1.- El alumnado de primer curso por primera vez a tiempo completo tienen que matricular 60 créditos. Un 15% del alumnado podrá cursar estudios a tiempo parcial (30 créditos).
2.- Continuación de estudios: libre con un máximo de 75 créditos

La Escuela Politécnica Superior de Ingeniería desarrolla, en solitario o conjuntamente con otros centros, las siguientes acciones de apoyo y orientación para los estudiantes matriculados en el Grado:

- Programa de alumnos tutores: La figura del alumno tutor es la de un estudiante "veterano", que, fundamentalmente, orienta y apoya a los nuevos estudiantes que se incorporan al centro, estando a disposición de estos para facilitarles la orientación y a su mejor integración en el ámbito universitario. La USC realiza una convocatoria anual para este programa . Información sobre este programa:

- Presentación de la Biblioteca Intercentros y formación de usuarios: la Biblioteca Intercentros del Campus de Lugo , como el resto de los centros de la Biblioteca Universitaria de la USC, ofrece a la comunidad universitaria un plan de formación dirigido a profundizar en el conocimiento de los servicios bibliotecarios y de los recursos de información. A lo largo del curso académico, esta biblioteca realiza sesiones de presentación dirigidas a alumnos de nuevo ingreso y organiza cursos adaptados a los diferentes tipos de usuarios y a las diferentes áreas temáticas que se imparten en la Universidad. Así, se realizan cursos de manejo del catálogo, instrumentos básicos de consulta, bases de datos, revistas y libros electrónicos, recursos accesibles a través de Internet, etc.

- Atención continuada en el Centro: la Dirección del Centro y su Unidad de Apoyo a la Gestión están accesibles a diario para cualquier consulta de ámbito académico que afecte a los estudios de la Escuela. Además, la página Web del Centro se mantiene permanentemente actualizada como referencia básica de información, en la que se pueden consultar horarios de actividades académicas, calendarios de evaluación, programas de asignaturas, horas de tutoría del profesorado, actividades extraordinarias, normativa, etc.

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.
