General requirements:

• At least 18 years of age when starting the program at UTDT.
• 3.0 minimum G.P.A.
• For MBA courses: be at least 26 years of age and have a minimum of 3 years of work experience.

• Official University transcript in English or Spanish including the grades of the most recent semester and an explanation of the grading system used at the home university.
• Language requirements: Certificates are only required when students will be taking courses in a language that is not their mother tongue nor that of instruction at their home university. Spanish: B2 or 4 semesters of college-level courses. English: B2.
• Copy of passport information page (if a multiple passport holder, please only send the one that will be used to enter Argentina).
• Formal color photo for UTDT student ID in .jpg format.
• Architecture and Design students must also submit a 5-20 page portfolio in .pdf format. weighing less than 10 MB. They will also be required to have a virtual admissions interview.

Submission:

• Incomplete applications will not be processed.
• An email confirmation will be sent when the application is received.
• Admissions decisions will be communicated via email approximately three weeks after the application deadline.

Course registration:

While the final course schedule is available approximately two weeks before each semester begins, we will require that once you receive your acceptance letter, you submit a tentative learning agreement (LA) completed with the course information of the previous academic year. You will be registered in the courses indicated on your LA, and as soon as the course schedule is published, you will receive it so as to determine if your courses have any overlaps. Since attendance is required at UTDT, you will need to make changes to your schedule should there be any overlapping courses. Changes will be only allowed during the add/drop period, which takes place during the first two weeks of the semester for undergraduate students and the first week of each module for graduate students. After these periods, any courses in which the student is enrolled will appear on the transcript to be sent to the home university.

Please take into consideration that many universities are closed when the second semester´s add/drop period at UTDT takes place (early August). Since no exceptions will be made to the add/period, please make sure to come to UTDT with more pre-approved courses than you would need to take so that you have options should you have to change your course registration.

Student fee:

All in-person students will be required to pay a one-time UTDT student fee of USD 50. This non-refundable fee will be charged upon acceptance and must be paid before the orientation program.
