For over 80 years UNAM-San Antonio considers its Spanish Language instruction as one of its most important assets of academic excellence.
Learning Spanish as a second language is considered one of the core virtues of the Spanish Department, as are our Spanish teachers. Therefore, out of respect for our teachers and students committed to learning a new language, UNAM-San Antonio has the following policies regarding, class and/or teacher changes, course/class cancellation, withdrawal, and refunds.
UNAM-San Antonio reserves the right to change any class and/or teacher. Classes and teachers are subject to change as deemed necessary by the institution. The school also reserves the right to close, cancel, modify, or divide courses.
UNAM-San Antonio reserves the right of admission, ensuring that all applicants meet the necessary criteria for learning SPANISH as a second language for both academic and professional purposes.
Once payment is made, the student is subject to all policies, terms, and conditions of UNAM-San Antonio Spanish Department.
COURSE, CLASS, OR LEVEL CHANGES: Students wishing to add or change a course, class, or level must submit a written petition and obtain authorization from the Spanish Department no later than three (3) business days after the course begins. The decision to accept or reject a student’s request to change or add a course rest solely with the Spanish Department and is final.
