Notifications for Portuguese universities: ISCTE, U.Minho, U.Lisboa, U.Porto, NOVA

EPortuguese universities (public: U.Lisboa, U.Porto, U.Minho, U.Coimbra, U.Aveiro, ISCTE-IUL; private: Católica, Lusíada, Lusófona, NOVA) host >400,000 students, 15% international (Erasmus + lusophone). 4notify activates enrolment, tuition and class notifications with SIS integration.
Context

Legal framework
Lei n.º 62/2007 — Ensino Superior

Electronic notification allowed with consent.

RGPD — Retenção 5 anos pós graduação

Student data retained 5 years post completion.
