What does the “CE|LE course programme” mean? Who is the programme intended for? Are there tutorials available?
The CELE course programme comprises general language courses that, for over two decades, have been offered annually by the CE|LE Advisory Unit — part of the Languages and Terminology Service — which specialises in Catalan and Spanish as foreign languages. This programme is specifically designed for literate adults (aged 18 and over) who are learning Catalan and/or Spanish as foreign languages. In other words:
- They do not have Catalan or Spanish as their first language (L1), and
- They do not normally reside in regions where these languages have an official, social, or educational presence.
Thus, its audience approaches our languages from a context external to the linguistic community in which they are naturally used — a factor that defines the specific characteristics of the programme. This orientation has direct implications for curriculum design, teaching materials, and methodologies, which are based on the principles of foreign language didactics for adult learners and aligned with the descriptors of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). General language courses are offered in two semesters: from September to December; and from February to May. However, throughout the year, while the University remains open —including the months of January (in winter) and June and July (in summer)— students can continue learning through personalised tutorials offered by the guided self-access learning service .
Learning a new language means becoming part of the community of its speakers.

What types of courses are offered? Where can information about the course offerings be found?
The list of available courses is published every year at the end of May on the Languages and Terminology Service website, under the section for Catalan and Spanish as foreign languages at Jaume I University (UJI) . Most courses are offered in a blended format, which means they include both in-person classes and online work. To pass a course, students must attend at least 80% of the classes and complete the required tasks. The programme includes:
- Intensive Spanish courses in September and February.
- Semi-intensive Catalan and Spanish courses from November to December and March to May.
During the academic year (v. phases ), students can join more than one course of the same language, as long as the courses don’t happen at the same time. Course prices may vary depending on the number of hours. You can find all the details (price, credits, etc.) on the course information website . The semi-virtual modality is not regularly offered; however, it may occasionally be made available on an exceptional basis.

Instructions for successful enrolment
How and when should one enrol in a course? How can one confirm that their enrolment has been successfully completed?
Course registration must be completed within the deadline established for each type of course, by filling in all four screens of the corresponding registration form .
- Intensive Spanish courses in September: from 15 June to 9 September.
- •Semi-intensive Catalan and Spanish courses (November–December): from 15 June to 9 October.
- Intensive Spanish courses in February: from 15 December to 9 February.
- •Semi-intensive Catalan and Spanish courses (March–May): from 15 December to 9 March.
The registration deadline for all courses will be at 2:30 PM on the date indicated on the registration form or on the courses’ website. In exceptional cases, due to over-enrollment, the registration period may close a few days earlier, and this would be announced on the courses’ website.Enrolment is only confirmed once the course fee has been paid within the registration period. The payment process is detailed in the same registration form. Enrolment will only be confirmed once the course fee has been paid by the registration deadline. The payment procedure is outlined in the registration form itself. In addition, if this is your first time enrolling in a CELE course, or if you have never studied Catalan or Spanish before, you will need to take a placement test within the same enrolment period. The link to the test will be sent to you by email in advance. Before the course beguins —and up to two days prior to the start— you will also receive several welcome messages and reminders. 👉 Attendance is mandatory on the first day of class in order to finalize group formation. If you are an external international student, please remember to read this link about the accreditation of personal data .

Tip 5
Is there a placement test before enrolling in a course?
Only students with prior knowledge of the language who have not previously taken any Catalan or Spanish course at UJI must take the placement test. (If they have no prior level, they only need to complete a statistical data collection form, the link to which will be sent by email.)
- The test is conducted online and must be completed without external assistance.
- Links to access the test are sent within a maximum of 72 hours after registration.
- The test must be completed at least 3 days before the start of the course.
- This test does not certify the language level (it is similar to the models here), but rather helps to assign students to the appropriate group according to their skills.
Students do not receive individual results; instead, a list with the assigned classroom and teacher will be published two days before the course begins, based on the test results. If the placement is not perfect on the first day, there is no problem at all: the teacher will listen to the students speak (to assess their pronunciation and oral skills) and may suggest moving them to the group that suits them best, so they can start the course from the middle of the first class in the appropriate location.

