Update your information
Enter with your student ID number and email password to our admission process page and update your information in the “Admission application” section.
Remember, as a PrepaTec student, if at the time of your graduation you have an average of 80 or higher, your pass to Professional is direct* and you will only have to complete the steps mentioned next.
If you do not have this average, we ask that you contact your admissions advisor to learn about the additional steps to follow.
*Some programs have additional admission requirements.
Submit your admission documents
Submit your admission documents at the campus to which you’re applying:
Notice: To give continuity to your admission process and prioritizing the welfare of our community, due to the spread of COVID-19, we will be temporarily receiving the documents to complete your admission file in digital format. You will receive information from your admissions advisor:
- The last 2 pages of the application you filled out in the admission process page, signed by you, one of your parents/legal guardian and the person responsible for payment of tuition.
- Copy of official photo ID with signature of the person responsible for payment of tuition.
- If you are underage, official photo ID with signature of one of your parents/legal guardian.
- If you are of legal age, copy of your official photo ID with signature.
The programs from the Health area have additional requirements, contact your advisor for more information.
Find out your admission result
You will receive an email notifying you of your admission to the program to which you applied. You can then continue with your enrollment process.
If you completed the admission process for any of the following programs: Physician and Surgeon, B.A. in Biosciences, B.A. in Nutrition and Wellness, B.A. in Psychology, Medical and Surgical Dentist, or Health (Exploration area), after being evaluated by the Admissions Committee you will be given your admission result, which can be one of the following: accepted, not accepted, waitlisted, or decision pending; the latter indicates that we require additional elements. The Person Responsible for Admissions at the campus of your interest will inform you of the additional elements required.
The admission result notification date will depend on when you completed your file; find the details in the section “Important dates”.
The decision of the Admissions Committee is final. Since the selection process is private and confidential, Tecnológico de Monterrey does not disclose the reasons for the admission decision reached.
Confirm your enrollment to Tec
Pay the tuition advance payment of $7,000 pesos here to confirm your entry to the undergraduate level. Consult the payment methods in the admissions department at your campus of interest. In addition, check out the undergraduate entry events, create your class schedule, select your payment and insurance plans, and pay your tuition.
As a PrepaTec student, your tuition payment insurance for entry to the Undergraduate level is already covered. However, if you decide to enter the Undergraduate level in a semester other than the one immediately after your graduation from PrepaTec you will have to pay this insurance.
After July 29, 2022, in order to complete your enrollment, you must pay the equivalent of the first tuition payment plus the cost of the tuition payment insurance current at that time. Ask you admissions advisor about the amounts.
Deadline for requesting a tuition advance payment refund: August 5, 2022.
