For the years beyond the standard duration of the course part-time enrollment is not allowed.

As specified in paragraph 7 of the University Administrative Regulation, a student who at the end of the autumn session in September has no more than three outstanding courses and believes that they can graduate during the last available exam session of the relevant academic year (usually in March/April), can take advantage of the subsequent winter exam session, without renewing their enrollement for the new academic year. In the event that the aforementioned student does not graduate within the last graduation session of the academic year in question, they must notify the Student Office, which will issue a single payment slip – covering the three installments of the new academic year – with a deadline equal to that of the third installment (30/04 of each year).

The student who, despite having renewed their enrolment for the year beyond the standard duration of the course because having more than three outstanding activities at the end of the autumn exam session in September, manages to graduate within the last graduation session of the previous academic year (usually in March/April), can submit a refund request for any overpaid fees, once their academic career has been officially closed.

The UNIRSM administrative regulation provides – for degree courses – the payment of three installments, with deadlines:

• 1st installment – ​​31/10
• 2st installment – ​​31/01
• 3st installment – ​​30/04