Are there any rules for participating in the classes?
✅ You must attend at least 80% of the classes to obtain the course completion certificate. 🕒 Punctuality is essential. 🖊️ You must sign the attendance sheet every day. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure this is done. 🤝 Respect for others and fostering a respectful environment among classmates and teaching staff is required. Disrespectful, offensive, or exclusionary behaviour will not be tolerated. 📵 Mobile devices must be set to silent during class, unless used for educational purposes. 🙋 Active and responsible participation in class activities is required to fully benefit from the social environment, which promotes collective learning. 🧑🏫 Follow the teacher’s instructions and respect the speaking order. 🔇 Avoid unnecessary interruptions and maintain an attitude of active listening. 🌍 We share the space with individuals from diverse backgrounds, so creating an inclusive environment free from discrimination is essential. In addition to all the rules and advice included in this document.

Tip 5
Do students have the autonomy to switch groups?
Students cannot change groups on their own initiative. Only the teaching staff or the Course Coordination, on the first day of class, will assess whether any adjustments to the group composition are necessary. Such changes will only be made if it is determined that a student is not in the appropriate group, based on criteria such as language level, cultural homogeneity, shared interests, specific learning needs, and educational objectives. The aim of this measure is to ensure a balanced, inclusive, and productive learning environment for all, especially in groups with a high level of diversity.

"What happens if a student has to leave the course before it starts or after it has already begun?
If a student decides to leave the course once it has started, the withdrawal must be formally notified via the electronic registry . If this is not done, it will be assumed that the student has abandoned the course, resulting in the loss of all associated rights. Furthermore, if absences due to illness or unforeseen circumstances are not properly justified or communicated, the SLT will be required to deregister the student automatically.
A refund of the enrolment fee will be issued in the following cases:
(a) Full refund (including the €5 administration fee) if the course is cancelled or if a duplicate payment has been made.
(b) Partial refund (the €5 administration fee will be deducted) if illness is documented, provided that no more than 15% of the course has been completed.
The refund will be transferred to the bank account from which the payment was made, and is expected to be received within approximately one and a half months.
On the other hand, If the student withdraws before the start date of the course via the electronic registration system for any other reason, a full refund will be processed, except for the 5 euros handling fee .
Not justifying your absences means saying goodbye to the course.

Tip 7
What happens if a student does not meet the 80% attendance requirement? Are they entitled to take the exam?
You can’t win the game if you’re not playing it!
If at least 80% of the class hours are not attended, the final exam can still be taken; however, the course certificate and ECTS credits will not be granted.
T herefore, it is important to ensure the attendance sheet is signed daily to ensure proper recording of presence, and to take responsibility for monitoring absences. Ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to track their own attendance.

What happens if a student experiences an illness or unforeseen circumstance?
If illness prevents the student from continuing the course, a refund of the registration fee may be requested, provided that the following conditions are met: The illness must be properly documented through the electronic registry. The student must have attended less than 15% of the course’s in-person hours. In such cases, the amount paid will be refunded, except for the €5 administrative fee. The refund will be processed within approximately one and a half months and will be issued to the same bank account used for the original payment. If the illness only causes a temporary absence --For TEMPORARILY, it is understood that the student has an absence of several days (if the absence is for one or two days and does not affect the 80% mandatory attendance requirement, it is not considered as "temporarily"). For example, if the student has an illness or any other justified reason that could be considered serious, and this exceeds the allowed time for meeting the 80% mandatory attendance, it is required..., submit an application via electronic registry addressed to the Language and Terminology Service with a medical certificate within 3 days following recovery. It must be submitted along with supporting documentation justifying the absence. This must include a valid medical certificate stating the doctor's name and registration number, the date of the consultation, and personal information confirming the health condition and the period of absence. The documentation must be submitted within three days after the situation causing the absence has ended. In case of an unforeseen event due to force majeure, the student must attach a responsible declaration and provide the relevant documentation, if applicable, at the request of the SLT. If the absence from the final exam is due to an unforeseen circumstance, occurring either five days before or up to three days after the exam date, the student must submit an explanation of the situation and a request addressed to the Language and Terminology Service, which will make an objective decision and propose an alternative exam date. All information will be treated confidentially.

Is there a certificate at the end of the course? Are free elective credits recognised?
Our work speaks for itself.
Yes, there is a certificate. To obtain it:
- You must pass the final exam (one attempt only – no resits).
- You must complete at least 80% of both in-class and independent work.
For ECTS credit recognition (with the CE|Le course plan, between 2 and 6 credits can be obtained after completing three courses):
- Submit an application via the UJI electronic office:
- Go to: Recognition > Search > Application for recognition of optional credits for university activities in undergraduate studies > Procedure > List of university activities with credit recognition
- Select the academic year and the activity.
- Attach the course certificate, available at: IGLU > Digital signatures > Documents
ERASMUS students may submit the application at any time.

