Admission
Requirements: Admission to Certificate
Programs
Inter American University will admit
students to any of its campuses for any
registration period of the academic year for
which they were admitted. Students are
admitted to a certificate program on the
condition that they meet the established
requirements.
Students who apply for admission to the
Postsecondary Non-degree Technical and
Vocational Program must:
1. Provide evidence of graduation from an
accredited high school or its equivalent.
2. Provide an updated immunization
certificate (PVAC-3) if the applicant is
under 21.
3. Attend an interview when it is deemed
necessary.
Conditioned admissions may be granted to
students who have difficulty obtaining
required documentation. Once the documents
are received, their admission status would
change from conditioned to official. All
documents must be submitted on or before 30
days after classes begin. Any other
admission requirements for specific
certificates will be indicated upon
admission.
A student from the Postsecondary Non-degree
Technical and Vocational Program may apply
to admission to the regular institutional
program (associate degree or bachelor’s) if
he/she has obtained a minimum 2.0 GPA upon
completing the program. The certificate GPA
will be substituted for the high school GPA
admission requirement. All other regular
program admission criteria established in
the General Catalog will apply.
Admission Procedure
Students applying for admission to a
specific campus must:
1. Obtain an admission application from the
selected campus Admissions Office through
high school guidance counselors or other
authorized personnel.
2. Submit the application to the campus
Admissions office.
3. Submit a sealed high school transcript to
the Admissions Office.
4. Submit an updated immunization
certificate (PVAC-3) if the candidate is
under 21.
5. Send a $25.00 deposit if the applicant
plans to live at the San German Campus
dormitories. This deposit will be applied to
dormitory charges or returned if the student
is denied admission or applies for a refund
before August 1st. (See the section on
student dormitories)
Admission of Transfer Students
Candidates who wish to transfer from another
university will be able to transfer a
maximum of 5% of their study program.
Transfer courses must have a grade of C or
higher and will not be considered in
determining the students’ GPA. Transfer
credits will count in determining the
maximum time allotted to complete a study
program.
Admission of Veterans
All of the University programs are
authorized by both the Veterans’
Administration and the Department of
Education of the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico. Veterans interested in receiving
veteran education benefits may apply through
the Registrar’s Office of the selected
Campus. |
