Besides completing the specific registration of the course (check requirements below), students must take the online level test or inform the office of their level of Spanish within the deadline stated to do so (check calendar). Students that do not know Spanish and prefer to be set directly in the beginners´ level group, just have to send an e-mail to cursosidiomas@ehu.eus within the deadline stated to do so and will be set directly in a beginners´ level group.

The level test will be held online and will be used to determine the most suitable group/level for each student.

Important: students are not allowed to enter in any class if they have not received a confirmation e-mail from the organizers. Students entering in class without being authorized, will accumulate absences/missing days that might affect the way they will be evaluated.

Places of the online course will be assigned strictly by order of registration. Students of exchange programs administered by the Vice-Rectorate of Basque, Culture and Internationalization and Enlight university students will have priority/preference to other students.

We remind students taking part in the online courses that it is absolutely forbidden to pass or exchange the links of the classes to other students without the express consent of the language courses office, being this a possible cause of expulsion of the students involved.

We recommend students to read the regulations before fulfilling their registration in our courses.
