- Students on national mobility programmes (Exchange System between Spanish Universities [SICUE]) or international mobility students who are currently in their country or province of origin.
- Students from other Spanish provinces who are no longer residing in Granada and who can prove that a social or financial situation prevents them from moving to Granada and who do not meet the requirements to apply for Social Grants.
- Other possible exceptional circumstances that are claimed and accredited. These will be processed and assessed by the Vice-Rector for Student Services and Employability and, if admitted, will be communicated to the relevant faculties and schools.
