LIST OF APPLICANTS PROMOTED TO THE FIRST CAREER LEVEL FOR THE SI-2026 PERIOD

The leveling course is mandatory for all applicants who have accepted a place at the University of the Armed Forces ESPE (UFA ESPE). This course aims to prepare students for the academic challenges of their career and ensure a successful transition to university life.

The leveling course is carried out in two modalities: face-to-face and online. The leveling modality assigned to each student will depend on the modality of their career in which they accepted the quota:

  1. Face-to-face Modality: For those students whose careers are taught in face-to-face mode, the leveling course will be held at the corresponding campus of the UFA ESPE.

  2. Online Modality: For students of careers that are taught in online mode, the leveling course will be carried out through our virtual platforms, allowing flexibility and remote access to materials and activities.

It is important that all applicants verify the modality of their career and enroll in the corresponding leveling course. The dates and specific details about the start of the course in each academic period are communicated in a timely manner through the official channels of the UFA ESPE and to the personal emails of each applicant.

Voluntary Retirement Temporarily or Permanently

Applicants may request their voluntary withdrawal partially or permanently from the career leveling course:

-Temporary Voluntary Retirement

Until the end or closing date of the academic period in which the career leveling is taking place, attaching the supporting documentation applicable to the cases detailed below:

  • For serious or catastrophic illnesses duly certified by the Governing Authority of the National Public Health System.
  • Applicants dependent on public service servants, whose domicile has been transferred by virtue of their employment situation.
  • For natural disasters or circumstances of force majeure or fortuitous event that prevent them from continuing with their regular assistance, in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code.

In the event that the applicant who is studying career leveling is unable to submit the request for temporary voluntary retirement in person, it may be presented and processed by a person delegated by him or her to represent him/her.

When the request for temporary voluntary retirement originates due to circumstances of fortuitous event or force majeure, the application of the provisions for second enrollments, in the article of these regulations related to free tuition, will not be counted.

Career leveling applicants must enroll for up to two (2) academic periods following temporary voluntary retirement and, exceptionally, up to three (3) academic periods only for justified cases of catastrophic diseases, duly certified by the governing body of the National Public Health System.

-Voluntary Retirement Definitively

Submitting the corresponding application until the end or closing date of the academic period in which you are studying the career leveling.

The University must report in a general report to SENESCYT, the cases of partial voluntary withdrawal from career leveling within a period of no more than thirty (30) days, counted from the submission of the withdrawal request, which may be extended at the request of the University for up to a similar period.

The current internal regulations created for this purpose must establish the procedure, as well as those responsible for processing, registering and reporting all cases of voluntary retirement.

The University will cancel, ex officio or at the request of a party, the enrollment in career leveling that has been carried out in contravention of the provisions of the Organic Law of Higher Education and other applicable regulations in force; and, the respective processes, observing the rights and guarantees of due process.

La Universidad deberá reportar en un informe general a la SENESCYT, los casos de anulación de matrícula del curso de nivelación de carrera en un plazo de hasta treinta (30) días posteriores al cierre del período académico. In these cases, SENESCYT will disqualify the individual from participating in access processes for a period of four (4) academic terms following the incident.

The current internal regulations created for this purpose must establish the procedure, as well as those responsible for processing, registering and reporting cases of cancellation of enrollment.

Among the grounds for elimination shall be considered:

  • Falsification or adulteration of the attached documents as requirements for enrollment.
  • False information provided during the enrolment process.
  • Other causes contrary to the norm.

The principle of free tuition will only cover the first enrollment of the career leveling.

The free tuition will not cover the second enrollment of the career leveling, nor the cost corresponding to the tuition of the credits related to the second enrollment; it is the responsibility of the University to define the corresponding value.

There will be no third enrollment for the career leveling program.

The loss of the benefit of free tuition in career leveling will not affect the applicant’s free tuition during his/her training in the first career, provided that he/she complies with the provisions of the regulations to guarantee compliance with the free Higher Education; also for cases of second career, the provisions of said regulations must be observed. The procedure for accessing the right to free public higher education up to the third level of training, in cases where applicants are going to pursue a second degree in a public or private HEI, must be established in the internal regulations created for this purpose, and must consider whether or not the first career was financed by the State.

Based on the information sent by the Financial Unit, it will definitively eliminate the enrolments of the applicants who repeat leveling who have not made the payment of all outstanding economic obligations, within the dates established in the academic calendar of leveling and will inform the Department of Exact Sciences so that through the coordinator of the leveling area of knowledge, notify the applicant and process the update of the lists in the virtual classrooms.

For Admission to the First Level of Career, two components will be considered:

  • The number of places available in each career.
  • The final average of the applicant in the leveling course.

The University will reserve the right to establish the guidelines for admitting students to the first level, based on a commission chaired by the Office of the Vice-Rector for Teaching.

In the days following the end of the Leveling Course, the list of students admitted and not admitted to the first level will be published on the website (https://uar.espe.edu.ec/primer-nivel-de-carrera/).

Applicants who do not pass the career leveling course in their first enrollment may:

a. Take the career leveling as a second enrollment, in the academic period immediately following the one in which you did not pass the career leveling; or

b. Carry out again the admission process determined by the University, to obtain a place in the same field of knowledge and career in which they studied their first enrollment, this to take their second enrollment of career leveling, in case of not having made use of it in the academic period immediately following the non-approval; or

c. Carry out again and for one last time the admission process determined by the University, to obtain a place to take the leveling of careers in a field of knowledge different from the one in which you took your first enrollment, in this case you will have the option of taking a maximum of two enrollments in the leveling of careers.

For paragraphs a., b. and c. of this article, it must pay the registration and fee values corresponding to the loss of free career leveling.
