EN Disclosure of Admission Criteria
Our admission guidelines and processes are designed to ensure that students with the appropriate potential are enrolled, allowing them to successfully complete and benefit from the educational offerings.
Before enrollment, we inform candidates about admission requirements, the nature of the courses offered, and the expectations of our academic programs. We require that, before completing the registration process, students acknowledge that they have accessed the catalog and other institutional documents, confirming their understanding and acceptance of the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both the student and the institution.
We admit students without distinction of race, color, nationality, disability, sex, or age. Reasonable accommodations are provided for applicants and students with disabilities, as required by applicable law.
When necessary, official transcripts required for admission must be submitted within an enrollment period not exceeding 12 semester credits; otherwise, the student will be dismissed from the program.
Student Identity Verification
Identity verification is an essential step in our educational process. We initiate the validation of the student's identity at the time of admission to ensure that the individual participating in the process is the same person who completes the courses and assessments.
Underage Students
We do not offer programs for underage students.
Admission Criteria
UNINQ University’s admission criteria align with its mission and the profile of the students it serves. We define the qualifications that a candidate must possess to succeed in the available educational offerings and apply these criteria fairly and consistently. If we accept a student who does not meet these criteria, we document the reasons or justifications for the exception.
Documents that are not in Portuguese are evaluated by a qualified party and translated into Portuguese or assessed by competent translators fluent in the original language. These translators have experience in the educational practices of the country of origin and provide the translation along with a Portuguese review.
For candidates whose native language is not Portuguese, we verify language proficiency, especially for those who have not earned a degree from an accredited institution where Portuguese is the primary language of instruction.
Non-Degree Programs – For eligible students and available programs, we require official documentation confirming that the candidate has completed high school or an equivalent recognized qualification at the time of admission. We implement self-certification procedures requiring:
- A signed declaration attesting to high school completion or its equivalent.
- The name of the institution, city, state, and year of completion within the declaration.
Graduate (Master’s) Programs – At the time of admission, we require official documentation confirming that the candidate has obtained a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
Doctoral Programs – For doctoral program applicants, we require documentation confirming that the candidate has obtained a bachelor’s, master’s, or equivalent degree from an accredited institution, with relevant academic experience. The minimum requirement is the completion of a graduate program before admission.
Admission Acceptance and Rejection
Candidates are informed of their acceptance through a welcome letter. If an application is rejected, the candidate is notified, and the reasons for denial are recorded.
Enrollment Agreements
Enrollment agreements clearly outline the educational offerings and ensure that the candidate fully understands their rights, responsibilities, and obligations, as well as those of the institution, before signing.
Students must acknowledge and accept, prior to signing, the tuition refund policy and the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties. The terms of the refund policy are included in the enrollment agreement, catalog, and on the official UNINQ University website.
The enrollment agreement is not binding until it is submitted by the student and approved by the institution. The student receives a signed copy of the agreement within 10 days of acceptance, and the document is kept in the student's records.
If there is a separate payment agreement, it is integrated into the enrollment agreement.
Transfer Credits and Experiential Learning
We maintain a clear and fair transfer credit policy, published in the catalog. The process for requesting transfer credits is transparent, and the required documents for evaluation are clearly disclosed. Students may appeal transfer credit decisions following the established procedures. Transfer requests are not denied solely based on the accreditation status of the institution that granted the credits.
Credits granted through experiential learning or equivalent methods do not exceed 25% of the credits required for a degree program. We keep official records of the reasons for granting such credits.
When a student seeks to transfer more credits than the permitted percentage, we conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure that the credits align with the program’s learning outcomes. In such cases, the transfer will not exceed the applicable state-mandated limits or the following percentages:
- Up to 90% of credits for undergraduate programs
- Up to 75% for master’s programs
- Up to 40% for doctoral programs
Credit Policy by Educational Level
Graduate (Master’s) Programs – Up to 50% of the required master’s program credits may be granted through credit transfer. The transferred courses must align with the program and be equivalent in content and academic level.
Doctoral Programs – Up to 15% of the required doctoral program credits (or 9 semester credits in a 60-credit program) may be granted through credit transfer. The transferred courses must be relevant to the doctoral program.
We accept credit recognition for courses and/or academic activities equivalent to those in the program, excluding final thesis or dissertation work.
