From Unicauca, we are making a call that will shape what’s to come: enroll in our undergraduate programs and realize your dreams through high-quality public higher education. Registrations will be open from October 18 to November 22, 2024, so if you’re interested in making one of the best decisions, check the detailed information about the academic offerings available in Popayán and at our Santander de Quilichao campus.

We know you are facing one of the most important decisions of your life: 'What will I dedicate myself to?' So, from the Alma Mater of Cauca, we are making a call that will undoubtedly bring about a significant change. Do you accept our call?

We are waiting for you at one of the best public higher education institutions in the country; an institution approaching its 200th anniversary, which received its High-Quality Accreditation from the Ministry of National Education in 2013—a very important seal that was renewed in 2019 and is currently undergoing self-evaluation for reaccreditation in 2027.

So, if you’ve decided to respond to this call, it’s important to start by reviewing Academic Agreement 028 of 2024, which specifies key dates for your admission process. Keep in mind that registrations will be open from October 18 to November 22. Additionally, in Academic Agreement 029 of 2024, you can consult the available programs and the number of slots offered for the first semester of 2025, both in Popayán and at our Santander de Quilichao campus.

Remember that having the results of the ICFES Saber 11 tests is essential, as they are a requirement to begin the process.

And since our goal is to help more people transform their lives through education at our institution, it’s important to mention that the University of Cauca offers various alternatives to facilitate access to higher education. What are they?

Here’s the list: if you come from a region without higher education institutions (such as the Islands of San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina); if you are part of the Afro population of the Cauca Pacific, belong to an indigenous community in Cauca, live in marginalized areas of the region, or are a victim of the armed conflict in Cauca; if you received the Andrés Bello distinction, or if you are a teacher from one of the educational institutions with which we have agreements, or a graduate from one of the 13 municipalities in northern Cauca, we invite you to check how to apply according to your situation and follow the necessary steps at the following link. https://www.unicauca.edu.co/vicerrectoria-academica/darca/inscripciones-...

However, it is important to emphasize that registering in any of these categories does not guarantee automatic recognition or admission.

On another note, it’s important to keep in mind that the Alma Mater of Cauca implements the Free Education Policy, established by Decree 1667 of 2021, issued by the National Government through the Ministry of National Education (MEN). This policy has an Operational Regulation, so if you believe you meet the requirements to access this benefit, we invite you to review the related information.

Nevertheless, remember that it is the Ministry of National Education (MEN) that grants this benefit, not the University of Cauca

Now, there are three programs offered for the first semester of 2025 that require additional aptitude tests. Therefore, if you aspire to study Plastic Arts, Band Direction, or a Bachelor's in Ethnoeducation, we recommend reading about the additional requirements here. https://www.unicauca.edu.co/vicerrectoria-academica/darca/pruebas-adicionales/

So we ask you again: will you respond to this call that can transform your life? This university, which is #HeritageOfAll, not only invites you to be part of its history but also to build your own with our support. Together, we can open the doors to a future full of possibilities, where higher education is not just a means, but the path to realizing your dreams.

Being a Unicaucano or Unicaucana means embracing a community committed to knowledge, culture, and progress.

We are already excited that you want to study with us, and we thank the hundreds of applicants who will apply to be part of the Alma Mater of Cauca. We will be waiting for you in January 2025.

Dare to answer our call! Make the decision to become the protagonist of a promising future.
