Graduate programs at UPV operate on either of two modes of the academic calendar. For any program, the academic year is made up of either of two terms or semesters, or, three terms or trimesters.
Applications for admission shall be addressed to the Dean of college/school offering the degree program. Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year and accompanying documents should be received one month before the start of the academic year to provide enough time for consideration and processing. Applicants notified of their acceptance for admission should inform the Dean of the college/school concerned of their decision to enroll or not, as soon as possible.
