About the Group

Our group develops devices in the areas of bio-mechatronics and autonomous vehicles.

In the bio-mechatronics area, the objective is to assist the human motion during rehabilitation and to help geriatric people with wearable robotics. In the case of autonomous vehicles (AV’s), we focus on the assistance during natural disasters by using teams of heterogeneous robots (air and ground AV’s) that interact simultaneously.

PrepaTec Multicultural
Bachillerato Internacional
ADMISSION
ADMISSION APPLICATIONexpand_more
When I begin my application process two options are shown: “by academic program” and “by campus”. What’s the difference?

The only difference is that you have the choice to begin by either selecting the campus or the program you’re interested in, but the information that will be shown is the same, regardless of the option you choose.

If I still don’t know on which campus I’m going to study, can I select any campus and carry on with my online admission process?

Yes, we recommend selecting a first choice for campus and, afterwards, make the change in the same ADMISSION PROCESS page.

I can’t choose the academic program I want to study.

To choose the academic program, you must click the name of the desired program and then move the bar on the lower right side of the screen downwards to click on the “Save” button that appears in the lower part of the box.

In the “addresses and phone numbers” and/or “previous studies” section, I can’t find the name of my neighborhood, what can I do?

If you can’t find the name of your neighborhood, you have to choose the option “Undefined” from the list and you will be shown automatically other fields to enter the information of your neighborhood, or, make some specification, such as no number, no name, among others.

When I want to select the person responsible for the tuition payment I get a message telling me I have to enter his/her RFC(Taxpayer ID Code).

This is necessary. In order to select a person as the responsible for tuition payment you must enter the RFC. Otherwise, the system won’t allow you to save the information. You can consult the RFC in the following page: HTTP://WWW.CONSISA.COM.MX/RFC.

An “x” appears in the “related people” section and I have already filled out all the information.

Make sure of having filled out all the fields marked as mandatory (*). Once you’re sure, click the “save” and “save all” buttons.

Tip: In each section where you’re asked to enter the address of related people there’s a button that allows you to copy the information that you entered as your local or permanent address. If any of the addresses is the same as the one of the related people, you can copy it by clicking the “copy” button.

I can’t remember the exact dates in which I started and finished middle school and/or high school, as well as the cumulative GPA I’m asked in the “previous studies” section. What can I do about it?

You can choose approximate dates and/or the closest average to the real one to move forward with the application. However, it is important that this section is updated as soon as possible with precise information.

I have completed all the sections in the “Check your application”. How can I send the application and continue my admission process?

Follow these easy steps:

a) Click on the “Admission application” icon (upper side)
b) Find the “Check your application” option
c) Click on “Send”
d) Accept terms and conditions (checking the box in the lower side)
e) Click on the “Send application” button
