The emergency situation resulting from the COVID 19 pandemic forced changes in students’ routines, namely in access to education, which was transformed during this period into online classes. Considering that not all students would be able to access classes and carry out the respective work and assessments, the University of Évora (UÉ) provided, on loan, computer equipment to students who, upon justification of need, formalize the request with the Student Integration and Support Division (DIAE).

Having reversed these last years, based on experience and having recovered presencial teaching, it has become urgent to define some criteria for the allocation of computer equipment, a measure that was considered to be maintained, as it is extremely important for the academic success of students who, for properly substantiated reasons, still present this need.

Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph n) of the nº1 of the article 23º of the Statutes of the University of Évora, ratified by Normative Order No. 7/2021, published in the Diário da República, 2ª series, nº 30, of 12 February 2021, after hearing the Computer Services, the Academic Services, the Social Services and the Academic Association, was put into effect the “Regulation for the attribution of computer equipment to students” .

Equity in education to ensure integration in all spheres of society. Onboarding interview and assessment of the clinical process together with UÉ faculty members and departments, thereby ensuring psycho-pedagogical support.

Please submit your application for Student with Learning Support status and hand in the required documents  in person at the DIAE.

INCLUSION RESOURCE CENTRE

Support for student workers during their academic journey, with the submission, mediation and follow-up of academic processes.

Students with student worker status  may request assistance in the analysis of academic procedures from the Student Integration and Support Division (DIAE)  in person (on Fridays until 7pm, by prior appointment) or by sending an e-mail to diae@uevora.pt for processes in which the Office is able to provide support.

This program  allows the collaboration of students of the University of Évora, on a part-time basis, in occasional activities within the scope of University initiatives (seminars, fairs, exhibitions), in exchange for a school allowance. For enrolment  the student must fill in the online application. In case of recruitment, the student will be informed of the amount to be received, the dates, schedules and structure where he/she will perform functions.

The tutoring system assigns a tutor to students who request one, providing them support throughout their academic journey, in particular by focusing on their adjustment to and integration in university life and their academic success.

Each year, students may apply to the tutoring system through the SIIUE from the beginning of the academic year and up to 30 April. The tutors, who are faculty members that offer their time to help students, are recommended by the Course Director and appointed by the Department Director who oversees the department of which the tutor is a part. Students are then informed of who has been assigned as their tutor and their respective contact information.

Initial contact must be initiated by the student and within two weeks from the date on which they receive notification. At least one to three meetings per semester must be held, scheduled by mutual agreement.

Management of all claims and all issues related with school insurance, providing information and explanation to the Insurance Company, students and the bodies of the University of Évora.

All students registered and enrolled in the University of Évora are covered by school insurance, which may be extended to academic and non-academic staff and to individuals who are conducting ongoing research activities on the University’s premises or other facilities used for such purpose when travelling in the country or abroad.
