How the Process Works

An Admission Committee evaluates and ranks the applicants. Some applicants might have their acceptance subject to a good performance in specific courses offered in our Program.

Course Registration

Every semester (specific dates vary), students must register for courses or activities listed in their study plan, which must be pre-approved by the student's advisor.

In special cases, students may withdraw from the program for 1 semester. A registration will be permanently cancelled if the student:

1. Does not finish the program in the maximum stipulated time;

2. Fails the same exam twice, or different exams 3 times;

3. Does not mantain minimum performance, as determined by the Program.
