Application of the Residence Rule Between the UAGM Premises

The residence credits established in the credit Transfer Policy 16-2020 do not apply to student transfers
between the campuses of the Universidad Ana G. Méndez. Students between campuses move with all
courses and grades that are part of their academic record. Therefore, these grades will be transferred to
their academic record. This includes approved, not approved and transferred courses. For the purposes
of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard (NPAS) the student must be reevaluated in the campus to
which he/she will be moving and the NPAS will be applied according to what corresponds. This rule is of
immediate application, so any student who is transferred from the UAGM will be evaluated in accordance
with what is established in this document.
