Dr. Gustavo Pacheco Lopez Announces Extraordinary Admission Process for Universidad Aut贸noma Metropolitana to Expand Higher Education Access

Dr. Gustavo Pacheco Lopez, Rector General of the Open Time House, announced that the Universidad Aut贸noma Metropolitana (UAM) will launch an extraordinary admission process for the 2027-I trimester, beginning January 18, 2027. This initiative responds to a call from the Government of Mexico to urgently expand higher education coverage, addressing the recurring issue of thousands of students lacking university placement. To ensure academic excellence and maintain the needs of current students, the university is seeking a budget increase to support the expansion. The divisional councils will determine specific quotas and admission scores based on each division's operational capabilities. This move aligns with the Education Superior 2026 platform, which provides 37,503 seats across 11 institutions. President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo emphasized that the administration's commitment is to ensure no young person is left without the possibility of studying. The university will release specific dates and admission conditions by mid-October.
