Since the process takes several months, you must enroll conditionally at IQS, using the Conditional Enrollment Form while waiting for the official recognition decision. This conditional enrollment is valid for only one academic year. In exceptional cases, according to the regulations established by URL, it can be extended for another year if the recognition process has not been resolved. If the result is negative, the enrollment and completed studies will be invalidated.

For more information, consult the Spanish diplomatic representations or consular offices in your country.