Is there a resit available if the final exam is not passed?
If a student fails the exam, they may request a review and attend a tutorial to receive feedback. However, no resit is offered, as the courses include continuous assessment at the end of each teaching unit; moreover, they are intensive and short in duration and, therefore, only one official exam session is scheduled. Students may re-enrol in the same course, if they wish or need to, in the following semester.
Tip 13
Tip 11
12
Is it possible to take more than one course in the same language per semester?
Language learning is a gradual process, where each course builds on knowledge acquired in the previous level. Therefore, the courses follow a continuous assessment model, allowing students to progress at their own pace and capability. With this in mind, simultaneous enrolment in two different levels of the same language is not permitted, as it may:
- Cause confusion when following the course content.
- Disrupt learning cohesion and structure.
- Hinder the student’s proper progression.
To ensure optimal results, students must complete one course at the appropriate level before moving on to the next. This guarantees smooth and effective learning progression. Have a look at this infographic of the possible combinations:
A building is never built starting from the roof; similarly, language learning progresses step by step, with each level built upon the previous one.

How can the electronic certificate of the course be accessed?
Once the final exam results have been published, the course certificates are digitally signed. Once digitally signed, students can find their certificates available in their personal IGLU area by following this path: 👉 IGLU > Digital Signatures > Documents From there, certificates can be viewed, downloaded, or attached to future applications, such as credit recognition. Please note that only digitally signed certificates are considered officially valid.
Tip 15
Tip

How can credit recognition be requested?
If the course has been completed and the certificate of achievement has been obtained, a request for the recognition of 2 optional ECTS credits can be made. To do so, the application must be submitted via the electronic office of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) . First, access the procedure catalogue on the IGLU electronic platform: Recognition > Application for recognition of optional credits for university activities in undergraduate studies. Then, click on "Process". Next, select the academic year and the corresponding activity (semester). ⚠️ Important: If the student is from UJI (not international) and has completed a Catalan course, the application deadlines must be observed. ERASMUS students may submit the application at any time. Finally, the course certificate must be attached, which can be found in IGLU > Digital Signatures > Documents. The credits are valid within UJI. Other universities may also recognise credits for this programme, but this depends on their respective regulations.
Recognising your ECTS credits means acknowledging all your learning beyond the compulsory courses.

Is it possible to continue learning within this programme once the course has finished?
Within this programme for Catalan and Spanish as foreign languages, students may enrol in courses in both languages, with different options available for Spanish: intensive and semi-intensive courses. ➡️ The primary requirement is that students cannot take courses at different levels simultaneously, nor enrol in more than one course in the same language at the same time, as simultaneous enrolment is not permitted. 📅 If a student starts the program in September and leaves in December, they can take, for example, up to 3 courses: ✅ Two Spanish courses (intensive + semi-intensive) ✅ One Catalan course (semi-intensive) If the stay is extended until May, students may take up to six courses, alternating between Catalan and Spanish, always following the prescribed level sequence and avoiding any overlap between courses . In this way, the international student can make the most of their stay by making steady progress in language learning and, where applicable, earning ECTS credits recognised by UJI or, if relevant, by their home university, in accordance with their institution’s regulations.
Speaking our languages is just the beginning: here, you immerse yourself in the culture and society, learning not only the words but the heart of the community where they come alive.

How can one access the Virtual Classroom?
- From the UJI website: www.uji.es
- With the Moodle Mobile app (see How to use the Virtual Classroom on mobile devices for more information).
⚠️ Most common access problems 1. Error “SAML2 Exception: UJI users are not authorised” or doubts about your username
- In this case, your lecturer can help you by:
- Entering the course page in the Virtual Classroom and searching for the student in the participants list.
- Checking the student’s UJI email (u0008634845@uji.es).
- 👉 The username is the part before the “@” (example: u0008634845).
2. Forgotten your password?
- Click on “Has oblidat la teua contrasenya?”
- Choose a secure recovery method.
- Create a new password (it must include at least one capital letter and one number).
- ✅ Once this is done, access will be restored.

