Chile opened registration for the PAES Regular 2026, Admission 2027 process. The Ministry of Education confirmed that, from this year, there will be no extra registration period after the ordinary deadline.
What Changed?
Applicants must register between 1 June and 22 July 2026 at demre.cl or acceso.mineduc.cl to take the PAES Regular on 30 November, 1 December, and 2 December 2026. The process now removes the extra registration window that had previously allowed late registration in some admission cycles.
Old System vs New System
Previous PAES admission cycles could include an additional registration stage after the main registration period, giving late applicants another chance to register.
For the 2026 PAES Regular linked to Admission 2027, registration closes on 22 July 2026 at 13:00, and no extra registration period will be available.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students who miss the July deadline will not have a later PAES Regular registration window for this admission cycle.
Parent / Family Impact
Families need to monitor the registration deadline earlier and help students confirm their PAES test selection before the portal closes.
School / Institution Impact
Schools must inform 4th-year secondary students about the registration deadline, PAES test choices, the identification card requirement, and the absence of an extra period.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers and guidance staff may need to remind students earlier about PAES registration and M2 requirements for some degree programs.
