But what could be behind this announcement?
The Federal University of Maranhão opens 491 spots for undergraduate courses without the need for an exam, according to the new announcement published on September 24, 2024.
Registrations, which start from September 25, are completely free and must be done exclusively online until the 30th.
The offer includes 62 undergraduate courses, spread across the campuses of Chapadinha, Codó, Imperatriz, São Bernardo, and São Luís.
How Will the Selection Be Made?
The selection process does not involve additional exams, but rather the use of Enem scores.
To compete for one of the spots, the candidate must have participated in one of the editions of the National High School Exam (Enem) between 2010 and 2023.
Thus, the better the performance in the exam, the greater the chances of securing a spot in one of the offered courses.
Another important point highlighted by UFMA is that the process is aimed at students who have already completed high school and who are currently not enrolled in any undergraduate course at the university itself.
This detail is crucial to prevent candidates who are already enrolled in a course at UFMA from occupying these vacant spots.
During registration, it is necessary to inform which edition of Enem you wish to use the score from.
No Internet Access? UFMA Has You Covered!
To ensure that all interested parties can participate, the university will provide locations with internet access for candidates who do not have computer networks at home.
These locations will be available on the campuses where spots are offered, from 9 AM to 12 PM and from 2 PM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday.
In other words, there are no excuses for not trying to secure your spot!
What If I Have Questions?
Candidates can ask their questions directly on campus or by contacting via email at ingresso.sisu@ufma.br, or by phone at (98) 3272-8738.
All details and necessary procedures are specified in the complete announcement, which can be accessed through the official UFMA website.
With a variety of courses that extend across five cities in the state, UFMA offers students a unique chance to enter higher education in a simple and direct way.
But be careful: the registration deadline is short, and you cannot miss this chance!
Registration is completely online, practical, and fast.
Is this your moment to join a federal university?
With the spots open and the opportunity to use your Enem score, the path to graduation has never been so accessible.
What excuse will you have now not to try? UFMA is ready to welcome you and guide you towards a promising future!
