INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
The program begins on the first day of classes of the semester and ends three weeks before the last day of class.
Requests for activity registration submitted after that date will not be processed.
For the 2025-2 semester, the deadline for activity registration is November 5, 2025.
- Registration requests for events held after that date will not be processed.
- All activities to be registered must have taken place before November 5 and within the current 2025-2 semester.
- The system does not allow activities from a previous semester to be accumulated with the current one.
Students must complete the eight required activities before the end of the semester, as these are not cumulative. This means credits can only be earned for activities attended and registered during the same semester.
Activities from previous semesters cannot be carried over to the next one.
HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
To earn the corresponding credit, students must register and validate their activities on the Integral Training Platform of their Faculty.
To participate in the program, students must:
- Be an active student enrolled in an academic program of the University.
- Attend the events and ensure that their participation is registered in the attendance list provided by the event organizer. It is the student’s responsibility to verify that the event is part of the 8=1 program and not an unrelated activity.
- Register their activities on the platform within 15 days after completing each one.
- Submit the 8=1 activity registration form sent by the Faculty’s Office during the semester closing period and check their email regularly for updates.
HOW DO I REGISTER MY ACTIVITIES?
To obtain credit, students must request it at the end of the semester through their Faculty Office.
The process is not automatic — if the student does not make the request, the credit will not be awarded automatically.
Registration Using QR Codes
- The student attends an eligible activity that is part of the 8=1 program.
- The student receives the event code or participation record.
- The student accesses the Institutional Program for Complementary Activities of Integral Training platform within 15 days and registers their participation using the event’s QR code (after this 15-day period, registration will no longer be possible).
If the event was not pre-registered on the platform, the student must present the participation record at the Faculty Office at the end of the semester.
- If the event was registered on the platform, the student simply enters the event code received.
- Once the student accumulates eight registered activities, they may request that the credit be recorded in their academic transcript (Kardex), according to the dates established by their Faculty.
QR codes are used to minimize data entry errors; therefore, it is recommended that students access the institutional platform directly and register their participation by entering the event code.
HOW DOES THE CREDIT APPEAR ON MY ACADEMIC RECORD (KARDEX)?
The grade corresponding to the 8 = 1 activities will appear in the student’s academic record with the label “Accredited”
There is no numerical grade associated with the credits; they are recorded ad Accredited or Not Accredited.
Students may earn up to 6 credits in the Basic Stage through this modality.
Students may earn up to 4 credits in the Disciplinary and Terminal Stages through this modality.
In the academic record, the subject codes associated with this program are:
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities I
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities II
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities III
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities IV
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities V
- Complementary Integral Formation Activities VI
ABOUT THE EVENT CALENDAR
Each month, a schedule of cultural, artistic, athletic, and health-related events is published, incorporating proposals from the School of Sports, Faculty of Arts, and other academic units.
Students can consult the Institutional Program for Complementary Activities of Integral Training webpage, where the semester’s official activity calendar is available.
Events are held Monday through Saturday in various venues and spaces across the Tijuana Campus.
ETHICAL GUIDELINES OF THE POGRAM
All participants must comply with the University’s Code of Ethics.
It is considered unethical to request multiple “virtual seals” for attendance at two or more activities held at overlapping times.
Students engaging in such conduct will be subject to the following sanctions:
- First offense: All accumulated virtual seals will be annulled. The student may continue participating in the program and begin earning seals again in subsequent events.
- Second offense: All accumulated seals will be permanently canceled. The student will be ineligible to participate in the 8=1 program during that academic year, though they may rejoin in the following semester under normal conditions.
- Third offense: The student will lose the right to participate in the 8=1 program for the remainder of their degree program.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The semester’s activity calendar is available on the Institutional Program for Complementary Activities of Integral Training webpage.
In addition to the 8=1 program, students may also participate in Elective Activities included in their academic load. Regulations for these are determined by each Faculty according to its internal policies.
Students may also consult the General Scheme of Elective Activities of Integral Training, which includes participation in university congresses, athletic events, and team activities.
Further details regarding the Operational Mechanisms for Integral Training Elective Activities with Academic Credit can be found in the document developed by the Coordinating Offices of Basic and Professional Formation. This document outlines the administrative processes required to register credits obtained through these elective activities.
For specific questions about the operation of the program, students should contact the Integral Training Coordinator of their Academic Unit.
