Every year, at the beginning of the academic year, the USC organizes welcome days organized by the Vice-Rector's Office with responsibility for student affairs, which take place in the first fortnight of the academic year in all university centers, with the aim of introducing new students to the possibilities, resources and services offered by the University.

For the students of the blended learning modality, the welcome and orientation will be carried out through the teaching platform, through the dissemination of audiovisual materials and the creation of a welcome forum that will be used to solve initial doubts or for other purposes.

Every year, the Center's Quality Commission plans the activities to be carried out to welcome, guide and tutor students from the moment they join the Faculty and throughout their training period, with the aim of favoring both the learning and development of students and their orientation towards a future labor market.

These activities are oriented in three ways:

- Student-tutors programme
- Extraordinary tutoring support
- Orientation and training activities

In addition, the USC counts with the following services for enrolled students:

1) University Information Office (OIU)
2) University Residence Service (SUR)
3) Labor and Employment Guidance Area
4) External Relations Service (SRE)
5) The University Participation and Integration Service (SEPIU)
6) Valuation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship Area (AVTE)

The USC has a student-tutor program for the undergraduate degrees, so that final year students, after receiving training from the University, can perform orientational tasks to students initiating their studies.

When a degree suspension occurs, the USC guarantees the adequate development of teachings that were initiated by their students until its suspension. For that, the Government Council approves the criteria related with the admission of new degree entry registration and the gradual suspension of teaching impartation, among others.

If the suspended degree is substituted for a similar one —modifying the nature of the degree—, the new degree regulations will set the conditions to facilitate students the continuity of the new degree’s studies. These regulations will also set subject equivalences in both programs.
