Academic Excellence System
SEA
It is the set of strategies and activities developed by different academic units and led by the Academic Vice Rector’s Office, where the student is the protagonist. It has an integral conception because it addresses different dimensions and recognizes that academic performance is influenced by a multiplicity of variables, which implies developing strategies of a multidimensional nature in three moments: before enrollment at the University, at the entrance to higher education and during the academic trajectory.
