neutral  Jairo Payan: Tengo mis dudas. En Colombia una nivelación es un periodo extra curricular, en el cual un alumno que ha perdido una materia se pone al día. Es como un supletorio. Sinembargo no soy la última palabra al respecto

R/ Dependiendo de la formación del aspirante, para el ingreso a determinados Programas se pueden exigir conocimientos en ciertos cursos; el programa ofrece estos cursos en un semestre de nivelación; es el director de cada Programa quien con el análisis de la historia académica del aspirante, decide cuáles de los cursos de nivelación debe tomar; en cualquier caso, el estudiante puede tomar un examen de suficiencia si no desea tomar los cursos. Consulte el Plan de Estudios del programa de su interés para conocer los cursos de Nivelación usualmente exigidos.
