Special students are those enrolled in isolated subjects, following a specific notice published each semester. The acceptance of special students will depend on the existence of vacancies in the intended subject and will be conditioned to the evaluation of the documentation of the candidates by the teacher responsible for the subject. Enrollment as a special student does not create a link with the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies, Memory and Heritage (PROMEP), on which entry as a regular student depends on a specific selection process.

They may apply for a special student position with a higher education diploma in the areas of History, Archaeology, Architecture, Museology, Geography, Social Sciences, Social Work, Tourism, Information Science, Librarianship, Law, Visual Arts, Anthropology and areas related to PROMEP research lines.
