The Letter will also be available for download in the application system.

It is important to be mindful of the visa expiration date, as once the date is expired you will not be able to apply for a visa extension in Brazil. In this case, a new visa will have to be obtained at a Brazilian consulate abroad. • Warning: It is not possible to change visa type in Brazil. Therefore, students should only leave their home countries with a Student Visa (Temporary Visa IV) or a Temporary Resident Visa (MERCOSUR Agreement).

Housing • UFSC does not offer housing for exchange students. Thus, students must search for their own accommodation.

Transcript of Records • Before leaving the university, all exchange students must hand in at SINTER their “Certidão Negativa de Débito” [Library Clearance Certificate], requested at the University Library. This document is a proof that the student has no debts to UFSC. Only after handing in the certificate will the students be able to receive their Transcript of Records. Additional Information • Exchange students may enroll in courses from any Department at UFSC as long as they fulfill all the course requirements and there is seat available in the chosen course. • All costs related to the exchange program, including visa, passport, tickets, accommodation, transportation and living expenses, are students’ sole responsibility, whether they receive scholarships/financial aid or not. • Exchange students will not pay any fees at UFSC, except for extracurricular activities. The only fees students will pay are those from their home institution, according to its policies and regulations, if applicable.

Undergraduate programs: Grades are expressed in values ranging from 0.0 (zero) to 10.0 (ten). In order to pass a course, students must obtain a final average grade equal to or greater than 6.0 (six) and minimum attendance of 75%.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The initial objective of this Project was to carry out the first step in the promotion of a public debate and influence in public policies, relative to the protection of personal data in Latin America. In this first stage, the project has been centered in two countries: Brazil and Mexico, and has had as its objective the identification of the main institutional, legal, academic, social and technological actors in three spheres: a) National identification documents, b) video surveillance in public spaces, and c) surveillance of data in the Internet. In the framework of the new national identification document in Brazil, there exist laws, law projects and discussions in the Congress since 1991, but mainly, they refer to this document in an uncritical and non reflexive way, without participation and public debate with respect to the theme in the country. The research also brings up the point that scientific production borders the theme of biometrics and identification by the exact disciplines or those interested in suggesting more efficient technical systems. From the humanities there are fewer critical studies that reflect on the theme. In this way, the implementation is characterized by a technocratic aspect or a better technique that erases its political characteristics. The analysis of the law projects and of existing laws indicates that the application of the unique identification document in the country does not pass in Brazil due to legal mechanisms for the control and supervision of the document itself outside of groups who use it.

    Identity document From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from ID card) "National identity card" redirects here. For cards referred to in the English language as "national identity card", see: National identity card (disambiguation). This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.(January 2008) An identity document (also called a piece of identification or ID) is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person's Personalidentity. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity card (IC). In some countries the possession of a government-produced identity card is compulsory while in others it may be voluntary. In countries which do not have formal identity documents, informal ones may in some circumstances be required. In the absence of a formal identity document, some countries accept driving licences as the most effective method of proof of identity. Most countries accept passports as a form of identification.

  • Article the New Brazilian Identification System
    The New Brazilian Identification System: Article Unique Features of a General Transformation Marta Mourão Kanashiro Danilo Doneda Cidade Universitária Zeferino Vaz – State University of Curitiba, Brazil. [email protected] Campinas (Unicamp), São Paulo, Brazil. [email protected] or [email protected] Abstract The adoption of a new ID document in Brazil, most commonly known as RIC (Registro de Identidade Civil or Civil Identity Registry) has already a long story, having started with its provision by Law number 9.454, enacted in 1997. In order to contribute to the analysis and critique this process, this paper highlights the specificities of the Brazilian implementation of the new identity document (RIC). Therefore, we will firstly present the general characteristics of this new document and its historical context and, secondly, we point out the unique features that mark its implementation. Introduction The adoption of a new ID card in Brazil, most commonly known as the RIC (Registro de Identidade Civil, Civil Identity Registry) already has a long history, starting with the provision in Law 9.454, enacted in 1997. However the implementation of the new ID card itself is much more recent. It is possible to date the beginning of this process back to the acquisition of the equipment needed to digitalize biometric identification, which was made in 2004. But neither the law nor its process of implementation have been visible enough to prompt a public debate over the issue. The absence of theoretical and academic debate about this change in people's identification and the technologies involved in this transformation must be added to this Brazilian picture.
