Those applicants who have carried out previous studies in educational institutions incorporated to the State Governments, must present the corresponding documents duly legalized.

Foreign or national applicants with studies abroad, who present the corresponding documentation in a language other than Spanish, must translate it into said language, legalize it before the competent authority of the country where it was issued, as well as before the Mexican Consular Service or before the accredited representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country of origin. For member countries of the Hague Convention, it will be enough for the documentation to be apostilled with the certification seal. Foreign students will also present two copies of the immigration document issued by the Mexican Government that demonstrates their legal stay in the country.

Transitory applicants must submit 3 credential size photographs, a copy of their passport or birth certificate, and an official transcript from the school of origin.

Applicants from other higher education institutions may enter if they meet the admission requirements. The studies carried out by these applicants will be subject to review for equivalence or revalidation based on their content and the qualification obtained in accordance with the University scale.

Applicants for a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate must process the corresponding Official Revalidation or Equivalence of Studies at the Ministry of Public Education. Applicants for a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate Degree must submit an official transcript from the institution of origin, and request revalidation of studies from the respective Academic Coordination. The University reserves the right to fully or partially recognize the equivalency opinion issued by the Ministry of Public Education. Likewise, for the purpose of recognizing the subjects, the student must pay the equivalent of one credit, for each subject revalidated within a period of no more than 90 calendar days from their first registration. The revalidation or equivalence procedures must be carried out during the first school period of stay of the interested party in the institution. Otherwise, you will lose all right to present them, having to take 100% of the credits at the institution. In no case will more than 45% of the total credits of the respective program be revalidated or accredited.
