INFORMACIÓ SOBRE LA RENÚNCIA DE MATRÍCULA OFICIAL
L’alumnat de modalitat oficial podrà sol·licitar per escrit a la direcció del centre en qualsevol moment fins al 30 de març (o amb una antelació mínima de quinze dies naturals en els casos dels cursos quadrimestrals), la renúncia de la matrícula per tal de no exhaurir les convocatòries que es preveuen a la normativa vigent.
La direcció de l’EOI de Palma resoldrà les sol·licituds en un termini màxim de 10 dies naturals.
Només es podrà sol·licitar la renúncia de matrícula d'un curs global d’un idioma i un nivell una sola vegada.
L’alumnat no podrà continuar assistint a classe ni podrà ser avaluat.
Aquesta renúncia no donarà dret a la devolució de taxes, i en cas de voler continuar els estudis en un altre moment, l’alumne/a haurà de tornar a participar en el procés d'admissió.
La renúncia constarà a l'expedient acadèmic de l’alumne/a, però no computarà a efectes de permanència ni al curs ni al nivell corresponent.
L’alumnat ha d’omplir aquesta sol·licitud de renúncia i lliurar-la a la secretaria del centre. Enllaç a la web.

On the list students must fill in: the full name, the language and group, the group's shift (morning or afternoon) and the mobile phone from which they will access the venue.
- At the entrance and exit gates there will be a mobile phone number, which they must dial and the barrier will automatically open. It will not count as a call.
