UPCES Courses Availability for Exchange Students

• FHS exchange students can enrol in 2 UPCES courses per semester depending on the available capacity. They are also expected to select regular FHS courses in addition to the UPCES (YBAU coded) courses. Due to the small size of these courses, we are unable to guarantee enrolment in a particular UPCES course.

• Exchange students OUTSIDE the FHS:

  We are unable to guarantee enrolment in UPCES courses in advance to exchange students outside the FHS. These courses are available only if the course capacity allows (i.e. not all the places are used by the FHS students). Course availability is to be checked in the Student information system (SIS) when course registration opens.
