The remaining 20% is earmarked for Enem students. Candidates must choose a registration method.

Held in two stages, the selection process will also include group activities and individual interviews (online). As detailed in the notice, the undergraduate program will have openings for the general public and will also reserve a number of places for candidates from different quota groups.
