The Industrial University of Santander (UIS) has announced an extension of the enrollment period for undergraduate programs offered by the Institute for Regional Outreach and Distance Education (IPRED). This decision aims to provide more opportunities for those wishing to begin higher education studies in 2026 through a flexible and high-quality academic model.
Enrollment, originally scheduled to close on December 9, will now remain open until January 12, 2026 for payment processing, while the online registration form may be completed until January 14. This extension represents a key opportunity for prospective students across the country who need additional time to gather documents or make the required payment.
UIS emphasized that its distance and virtual programs are designed to meet the needs of individuals who work, care for their families, or live in regions where access to in-person higher education is limited. IPRED continues to strengthen its position as a public, high-quality higher education alternative with national coverage.
