Semi-Presential Pedagogy Course
The degree lasts four years and combines distance activities with mandatory in-person meetings.
The course trains professionals to work in Early Childhood Education and in the initial years of Elementary Education, as well as prepares teachers for management and educational research roles.
According to IFSULDEMINAS, the semi-presential structure aims to expand access to higher education without compromising the practical activity load required for teacher training.
Distribution of Places by Pole
The notice offers 250 places at the Muzambinho pole and 50 places at the Bragança Paulista pole.
The distribution was defined according to the capacity and infrastructure of the units, the institution reported.
The offer serves students from different regions of South Minas and also from municipalities close to the state of São Paulo.
Requirements and Entry Modalities
Applicants who have completed High School may apply.
The process includes Open Competition and Affirmative Actions, reserving places for graduates from public schools, low-income individuals, black, brown, and indigenous people, quilombolas, and people with disabilities, according to the federal education system’s quota policy.
Selection Methods: ENEM or In-Person Exam
The candidate can choose one of the two entry methods at the time of application.
The in-person exam will be held on December 7, 2025, at locations to be defined later.
The exam should assess general High School content and competencies compatible with training in teaching.
Those who choose to use the ENEM may present scores obtained between 2017 and 2024.
The classification will be made according to the performance recorded in the exam.
The notice advises candidates to check the minimum required score and the tie-breaking criteria outlined.
Deadlines and Stages of the Selection Process
Applications must be made exclusively online, through the IFSULDEMINAS entrance exam portal, until November 14, 2025.
After submitting the form, candidates need to follow the official publications regarding the confirmation of applications, exam locations, and results.
The list of approved candidates and the enrollment schedule will be published according to the stages of the process.
Enrollment and Documentation
The approved candidates must enroll according to the number of available places at each pole and the ranking order.
It will be necessary to present a photo identification document, high school certificate and transcript, and, when applicable, proof of belonging to affirmative action groups.
IFSULDEMINAS will publish the detailed enrollment calendar and will call for new admissions in case of dropouts.
Gratuity and Student Support Policies
The courses offered by IFSULDEMINAS are free, with no tuition fees.
According to the institution, the funding comes from federal public resources.
Students may apply for student assistance programs, which include food aid, transportation, and housing, based on socioeconomic criteria established by each campus.
According to higher education specialists, the free degrees offered by the federal network play an important role in the training of teachers and in the decentralization of public education, by increasing qualification opportunities in regions outside major urban centers.
The semi-presential model is seen as an alternative for those who need to balance studies and work, maintaining mandatory in-person hours to ensure teaching practice.
Location of the Poles and In-Person Meetings
The choice of poles in Muzambinho and Bragança Paulista considers the available infrastructure and the capacity to offer in-person meetings.
According to the institution, the decision aims to serve students from nearby municipalities and reduce travel, especially for those who work and study.
The in-person meetings will occur at the designated poles, on dates that will be informed after the start of the course.
Operational Advantages for the Candidate
Candidates can choose the entry method that best fits their profile.
Those who have taken the ENEM in recent years can use their scores and avoid the in-person exam.
Those who prefer to participate in a new evaluation can take the exam.
In both cases, IFSULDEMINAS recommends paying attention to application deadlines and subsequent stages, as the time between the announcement of results and enrollment tends to be short.
How to Register for the Selection Process of IFSULDEMINAS
Interested parties must access the IFSULDEMINAS entrance exam website, fill out the electronic form, and select the desired entry modality.
The institution advises that all provided data be reviewed before submission.
The complete notice, with detailed selection criteria, deadlines, and required documentation, is available on the same page.
