STUDENT GUIDE 2013 Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas Opening Statement Dear Student, With more than sixty years of history, and built upon the foundations of seriousness, ethics and a mission to mould leaders who can command both public and private organizations, EBAPE has been an important influence on the markets and public policies that have helped, and continue to help define the nation’s future. This Student Manual has been developed as a guide and to provide pertinent information regarding the Undergraduate Course in Administration over the next four years. It provides students with information about the School’s academic structure, its activities and its assessment criteria. It also helps them understand the workings of Additional Activities, Disciplinary Rules and the Online Registration System, as well as all the other services offered by the Institution. This is basically a guide that will help students understand, in a concise manner, the academic life at EBAPE, and ensure that they do not miss out on any opportunities that may arise during their time at the School. The idea is to provide an excellent opportunity to interact with the Degree Center, strengthen ties with the institution and to help consolidate the School as a reference in academic excellence.

E-MAIL Every student on joining an FGV undergraduate course is issued with an FGV e-mail address. The Center uses this e-mail to provide the student with the most important information about his/her course. In order to access this e-mail address, either in our Labs or through external equipment, the student will need to access the website www.fgvmail.br and then type in his/her login. The following page will ask the student to repeat his/her login and then to type in their password. WI-FI The FGV building has Wi-Fi available on all its floors. The access code is: 8f8f392f9f. INTERNET USE In order to access the FGV network, when in our Labs, the student must type in his/her login and password, and at the same time choose “domínio ACAD” (ACAD domain) from among the options that appear on the screen. Access without this domain name will not be authorized. The student’s network account is the same as the e-mail account. • a login provided by the School • @fgvmail.br Example: [email protected] The network accounts are personal and the password is the responsibility of the user. That is why we recommend that students not give out their passwords to anyone and that they always switch off their workstations after use, thereby avoiding the possibility of someone else using their passwords and then making improper use of the network and even printing copies using students’ quotas. Students are not permitted to: Access websites with a content that is incompatible with FGV’s professional and academic activities. We would remind students that all accesses are recorded and may undergo inspection on the request of FGV’s Senior Administration; Use programs to obtain and make available (download and upload) files of music, videos or any other kind of file available on the Internet or on FGV’s internal network.

Limits and rules with regard to the automatic cleaning of mailboxes: The standard size of the mailbox is of 5 GB; The maximum size of messages being sent or received is of 10 MB, including text and attached files. Once again, we would like to remind students that they are solely responsible for the use of their logins and passwords and that all accounts are audited. The inappropriate use of the network/Internet or e-mail account will imply a warning, blocking and suspension of the account. NORMS AND PROCEDURES Without adhering completely to the rules and regulations one cannot achieve the final objective of FGV’s courses, namely to provide the student with a good education. Each student has rights and responsibilities that apply equally to all other students. A good and equitable coexistence implies an awareness and a systematic and impartial application of these norms and procedures, as well as a respect for the rights that are common to all. A lack of awareness of the rules will not preclude a student of his/her obligations to comply with them. Hence we recommend that students read their Course Regulations carefully and in full. In the case of any questions relating to the academic routine, students should contact the NAP team, which will always be on hand to help them. Students should avoid information provided by fellow students, unofficial opinions and corridor gossip. It is only by following the correct procedure, by means of the Educational Support Center (NAP) and the Academic Records Office that students will be able to properly resolve any pending academic-administrative issues relating to their courses. STUDENT ON-LINE (THE MOODLE AND E-CLASS ENVIRONMENT) The student’s FGV login and e-mail password provide him/her with access to Student On-line (an information system that gives students access to academic information relating to their progress in subjects they are taking) and to the Moodle or E-class environment (teaching support system), which offer guides, manuals, regulations, calendars, notifications and other academic information relating to the day-to-day of his/her course. The Moodle (for those studying Economics, Social Sciences and History and Applied Mathematics) and the E-class (for those studying Administration) environments constitute the Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas official channels of communication between coordinators, the educational center, professors and other departments, and students. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES Educational development at an undergraduate level is not limited to the technical-professional dimension alone, but also involves a multidisciplinary perspective focusing on the human dimension, which helps shape the student into a citizen. These different dimensions include: developing an artistic-cultural repertoire, involvement in initiatives with a social impact on the community, participation in associations and other entities, participation in research projects, running one’s own research projects, getting involved in charitable work, among others. All students who enroll in FGV undergraduate courses have to take part in academic activities that complement the subjects offered on a regular basis in order to obtain a diploma. For further information, students should read the Additional Activities Manual of their course, and if they have any additional questions, then they should contact the Educational Support Center. ACADEMIC CALENDAR Activities, during the academic year, will take place in accordance with the Academic Calendar prepared by the Educational Support Center in joint agreement with the Coordinators of the student’s course. GRADE POINT AVERAGE The student’s academic performance is expressed by the Grade Point Average and recorded in his/her School Transcript of Academic Record at the end of each school semester. The GPA (CR in Portuguese) is calculated on the basis of a mathematical average of the grades the student has received in all the disciplines he/she has taken since the start of the course. The C.R. is of great importance to the student since it is taken into account when he/she is applying for an internship, seeking to maintain a study grant, trying to take part in a scientific initiation project or looking to get into an academic exchange program. DEGREE AWARDS/GRADUATION CEREMONY Students who have qualified to graduate will be called up on a specific date set by the Institution to participate in the Graduation/ Degree Awards Ceremony. This ceremony will mark the official confirmation of their graduation. From this moment on, students will be able to apply to the Academic Records Office (SRA) for a certificate of completion of the course containing the date of graduation, and they will then receive the Diploma within the legally stipulated timeframe. CURRICULUM AND DISCIPLINES The curricula are sets of different disciplines or subjects, which are associated with each individual academic course. These disciplines may be required, optional or elective. The Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas compulsory disciplines are those which the student must complete, obligatorily.

DISCIPLINES WITH PREREQUISITES A curricular prerequisite is a condition that must be satisfied for a particular discipline to be taken, and involves one or more disciplines that must be taken before hand, in other words, there may be a stipulation that one or more specific disciplines must have been completed before the student can start a specific new discipline.
