Re-admission is when, after having interrupted their studies in a higher education institution/course pair a student, enrolls in the same institution and the same course or in a course that has succeeded it.

Change of institution/course pair is when a student enrolls in a different institution/course pair from the one(s) in which they enrolled in previous academic years.
Changing institution/course pair can occur with or without interrupting enrollment and registration at a higher education institution.

Students may request to change to a different institution/course pair if they:

(a) Have been enrolled and registered in another institution/course pair and have not completed it;

b) Have passed the national secondary school exams corresponding to the entrance examinations set for that pair, for that year, under the general regime of access.

c) Have, in these exams, the minimum classification required by the higher education institution for that year, under the general regime of access.

The regime of change of institution/course pair also applies to students who have been enrolled and registered in a foreign higher education institution in a course defined as higher education by the country's legislation and have not completed it.
