Tutorial action and reception
La Universidad de Santiago cuenta con un servicio de participación e integración universitaria (SEPIU) (http://www.usc.es/gl/servizos/sepiu) que trabaja en la integración de personas con discapacidad y presta apoyo para el desarrollo de las adaptaciones curriculares, así como un protocolo para la integración en la comunidad universitaria.
La USC realiza todos los años, a comienzo de curso, jornadas de acogida organizadas por el vicerrectorado con competencia en asuntos estudiantiles que tienen por objeto presentar a los nuevos estudiantes las posiblidades, recursos y servicios que les ofrece la Universidad.
La Facultad de Psicología, por su parte, organiza en una jornada de acogida a los nuevos estudiantes el primer día de clase. En ella se ofrece una presentación de la Facultad, de su equipo gestor, la biblioteca, los servicios administrativos y la organización académica del centro.
A los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en primer curso se les ofrece la posibilidad de incorporarse a un programa de tutorías personalizadas, en el cual se les asigna un tutor que los orientará a lo largo de la carrera.
A los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en primer curso se les ofrece la posibilidad de incorporarse a un programa de tutorías personalizadas, en el cual se les asigna un tutor que los orientará a lo largo de la carrera. El plan de tutoría implica (1) la firma de un compromiso de seguimiento de las tutorías y de las actividades académicas por parte del estudiante y del profesor; (2) un seguimiento dirigido por el profesor/a durante el primer curso, con un mínimo de dos sesiones por cuatrimestre; (3) un seguimiento, a partir del segundo curso, “a demanda” del/a estudiante en caso de aquéllos con buen ajuste académico, y de tutorización más directiva en los casos de fracaso académico.
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.

A los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en primer curso se les ofrece la posibilidad de incorporarse a un programa de tutorías personalizadas, en el cual se les asigna un tutor que los orientará a lo largo de la carrera. El plan de tutoría implica (1) la firma de un compromiso de seguimiento de las tutorías y de las actividades académicas por parte del estudiante y del profesor; (2) un seguimiento dirigido por el profesor/a durante el primer curso, con un mínimo de dos sesiones por cuatrimestre; (3) un seguimiento, a partir del segundo curso, “a demanda” del/a estudiante en caso de aquéllos con buen ajuste académico, y de tutorización más directiva en los casos de fracaso académico.
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.
