What to do when you arrive at the UMH

Once students arrive at their respective campus, they should go to its Campus Management Centre (CEGECA) in order to formally enroll and to complete the Certificate of Arrival provided by their home university.

Students will have to show a copy of the authorized Learning Agreement (duly signed by both parties) in addition to their national identity card (for EU citizens) or passport (non-EU citizens) in order to be identified.

If students need help during their first days at the UMH, the student delegation of each faculty will provide them with the necessary assistance.
