You must provide a Finnish residence permit as proof for university’s decision-making.

Current tuition fees for EU and non-EU students. 
IST Suggestion: add a column also about participation costs/institutional costs The participation costs must cover the total value of the tuition fee legally applied at the institutions. No exceptions will be allowed. IST participation costs may vary depending on the financing programme. Mandatory tuition fees: EU students: 2500 € Non-EU students: 7000 €

Fees related to examinations, re-examinations, or issuing the degree certificate, not being part of the tuition fee. 
IST Examinations: included in fee Re-examinations (special season): 20 €/ Curricular Unit Emoluments (Diplomas, Detailed corticates etc): 400 € Portuguese Course: 170 € Compulsory Administrative Student Support Fees: EU students: 1000 € Non-EU students: 1500 €

Other compulsory fees that are not connected to the studies (e.g. insurance, student union fees).
IST Student insurance: 2 €

Fees for extra semester(s), should the student not complete the programme within the stipulated time. 
IST In the case of multiple degree: Tuition fees are applicable per year and not per semester. Depending on the number of ECTS the student might be entitled to a partial reduction on the yearly tuition fee. In the case of joint degrees: no example yet at IST. It is better to assume the most conservative perspective (the same as in multiple degrees – see above).

Under which circumstances can paid tuition fees be refunded to the student? 
IST The students may request a refund in the event of incorrect payments or overpayments for the same event and in various duly justified and authorised situations by the Management Board. For instance, for scholarship students who pay some tuition fees, if we later receive a payment from an organisation for their tuition; in case of cancellation of enrolment requested by 31 October, we refund payments made up to that date for the administrative fee, school insurance, and tuition fees; refund of pre-reservation fees for international students who are unable to obtain a visa to study in Portugal. For students admitted within the framework of a Joint Programme, it may depend on the negotiation among partners. It may be possible to request annulment/withdrawal of enrolment/registration in the programme, which may or not require payment of a partial amount if submitted within the specified deadlines; if submitted after the final deadline, the student (or the programme in his place) must pay the full participation cost for the current academic year and any fees already due at the date of the request.

New Dec 2023 1. For entry universities: are JP students eligible to apply for an Erasmus+ mobility grant for their upcoming mobility? 2. For exit universities: Will you sign learning agreements for incoming JP students who have received an Erasmus+ grant?
IST 1.It is possible for self-paid students. It is mandatory to guarantee no duplication of European funding. 2. Again, once ensured the non-duplication of European funding, it is possible to sign learning agreements, provided that the competent services have been duly notified. The internal procedure may have some constraints, as the computer system supporting student enrolment distinguishes between Joint Programme students and Erasmus students.

If the joint program or double degree agreement does not already establish from the beginning the subjects to be taken and recognized, it is established that an individual learning agreement must be signed for each student.
