It consists of a support of the 100% exoneration in the first three courses in classroom learning mode. From the fourth course, a 20% exoneration is provided, granted by the IC-UCR to this population so that they can continue their Mandarin Chinese studies. However, this 20% exoneration does not apply to courses in virtual mode.
