Study and Learning in AVANCE

  1. Students of the AVANCE Program may register in courses of the different study programs offered by the University.
  2. The AVANCE Program makes available to adults several flexible forms or study alternatives, thus facilitating the possibility of taking courses through the regular modality and other nontraditional modalities of study, including among others: study by contract with support of the Web, courses totally online, and combined study.
  3. Educational activities will be conducted with suitable resources that facilitate and stimulate the learning experience, in which the professors can effectively develop the adult student classes. Each campus will provide support services that will assure the best conditions for the academic achievement of the student.

The Services Program for Adult Students offers a system of flexible admission, validation of experiences, diverse modalities of study and individualized attention to the adult population that undertakes post-secondary and university studies. In this way, AVANCE recognizes the continuous changes in society, the professional challenges and the need to enrich the continuous learning of adults.

AVANCE visualizes adult education as a process in which participants can face the challenges of employment, including self-employment, enhanced by a self-directed university experience.

The Program offers adult students the opportunity to:

  1. Acquire necessary experiences that stimulate personal development and strengthen adult citizen development.
  2. Promote learning experiences by means of special study sessions, flexible schedules and a diversity of academic terms, through the use of nontraditional curricular modalities, such as online courses, combined courses of study and study by contract with Web support.
  3. Offer validation of learning experiences by means of written tests, proficiency tests and portfolio.
  4. Update, expand and reorient their professional education beyond the academic degrees they already have.
  5. Have the means for the acquisition of an academic degree that aims to enable the adult in the performance of a profession in accord with the demands of the present world.
