7.Applicant’s Final Classification
The assessment, classification and sorting order process is calculated by Portal das Escolas, using
an applicant’s placement algorithm (initial allocation) taking into account the preferences the
applicant stated and the applicable rules: age (if applicable), minimum grades, vacancies, final
grade.
Age limit:

** “99” means that there is no age limit for Level 5 Programmes; assessment and vacancy
allocation with be done according to grades and preferences.

will determine the eventual elimination of applicants in this 1st phase.

whose final results are less than 10 (ten) out of 20 (twenty) will be excluded.

The applicant is informed of the grade in the personal area of Portal.
After grades are made public, the initial allocation of applicants begins (only for those who score a
10 or higher) taking into account each grade. In this first placement the vacancies are allocated
taking the combined grades obtained both in the exam and the personal interview.
A Second Assessment will be performed if any vacancies are left.
