Puerto Rico's Department of Education and the University of Puerto Rico will take the UPR admission application directly into the island's public secondary schools this week. [1] The Jornada Simultánea de Solicitudes de Admisión runs Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., when twelfth-grade students can complete their UPR admission application online during school hours. [2][3][4] School counselors and university staff will accompany students through the process, and all eleven UPR campuses will provide orientation and support. [5][6] Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés said the event aims to give students the resources to continue their education and achieve their goals, [7] and UPR Vice President for Student Affairs Jonathan Muñoz Barreto highlighted its focus on guiding students through the transition to university life. [8] The event responds to Law 113-2025, which mandates annual admissions events on the third Thursday of September, institutionalizing the process for future years. [9][10] This session is open to every twelfth grader, whether or not they qualify for automatic admission.
