Full annulment of registration for personal reasons: Before the start of academic activity

The interested party or the authorized person on presentation of the necessary identification.

Applications must be presented via the online administrative procedures on the URV's intranet or the URV online registry.

• Before the start of academic activities, by 30 September at the latest (1 October 2025).

By presenting the following documentation:

• Application addressed to the head of the secretariat, who, if appropriate, will send it onto the corresponding Office of the Vice-Rector.

Head of the Secretary's Office of the Faculty/School.

Whenever possible, when the application is made. At most 5 naturals days after presenting the application and any necessary documentation.

• The interested party will be informed of the resolution and, if appropriate, their academic transcript will be updated.
• The annulment of registration will be recorded on the computer system.

• If the application for annulment is submitted before the start of academic activity (1 October 2025) and the fees have already been paid, the thesis supervision fee, learning support services fee, insurance and any applicable voluntary services will be refunded, if appropriate. The amounts paid to cover administrative charges and the academic pathway study fee, if applicable, will not be refunded.
• For the student's request for cancellation to be granted, the student must be up-to-date with their payments.
• If the student has not paid the corresponding fees within the established deadlines, the University may automatically enforce the annulment, but the fees will remain outstanding and the doctoral student will not be able to register for any URV course until they rectify this situation. In accordance with the Decree on Public Prices, they will also not be able to register at any other Catalan university until they make the corresponding payment. Likewise, for as long as the fees remain unpaid, the doctoral student will not be issued with certificates, academic transcripts or other qualifications. 

• Students whose registration is annulled will lose their places and the registration will be null and void.
  • New students who are up-to-date with their payments will be returned the documents that they submitted when they registered, if applicable. Any student who wishes to resume the same programme of study will have to go through the pre-registration procedure again. The relevant information can be found here.
  • Provided they are up-to-date with their payments, other doctoral students who wish to continue on the same programme must apply to resume their studies during the academic year after the academic year of annulment. Once a full academic year has passed after the annulment, the student will be definitively withdrawn from the doctoral programme and will no longer be able to participate in it. If at some future date they wish to resume their doctoral studies, they will have to pre-register for a different doctoral programme.
• If the doctoral student enjoys a contract of research personnel in training or has applied for a grant, the secretary's office must inform the Academic Management Service.
