DEPUTY DIRECTORATE OF EXTENSION (DAEX)

University Extension is the University's action with the community that enables the sharing, with the external public, of knowledge acquired through teaching and research developed at the institution ( https://extensão.ufrj.br ). Extension accounts for at least 10% of the mandatory undergraduate course load at UFRJ.

In the undergraduate Physiotherapy course, the integration of extension activities into the curriculum was implemented in the 2017.1 curriculum reform. Therefore, all students who entered the Physiotherapy course from 2017.1 onwards are required to complete 516 hours of duly registered extension activities.

UFRJ Extension Actions are developed through Courses, Events, Projects or Programs, coordinated by professors and/or technical-administrative staff. These Actions must be registered with the Pro-Rector of Extension (PR-5) in order to be accredited and certified.

If you are a student and wish to participate in an extension activity, access the PR-5 website HERE to learn about all the actions available at UFRJ and during the course registration period, simply access the Integrated Academic Management System (SIGA) and register for the action of your interest.

ATTENTION! 
For students of the UFRJ Physiotherapy Course, below we detail the information you need to know to enroll in the Extension:

Students who enrolled in the course BEFORE 2017.1 are NOT required to complete the Extension course hours. Even if you opted for the 2017.1 curriculum (5 years), you are NOT required to complete the Extension course hours; in this rule, what matters is the year of enrollment in the course.

After choosing the extension activity that interests you, we suggest that you contact the coordinator of the activity to obtain information about how it will take place, dates, times, number of places available, and whether you qualify for the Extension Activity. Once you have the coordinator's approval, simply access the Integrated Academic Management System (SIGA) and request your registration. The coordinator will receive your request and accept your registration; you will then be included in the extension activity.

About registration in RCS Extension:

- FMWZ52 Extension Curricular Activity FTP , this is the RCS that needs to be included in your transcript, it will show your total workload each semester and at the end of the course it will count whether you have reached the 516 hours (registration in this RCS is only required once).

Even if an RCS (Registration Center) with a different name and code is listed, registration in FMWZ52 Curricular Activity Extension FTP is required.

- For academics who have a different RCS (Curricular Activity Card) in their transcript, it will be necessary to migrate the hours to the RCS FMWZ52 Extension Curricular Activity FTP.

When you start the 10th period, the coordinator must inform SIGA about the migration of this workload. To help with this process, you can send an email to the extension director informing them that you need to migrate this workload.

IMPORTANT:

You will only receive Extension hours if you participate as an implementing member of the activity of your interest;

- Extension courses in which you are an auditor do not entitle you to extension hours;

-At the end of each activity, the coordinator must enter their grade and the corresponding workload hours into SIGA . I emphasize that only the COORDINATOR of the extension activity can enter the grade and workload hours into SIGA.

- Extension hours will only be counted via SIGA ; activities that are not registered in SIGA will not be counted towards extension hours, regardless of whether or not there is a certificate for the activity.
