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. [^11][^12]

Students planning to apply should have their full Social Security number, mailing address, personal email, and intended academic program on hand. [^13]
