Overview
- The seven universities slated to cease operations in 2025 are Universidad Alas Peruanas (March), José Carlos Mariátegui (April), Peruana de Ciencias e Informática (April), Católica Los Ángeles de Chimbote (July), Científica del Perú (August), Privada San Carlos (August) and Andina Néstor Cáceres Velásquez (December).
- Sunedu’s denials cite recurring shortcomings in infrastructure, research, full‑time faculty, student services, and safety, with some sites lacking habilitation or operating with incomplete laboratories and unfinished works.
- Formal resolutions set fixed cessation dates, with UANCV closing last on December 31, 2025, and require compliance with the Law Universitaria’s quality conditions.
- Universities must execute supervised closure plans that include enabling students to finish regular studies, issuing degrees and titles, facilitating transfers to licensed institutions, providing documentation, and maintaining clear communication.
- Press reports note related denials with separate deadlines extending into early 2026 for other institutions, reflecting phased closures beyond the seven confirmed for 2025.
