process is mandatory for admission to undergraduate programmes and must be completed prior to university enrolment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

How to pre-register for university for the 2026-2027 academic year?<\/b><\/h2><\/div>

To <\/span>pre-register for university for the 2026-2027<\/b> academic year, you must meet the <\/span>university admission requirements<\/b>, such as having passed the Baccalaureate or an equivalent qualification and having a sufficient <\/span>admission mark<\/b> for the studies you are applying for.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of <\/span>public universities in Catalonia<\/b>, pre-enrolment is carried out <\/span>online <\/b>through the <\/span>University Access Portal<\/span><\/a>, within the deadlines established for each call for applications. During the process, students must select the <\/span>university degrees<\/b> they wish to study and rank them in order of <\/span>preference<\/b>, from their first choice to their alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pre-enrolment system allows you to choose between <\/span>several courses and universities<\/b>, and it is essential to define your order of preference correctly, as <\/span>places are allocated<\/b> based on your admission score and this order.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of <\/span>private universities<\/b>, the admission process is independent and each institution sets its own criteria, which may include personal interviews, specific tests or the submission of additional documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