What should be done if classes are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances?
🔔 Contingency plan in case of class cancellation 👉 If, due to any unforeseen circumstance (such as incidents at the university or issues with the group), face-to-face sessions cannot take place, classes will be moved to the Virtual Classroom (in synchronous session or sessions) as soon as possible. In each virtual classroom, there is a permanent Meet link exclusively for unexpected incidents, where students must connect if necessary. 🎯 The goal is to ensure that learning continues as smoothly as possible. 👉 If it is also not possible to access the Virtual Classroom (for example, due to a power cut or internet failure), you must pay attention to official communications:
- Through the University’s general announcements.
- Through general notices from the authorities.
💡 Tip: stay flexible, follow the instructions, and check the Virtual Classroom (AV) regularly to keep up to date.
In case of force majeure, please remember: if in-person classes cannot take place, we will meet in the Virtual Classroom — and if even that is not possible, stay calm and keep an eye on the official channels.

Is it possible to take more than one course in the same language per semester?
Language learning is a gradual process, where each course builds on knowledge acquired in the previous level. Therefore, the courses follow a continuous assessment model, allowing students to progress at their own pace and capability. With this in mind, simultaneous enrolment in two different levels of the same language is not permitted, as it may:
- Cause confusion when following the course content.
- Disrupt learning cohesion and structure.
- Hinder the student’s proper progression.
To ensure optimal results, students must complete one course at the appropriate level before moving on to the next. This guarantees smooth and effective learning progression. Have a look at this infographic of the possible combinations:A building is never built starting from the roof; similarly, language learning progresses step by step, with each level built upon the previous one.

How can the electronic certificate of the course be accessed?
Once the final exam results have been published, the course certificates are digitally signed. Once digitally signed, students can find their certificates available in their personal IGLU area by following this path: 👉 IGLU > Digital Signatures > Documents From there, certificates can be viewed, downloaded, or attached to future applications, such as credit recognition. Please note that only digitally signed certificates are considered officially valid.

How can credit recognition be requested?
If the course has been completed and the certificate of achievement has been obtained, a request for the recognition of 2 optional ECTS credits can be made. To do so, the application must be submitted via the electronic office of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) . First, access the procedure catalogue on the IGLU electronic platform: Recognition > Application for recognition of optional credits for university activities in undergraduate studies. Then, click on "Process". Next, select the academic year and the corresponding activity (semester). ⚠️ Important: If the student is from UJI (not international) and has completed a Catalan course, the application deadlines must be observed. ERASMUS students may submit the application at any time. Finally, the course certificate must be attached, which can be found in IGLU > Digital Signatures > Documents. The credits are valid within UJI. Other universities may also recognise credits for this programme, but this depends on their respective regulations.
Recognising your ECTS credits means acknowledging all your learning beyond the compulsory courses.

Is it possible to continue learning within this programme once the course has finished?
Within this programme for Catalan and Spanish as foreign languages, students may enrol in courses in both languages, with different options available for Spanish: intensive and semi-intensive courses. ➡️ The primary requirement is that students cannot take courses at different levels simultaneously, nor enrol in more than one course in the same language at the same time, as simultaneous enrolment is not permitted. 📅 If a student starts the program in September and leaves in December, they can take, for example, up to 3 courses: ✅ Two Spanish courses (intensive + semi-intensive) ✅ One Catalan course (semi-intensive) If the stay is extended until May, students may take up to six courses, alternating between Catalan and Spanish, always following the prescribed level sequence and avoiding any overlap between courses . In this way, the international student can make the most of their stay by making steady progress in language learning and, where applicable, earning ECTS credits recognised by UJI or, if relevant, by their home university, in accordance with their institution’s regulations.
Speaking our languages is just the beginning: here, you immerse yourself in the culture and society, learning not only the words but the heart of the community where they come alive.

What should be done if classes are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances?
🔔 Contingency plan in case of class cancellation 👉 If, due to any unforeseen circumstance (such as incidents at the university or issues with the group), face-to-face sessions cannot take place, classes will be moved to the Virtual Classroom (in synchronous session or sessions) as soon as possible. In each virtual classroom, there is a permanent Meet link exclusively for unexpected incidents, where students must connect if necessary. 🎯 The goal is to ensure that learning continues as smoothly as possible. 👉 If it is also not possible to access the Virtual Classroom (for example, due to a power cut or internet failure), you must pay attention to official communications:
- Through the University’s general announcements.
- Through general notices from the authorities.
💡 Tip: stay flexible, follow the instructions, and check the Virtual Classroom (AV) regularly to keep up to date.In case of force majeure, please remember: if in-person classes cannot take place, we will meet in the Virtual Classroom — and if even that is not possible, stay calm and keep an eye on the official channels.
