To approve your application and send your acceptance letter, you must include in your file the pre-registration of subjects.

The subjects are offered in three blocks: Common Area, Undergraduate, and Graduate. Be sure to choose courses that meet your academic level and expectations, and that will be recognized by your university. As an exchange student, you must take a minimum of 4 subjects and a maximum of 9 subjects.

These courses are part of undergraduate academic programs and offer academic credits.

All the faculties are located within the Condesa Unit, except the School of Higher Studies in Health and Medicine, so you can combine courses from different degrees, within the same faculty, as long as there are no overlapping schedules.

In some degrees, some courses are only taught in the August-December period and some courses are only taught in the January-June period (indicated in the file).

To obtain your Multiple Migratory Form (FMM), when entering Mexico and going through immigration:

• Inform that you will be on academic mobility stay, and show your passport, visa, and acceptance letter if required.
• Inform the duration of your stay in Mexico: if you enter without a student visa, the immigration authority will write on your FMM: 180 days.
• If you enter with a student visa, the immigration authority will indicate in your FMM: a 30 days-exchange.
  The immigration authority will retain the upper part of the FMM and will give you the lower part on which they will affix a stamp with the entry date.
  Keep the original FMM with your passport since it will be necessary to prove your legal stay in Mexico and it is also required to leave the country, if you lose it you must replace it at the INM.

 

If your stay in Mexico will be two semesters (more than 180 days) you must obtain a student visa at the Mexican Consular Office closest to your place of residence.

Upon entering Mexico with a student visa you must obtain a Temporary Student Residence status:

• Within 30 days of your arrival, you must complete the “FMM exchange by Resident Card” procedure. This procedure is free.
• The foreigner who does not make the exchange of the FMM for the resident card within the specified period is subject to the sanctions provided by the General Population Law and may be removed from the mobility program.
• Once you obtain your resident card, you can enter and exit multiple times of the national territory. You must show your Resident Card at each entry/ exit.

Be sure that your FMM will mark 30 days exchange when you arrive in Mexico. If your FMM is not checked correctly, ask for a correction.
