Le dáis a "Archivo", "descargar como Word", "Abrir como word" y "Aceptar" y la rellenáis y la grabáis.

Muchas gracias por adelantado. Documento

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE MATRÍCULA

Hola a todos,
Aunque nos veremos el martes 22 en horario normal de clase para revisar los exámenes os anuncio que mañana lunes 21 y el martes 22 en horario de tarde os podéis pasar por conserjería para recoger la documentación para la matrícula, abono de tasas y abono de fotocopias (este último se puede pagar ahora o en octubre).
El lunes 28 y 29 en horario de 9:00 a 13:00 se podrá realizar la matriculación para los alumnos oficiales. Los horarios para el año que viene son siempre provisionales, así que habrá que esperar a septiembre.
IMPORTANTE: si alguien tiene alguna limitación con el horario y suspende en junio y va para septiembre, si no quiere presentarse en septiembre y quiere repetir directamente, tendrá que presentar por escrito su renuncia al derecho de examen de septiembre para poder matricularse ahora en junio y poder elegir horario antes de que se terminen las plazas libres en el horario deseado. En septiembre estará más limitado.
Eso es todo.
Nos vemos el martes en clase.
Un beso,
Penélope
