Legal notice concerning universidad azteca grado propios

Poder ejecutivo secretaria de educacion publica

Artículo 42.-

Los particulares que impartan estudios del tipo superior sin rvoe deberán mencionarlo en la totalidad de la documentación que expidan y en la publicidad que hagan por cualquier medio impreso o electrónico, par a cuyo efecto deberán utilizar, en forma textual, la leyenda siguiente: “estudios sin reconocimiento de validez oficial”

Los estudios realizados en dichas instituciones no son reconocidos por la autoridad educativa federal, por lo que bajo ninguna circunstancia podrán ser objeto de validez oficial.

Grado propio programmes

Título propio or Grado propio or University-own degree programmes are a common academic and professional offer of numerous universities worldwide and are based on the respective applicable study laws. They are regulated in Austria as “Universitätslehrgänge”, “Fachhochschullehrgänge”, “Hochschullehrgänge”, in Italy, Spain (Arto. 34 Ley Organica de Universidades) and France they are known as “own degrees”, to name but a few.
The Mexican Constitution and the General Law of Education (Ley General de Educación) allow a private Institution of Higher Education (IES particular) to offer programmes with RVOE, Reconocimiento de Validez Oficial de Estudios or Official Recognition of the Validity of Studies, which is a programmatic accreditation, and also entitling recognised private universities to offer programmes and award degrees without programmatic accreditation in accordance with Article 59 of the General Law of Education.

The regulatory authority SEP has confirmed to the Rector of Universidad Azteca, that Universidad Azteca is entitled to offer national and international programmes without RVOE and award university own degrees, however, students need to be made fully aware of this circumstance:

En este orden de ideas, se desprende lo siguiente:

Que no existe impedimento legal alguno para que la Universidad Azteca referida, pueda impartir estudios de tipo superior sin reconocimiento de validez oficial, y los Títulos, Diplomas o Grados correspondientes que expida, serán títulos propios sin valor oficial, sin embargo, deberá de hacer del conocimiento tal circunstancia a los usuarios, así como también mencionarlo en su documentación y publicidad que utilice, tal como lo establece el artículo 59 de la Ley General de Educación, que para mejor y pronta referencia a continuación se transcribe:
Artículo 59.- Los particulares que presten servicios por los que se impartan estudios sin reconocimiento de validez oficial, deberán mencionarlo en su correspondiente documentación y publicidad.

De igual forma, me permito comunicarle que no hay impedimento legal alguno por parte de las leyes mexicanas para que la Universidad Azteca que nos ocupa, pueda impartir educación de tipo superior en territorio extranjero, sin embargo su operación deberá ajustarse a las leyes del país donde pretenda impartir estudios, (…) 

Por otra parte, cabe mencionar que de conformidad con lineamiento 21 del citado Acuerdo, para el caso de intercambios académicos, no se requiere de un trámite de revalidación ante esta autoridad, ya que cuando un programa académico que forma parte del sistema educativo nacional, permita que de manera expresa los estudiantes realicen determinadas actividades de aprendizaje, asignaturas o unidades de aprendizaje en un programa académico distinto, bien de una misma institución educativa o de otras ubicadas en territorio nacional o en el extranjero, siempre y cuando esa circunstancia se encuentre definida en el plan y programas de estudio con Reconocimiento de Validez Oficial de Estudios y así mismo se encuentre prevista en la reglamentación interna de la institución educativa que imparte dicho plan y programas de estudio, quien asentará los resultados de la evaluación correspondiente en los certificados de estudios.

LEGAL INFORMATION §27(7) HS-QSG

Mit der Entscheidung über die Meldung der Studien ist keine Feststellung der Gleichwertigkeit mit österreichischen Studien und entsprechenden österreichischen akademischen Graden verbunden. Die Studien und akademischen Grade gelten als solche des Herkunfts- bzw. Sitzstaates der Bildungseinrichtung. Ausländische Bildungseinrichtungen sind verpflichtet, im Rahmen ihrer Marktkommunikation und ihres Außenauftrittes in Österreich auf diesen Umstand in schriftlicher und optisch hervorgehobener Form hinzuweisen.

The new strategic focus of Universidad Azteca is on programmatic accreditation of university own programmes offered internationally:

What is the goal of accreditation?

The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Accrediting agencies, which are private educational associations of regional or national scope, develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency’s evaluation and that meet an agency’s criteria are then “accredited” by that agency.
