University Entrance Exam
Students are accepted through the Vestibular, which is an open examination where the top-placed candidates are offered a placement at the university. Since UFRGS is free of charge, the Vestibular is usually a very hard examination since there are many candidates for few open placements. Examinations take place in January and classes begin in March.

From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked any thing.”
