What is the Second Stage of Social Service?
The Professional Social Service (SSP) is the second stage of the university social service, intended for students. During this stage, students apply the knowledge, skills, abilities, and values acquired throughout their academic training in specific activities. The SSP requires a minimum of 480 hours and is an essential requirement for obtaining a degree, as established in the University Statute.

When the student has completed 85% of the credits of the study plan but has not yet been assigned to the second stage of social service, re-enrollment will only be authorized with an academic load not exceeding three learning units until this stage is completed.
