By San José, Costa Rica — The National Distance Education University (UNED) is set to revolutionize its enrollment process for the third quarter of 2025. From August 25th to 30th, students can register for courses exclusively through the university’s online platform. This shift marks a significant step towards a more efficient and accessible educational experience.
Raquel Zeledón Sánchez, Vice-Rector of Student Life, emphasized the importance of adhering to the designated enrollment schedule, which varies by academic level. Students are urged to consult the official UNED website for specific dates and deadlines.
