8=1 PROGRAM

INFORMACIÓN PARA ALUMNOS

To accumulate your activities corresponding to the 8=1 requirement, you must register on the platform of the “Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training“.


Only activities that have been registered on the platform are eligible to participate. Any activity that does not appear on the platform will not be considered valid for the 8=1 activity registration process. It is the student’s responsibility to verify whether the activity in which they participate is registered in the system of the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training.
The program begins on the first day of classes of the semester and concludes three weeks before the last day of classes.
Requests for registration and credit submitted after the conclusion date will not be processed for the current semester and cannot be applied to the following semester.

For the 2025-2 semester, the deadline for activity registration is November 5, 2025.

  • Registration requests for events submitted after that date will no longer be processed.
  • Requests for 8=1 credit are submitted through a form provided by the Faculty Administration to the students.
  • All activities to be registered must have a date prior to November 5 and fall within the current semester period (2025-2).
  • The system does not allow the accumulation of activities from a previous semester with those of the following one.

You must complete the eight activities before the end of the corresponding semester period, as they cannot be carried over. In other words, credits can only be obtained for activities that are registered and completed (attended) during the same semester.
Please verify that the activity in which you are participating is registered on the 8=1 platform, or confirm with the organizers that it is part of the 8=1 program.
Students are advised to request the QR code in order to personally register the activity, or alternatively, obtain the contact email of the event organizers in case the activity is not registered on the platform due to any oversight.

Activities from the previous semester cannot be carried over or combined with those of the following semester.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE?

To obtain the corresponding credit, you must register and validate the activities (by either receiving the QR code or appearing on the event registration list) through your Faculty’s Integral Training platform. The student is responsible for registering the QR code within 15 days of the event date or confirming that the organizer has correctly recorded their student ID number in the event registration list.


To participate in this program, the following requirements must be met:

  • Be an active student enrolled in an academic program of the University.
  • Register on the platform of the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training.
  • Attend the events, keeping track of participation using your QR code and registering your attendance at each event.
  • Register the activities on the platform (using the QR code) after completing the activity and within 15 days.
  • Request accreditation for the 8=1 activities through the form sent by the Faculty’s Professional Training Coordination Office via email toward the end of the semester.

The system does not automatically generate the registration; the student must request it.

HOW DO I REGISTER MY ACTIVITIES?

To obtain the credit, the student must complete eight 8=1 activities and request the credit from their Faculty Administration at the end of the semester.

Each faculty has different procedures, so students who are not enrolled in FCQI must contact the administration of their respective faculty for guidance.

In the case of FCQI, the Faculty’s Professional Training Coordination Office sends an email with instructions and forms for submitting the credit request.

The process is not automatic, if the student does not submit the request, the credit will not be granted automatically.

Registration of 8=1 Activities Using QR Codes

● The student attends an activity of interest that is registered under the 8=1 program.
● The student receives the event’s QR code or a participation record.
● The student must log in to the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training platform within 15 days. Access can be made directly through the QR code provided by the event organizers. (After this 15-day period, the activity can no longer be registered.)
● If the event is not registered on the platform, the organizer must submit the participation list to the Faculty Administration at the end of the semester. Therefore, it is important for students to register during the event and request a contact email from the organizer in case their participation does not appear on the list.
● The student accumulates eight activities.
●On the dates specified by the Faculty (the Professional Training Coordination Office will send an email), the student must request the credit registration in the Kardex. The credit will be granted only if the student has eight registered/accumulated activities and has not exceeded the maximum number of credits allowed for their current stage of study (basic, disciplinary, or terminal).

The QR codes are used to minimize errors in the data entry process. Therefore, students are advised to log in to the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training platform and register their participation by entering the event code.

QR codes are non-transferable — once a code has been registered, it cannot be used again.

HOW DOES THE GRADE APPEAR ON MY KARDEX?

The grade associated with the 8=1 activities will appear on the student’s Kardex with the notation “Accredited.”

There is no numerical grade associated with these credits; therefore, they will appear as either “Accredited” or “Not Accredited.”

You may earn a maximum of six (6) credits in the Basic Stage through this modality.

You may earn a maximum of four (4) credits in the Disciplinary and Terminal Stages through this modality.

In the Kardex, the codes associated with this modality are as follows:

  • Code – Course Name
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities I
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities II
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities III
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities IV
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities V
  • Semester-assigned code: Complementary Integral Training Activities VI

ABOUT THE EVENT BULLETIN

The event bulletin featuring cultural, artistic, sports, and health prevention activities, organized by the School of Sports, the Faculty of Arts, and other academic units, is available on the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training platform.

You can consult the event bulletin on the Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training website, where the list of registered activities for the semester is displayed. Occasionally, 8=1 activities may also be found in the Faculty’s activity calendar. These events are held Monday through Saturday, at various times and locations across the Tijuana Campus.

ETHICAL GUIDELINES RELATED TO THE PROGRAM

All participants in the program must comply with the Code of Ethics upheld by the University.

Requesting “virtual stamps” for attending two or more activities held at overlapping times is considered a practice contrary to the University’s ethical values.

In the event that a student engages in unethical conduct, such as the one described above, they will be subject to the following sanctions:

  1. If it is the first offense, all virtual stamps accumulated up to the time the unethical conduct is detected will be invalidated. However, the student will be allowed to continue participating and accumulating stamps in subsequent 8=1 program activities, and may still earn one credit for every eight registered activities completed after the infraction was identified.
  2. If the student commits the same offense a second time, all accumulated stamps will be invalidated, and the student will no longer be allowed to participate in the 8=1 program during the academic term in which the violation occurred. The student will not be granted optional credits from the 8=1 program for that semester; however, they may participate again normally in the program during the following semester.
  3. If the student commits the same offense a third time, they will permanently lose the opportunity to participate in the 8=1 program for the remainder of their academic studies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Institutional Program of Complementary Activities for Integral Training website displays the list of activities registered for the semester.

In addition to the 8=1 program, students may also participate in Optional Activities listed in their academic load. The specific regulations for these activities will be determined by each Faculty, in accordance with its internal operating rules.

On the website of the General Coordination of Professional Training, students can consult the General Framework of Optional Integral Training Activities, which refers to student participation in conferences, sports events, or university teams.

The student may consult the administrative procedures required to register the credits earned through Optional Integral Training Activities in the document titled “Operational Mechanisms of Optional Integral Training Activities with Credit Value, Developed During the Academic Pathway.” This document was prepared by the Coordinations of Basic Training, Professional Training, and University Outreach, and the information is generally available on the Vice-Rectory’s website.

For specific questions regarding the operation of the program, students should contact the Integral Training Coordinator of their Academic Unit.
