When enrolling in the free courses, students who have not yet obtained their school report on time may submit a school report declaration signed by the school representative according to the model available in the notice or a “school certificate” that must include grades and the full name of the candidate (on letterhead, stamped, and signed by the school representative) or a set of report cards (on letterhead, stamped, and signed by the school); however, the student’s school report will be mandatory at the time of enrollment.

IFBA will analyze the grades from the 6th, 7th, and 8th years of elementary school for the Integrated and Concurrent Courses; and from the 1st and 2nd years of high school for the Subsequent Courses. Grades that are not in numerical format must be reported according to the guidelines in the annex of the notice, in the equivalence table of concepts and grades.

IFBA has reserved 50% of the vacancies in the free courses for candidates who studied in public schools, with socioeconomic criteria (divided between gross family income equal to or less than 1.5 minimum wage per capita and gross family income above 1.5 minimum wage per capita) and ethnic-racial criteria (candidates who self-declare as black, brown, or indigenous). There are also reserved vacancies in the free courses for candidates with disabilities.
