Admission process

1. GENERAL ADMISSION

This method is aimed at those who have already finished school.

Step 1: Apply

To apply, submit the following documents at any of our four admission counters (Monterrico, San Isidro, San Miguel and Villa):

• Registration form
• Admission fee payment (S/. 500)

Step 2: Assess your potential

You will receive your comprehensive evaluation date, a mandatory test to define if you may start studying your program-specific courses or if you need to strengthen some particular area before.

Did you pass the comprehensive evaluation?

If you pass the comprehensive evaluation, and according to the grade obtained, you may be exonerated from the remedial courses in your program.

What to do in case you did not pass the Comprehensive Evaluation?

In case you don’t pass the Comprehensive Evaluation, you must apply again to take the Admission Exam.

Step 3: Check your results

Visit our web page the Monday after your exam, from 6:00 p.m. You’ll find the electronic payment slip to be printed.

Step 4: Join UPC

Once you pass your evaluation, you must effectively enroll by going to any of our four admission counters. It’s important to take the following documents with you:

• Simple copy of your National Identification Document (DNI)

2. ADMISSION - PREFERRED SELECTION

If you were an outstanding student in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year of secondary school or have belonged to the upper third or have obtained an average of 15 or higher, this is your application method.
