Your First Steps at University

Registration and your residence permit happen in the same first weeks.

Visit the International Office: The International Office is the university team for foreign students. It gives you your original blue slip (entry permit) and helps with your residence permit.
Pay your fees: Pay the semester fee and tuition as your university asks.
Register for courses: At Frederick University, non-EU students pay the registration fees and part of the semester tuition, then register for courses.
Get your student card: At UCY, the card costs €12.

Your residence permit papers are due within 7 days of arriving. Do them alongside your university registration.

A full year is 60 ECTS (European study credits). That is usually 30 ECTS in each semester.

Permits are issued only to full-time students. Ask before you drop courses.

Bring your fee receipt to registration.
Hand in your residence permit papers (for the card that lets you stay while you study) within 7 days of arriving. Do this alongside your registration.
Ask the International Office before you drop or withdraw from a course.
