Not possible.
You must compulsorily register for the subject in which you are on probation, together with 2 additional subjects.
However, it is not advisable to take additional subjects. There is a possibility that you may not be a regular student, since, if you register in 2 additional subjects, you will have to consider that the cost you will have to pay before the beginning of the next semester will be higher.
If a student who is not a regular student starts his/her internship within the period he/she is registered for, these credits will also count towards achieving regularity. Once the internship coordinator approves the student's internship registration, the student will be regular.
This process is established in the registration instructions corresponding to each PAO, the equivalence is 1 credit for every 48 hours of internships completed.
A student is a regular student when he/she registers a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 15 credits in his/her regular semester.
It is possible to request the homologation of these courses as long as the course consists of a minimum of 28 hours. To do so, you must send a request to the Dean's Office at the following e-mail address: decanatodegrado@espol.edu.ec attaching the course approval certificate.

A student may request the Board of Directors of his/her academic unit, the withdrawal of one or more subjects, courses or equivalents, outside the term defined in the institutional academic calendar, only in the case of fortuitous situations or force majeure, demonstrating in a documented manner to be unable to continue with his/her studies; the cause or event declared must be unforeseeable, irresistible and not attributable to negligence of the student.
The maximum term for the presentation of the request in the cases established in the preceding paragraph shall not exceed two academic terms following the academic term for which the withdrawal request applies, as long as it has not been registered in the immediately preceding academic term. In exceptional cases, the Polytechnic Council may rule on applications that are submitted outside the maximum period indicated.
Should the request for withdrawal be made for one or more subjects whose registration was made within the extraordinary enrollment period, the amount paid will not be refunded.
