A place must be reserved by paying 20% of the total amount for the first year into a La Caixa bank account, within 15 calendar days from receipt of the admission notification.

Once a place is formally reserved as stated, if a person does not meet the course admission requirements in accordance with the national or autonomous community legislation in force at any time or does not have the qualification required, or if the course is not formalised due to low enrolment, the UIC will return the amount paid to reserve the place in full.

If the student does not follow up the place reserved, it will be understood that they are withdrawing, and UIC may then cancel and void the application made.
