The following are covered the defined practitioners of Decree-Law no. 55/2019 of April 24th.
The status is obtained by submitting a declaration issued by the ISEG Federation/Club/Students' Association proving your sporting activity to the Academic Services each year at the time of registration, or up to two months before the start of the exam season. In order to receive it, and in accordance with article 5, it is compulsory to have been successful at school:
"Article 5,
1. ULisboa students wishing to benefit from the Student-Athlete Status must have passed at least 36 ECTS credits, or all those enrolled, if their number is less than 36 ECTS in the academic year prior to the one in which they request the granting of the Status, as stipulated in article 5 of Decree-Law no. 55/2019, of April 24.
2. The provisions of the previous paragraph do not apply to students who apply for the status in the academic year in which they are enrolled for the first time in a study cycle. In these situations, the School must regulate the criteria for assessing academic achievement and attendance, to be implemented during the 1st semester.
In the case of ISEG, the criteria were defined as the obligation to pass 36 ECTS of the UCs enrolled in the academic year.
3. The provisions of the previous paragraph do not apply to students who have entered that academic year by changing institution/course pair, who must present proof of academic achievement. In other words, at the previous school, these students must have passed at least 36 ECTS credits, or all those enrolled if their number is less than 36 ECTS.
The benefits consist of the possibility of taking a maximum of four exams for Bachelor's students, and a maximum of two exams for Master's students, in a special assessment period (in the 2nd semester), for curricular units that you have been enrolled in during the current academic year, subject to the fee set per curricular unit.
It is compulsory to register for the season via Fenix during the designated period.
