Tutorial action and reception
La USC tiene un programa de alumnos tutores para las titulaciones de grao, de forma que alumnos de últimos cursos, despues de una formación que les facilita la Universidad, realizan tareas de orientación a los alumnos que inician los estudios.
Cuando se produzca la suspensión de un Título oficial, la USC garantiza el adecuado desarrollo efectivo de las enseñanzas que hubieran iniciado sus estudiantes hasta su finalización. Para ello, el Consejo de Gobierno aprueba los criterios relacionados, entre otros, con:
• La admisión de matrículas de nuevo ingreso en la titulación.
• La supresión gradual de la impartición de la docencia.
• Si el título extinguido es sustituido por otro similar (modificando la naturaleza del título), fija las condiciones que facilitan a los/las estudiantes la continuidad de estudios en el nuevo título y las equivalencias entre las materias de uno y otro plan.

Mobility
La Escuela, además de los responsables citados anteriormente, cuenta con la colaboración de varios profesores que actúan como coordinadores académicos, y cuya función es tutelar y asistir en sus decisiones académicas a los estudiantes propios y de acogida, así como firmar los acuerdos académicos de movilidad que aseguren que la acción se enmarque en los objetivos y competencias del título. La Escuela, a través del Responsable Académico de Movilidad y de la Comisión de Título, promueve la incorporación de nuevos acuerdos académicos basándose en recomendaciones de profesores conocedores de la universidad en cuestión, y vela porque dichas acciones sean un complemento a la formación de los estudiantes del Centro, evaluando anualmente la renovación de cada acuerdo.
La movilidad de los/as estudiantes está regulada a través del “Reglamento de intercambios interuniversitarios”. A través de la Oficina de Relaciones Exteriores se gestionan programas de intercambio tanto nacionales (SICUE), como europeos (ERASMUS) y extracomunitarios (intercambios con países de América Latina o países de habla inglesa):
El Plan de Estudios de Grado en Ingeniería en Informática incluye el reconocimiento de 9 créditos optativos por realización de prácticas externas
Los estudiantes podrán inscribirse para la realización del Trabajo Fin de Grado una vez superados el 75% de los créditos obligatorios. En el momento de la presentación del trabajo, el estudiante deberá superar todos los demás créditos necesarios para el título de Grado, esto es, por lo menos 223,5 ECTS. Para no retrasar la graduación de los estudiantes que reúnan los requisitos, la ETSE ofertará trabajos de Fin de Grado para su realización en ambos cuatrimestres.
Graduates in Computer Engineering from USC who want to access the Degree in Computer Engineering should take the following compulsory subjects:
