Evaluation of Applications and Registration Procedures
Applications with complete documentation will be taken into consideration. The evaluation—which includes verifying whether the application requirements are met, as well as determining the courses and semesters for which the student will be responsible—is conducted and decided upon by the relevant Unit Administrative Boards.
NOTE: In the event that the institutional affiliation of the academic unit—where a student was originally entitled to enroll or from which their enrollment was terminated—has changed, applications for the relevant program must be submitted to the higher education institution to which the program has been transferred. Applications submitted to our University in such cases will be rejected.
