Una vez que los estudiantes deciden estudiar en la USC, esta pone a su disposición todo un dispositivo de información y acogida para facilitar su inscripción, incorporación e integración como estudiante universitario.

En los primeros días de clase el coordinador del Máster organizará una o varias sesiones informativas para comunicar a los alumnos cuáles son los objetivos generales de la titulación, las competencias y destrezas que se alcanzarán con la formación ofrecida, así como para dar una visión general de la localización de recursos (aulas, bibliotecas), personas responsables y canales de comunicación.

También durante los primeros días de clase, y con el objeto de mantener abierta de forma dinámica una vía de comunicación permanente con los alumnos, la Comisión Académica nombrará un tutor para cada uno de los alumnos, que no tendrá que ser necesariamente su futuro director de Tesis, y cuyas funciones principales serán la de atender a su tutorando, derivando las cuestiones que éste le plantee a los cauces adecuados, y la de hacer un seguimiento que permita localizar posibles dificultades académicas con el adelanto suficiente para ser corregidas.

Cando se produza a suspensión dun título oficial, a USC garante o adecuado desenvolvemento efectivo das ensinanzas que iniciasen os seus estudantes ata a súa finalización. Para iso, o Consello de Goberno aproba os criterios relacionados, entre outros, coa admisión de matrículas de novo ingreso na titulación e coa supresión gradual da impartición da docencia.

Se o título extinguido é substituído por outro similar (modificando a natureza do título), a memoria da nova titulación fixará as condicións que faciliten aos/as estudantes a continuidade de estudos no novo título e as equivalencias entre as materias dun e doutro plan.
