Indecopi Confirms S/40,446 Fine Against Universidad Peruana Los Andes for Service Failures

The regional colegiado concluded the university withheld required class access links, resulting in misleading grades that harmed a medical student's record.

Overview

  • The Junín regional office affirmed a total sanction of 7.56 UIT, equivalent to S/40,446, in a second-instance decision.
  • The ruling applies two penalties of 3.78 UIT each for denying access to the Investigación Científica course and for recording minimum grades that did not reflect actual performance.
  • Corrective orders require allowing the student to retake Investigación Científica, recalculating 2024-I grades, and submitting a detailed report on the impact on the final average.
  • Media reports note that grade irregularities included courses such as Cardiología and Neumología, indicating issues beyond a single class.
  • The decision, issued under Article 73 of the Consumer Protection Code, is published as Final Resolution No. 573-2025/INDECOPI-JUN and ratifies the first-instance ruling.
