UFSC was the second most requested university by applicants in the 2026 Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação (PEC-G) Selection Process. Therefore, if you were not selected for UFSC, it is because your score did not meet the minimum required according to the criteria listed in the Call for Applications. Your application may have been redirected to another university to fill available places or placed on a waiting list.

For further information, please contact the Brazilian diplomatic mission where you submitted your application.

There are no remaining places at UFSC. Although UFSC offered over 100 possible seats in undergraduate programs, only up to 20 could be filled, and all 20 places have already been filled according to the published results.

 Please note that UFSC is not accepting external transfers through PEC-G.
