Complementation must be done in the Fies Selection system, until January 16th, by students who had their registration postponed in the Fies selection processes for the first or second semester of 2025. The Ministry of Education (MEC) released the schedule and procedures related to supplementation, through Notice No. 1/2026.
The full notice is available on the Single Portal for Access to Higher Education, on the Fies legislation page. To complete the registration, it is necessary to meet the other requirements, deadlines and procedures for the granting of financing, as set out in the notice.
After completing the registration, the candidate must validate the information with the Permanent Supervision and Monitoring Committee (CPSA) of the higher education institution, by physically or electronically delivering the required documentation. Validation must be done from the day following completing the registration and within five working days.
The student will also need to validate their information with a financial agent within a period of up to ten days, starting from the third business day after the registration is validated by CPSA. Hiring can be carried out digitally or in person, but will depend on the availability of the financial agent.
Candidates pre-selected for Fies Social vacancies are exempt from having to prove their family income with the CPSA. However, they must appear before the committee to validate other information within the same deadlines as other students.
