UNAM Calendar 2026: When do classes begin for new students and re-enrollment after the entrance exam?

The Colegio de Directoras y Directores de Facultades y Escuelas of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) has held a meeting to address a recommendation issued by the Technical Commission of Experts for Review regarding the 2026 academic calendar, specifically concerning the start dates for new and reenrolled students following control examinations.

Simultaneously, regional educational developments involve the Ministry of Education (Minerd) in the Dominican Republic scheduling national examinations. Approximately 28,000 secondary and adult education students have been called to participate in the second convocatoria of national tests, which is slated to take place from August 6 to 9 across 270 locations.

These concurrent administrative updates highlight distinct educational scheduling and assessment procedures across different Latin American institutions, focusing on academic entry timelines in Mexico and national testing administration in the Dominican Republic.
