Admissions

The admission process for prospective students happens through an entrance exam called vestibular or through the Serial Selective Process (Portuguese: Processo Seletivo Seriado, PSS), a process composed of three tests, each of them applied in one of the three years that constitute the Brazilian High School system. The vestibular can be taken by anyone that wishes to study at the university, but the PSS can only be taken by high school students.

According to studies,[2] every real invested in the higher education institutions is multiplied by four when returned to local economies. Thus, UEPG has an annual impact of 500 million reais[3] (about U$120 mi) on the regional economy.
