After paying the application fee, Academic Services will analyze if the required documents were dully attached given that:

• The application only will be validated/accepted if submitted with all required documents, in which case the candidate is notified of its validation.
• The application will be refused if the candidate does not fulfill the admission conditions to the course to which is applying for, or if the missing documents weren’t attached to the application within the referred deadline. The candidate will be notified of that and, if he/she wants, may reapply in subsequent phases of application.

• The application will not be validated in case of missing documents, in which case the candidate is notified that he/she has 24 hours to access and submit again the application in SIIUE. Documents sent by other means will not be accepted.

Note that the notifications should be consulted in SIIUE through the credentials used to submit the application. An email is also sent, however as sometimes it may be considered spam, the candidates must be careful and consult the SIIUE to see if they have notifications.
