The Guanajuato Ministry of Education has opened the registration period for students entering high school for the 2027–2028 academic year, requiring applicants to obtain their SUREMS folio through the state platform between November 9 and December 11, 2026.
Applicants Complete Registration Between November 2026 and July 2027
- Registration Window: Applicants must complete the initial portal entry and secure their SUREMS folio between November 9, 2026, and December 11, 2026.
- Cost Structure: The process remains free of voucher fees across state subsystems to reduce financial pressure on families.
- Execution Timeline: The five-stage process spans multiple months, concluding with final school registration ending on July 4, 2027.
SUREMS Platform Architecture and Student Onboarding
The registration portal requires current third-year middle school students and graduates to input personal data and generate their unique tracking numbers. According to Fábrica de Periodismo, candidates must provide their CURP, an active email address, school details, and contact information.
To assist candidates with institutional selection, the platform incorporates an optional 12-question vocational guidance survey. This assessment evaluates affinities across eight distinct knowledge domains without restricting the applicant’s final choice of institution.
Five-Stage Enrollment Schedule
The administrative roadmap extends well beyond the initial December deadline.
Following the initial registration closing on December 11, 2026, the second phase runs from February 5 to February 26, 2027, allowing prospective students to tour physical campuses and review educational offerings.

Private Institutions Follow Distinct Registration Protocols
The state framework also captures data for students planning to enter private institutions, ensuring comprehensive tracking across the educational pipeline. However, specialized entities maintain distinct operational pathways.
Instituciones like the Instituto Politécnico Nacional and the Colegio del Nivel Medio Superior de la Universidad de Guanajuato enforce internal administrative mechanisms alongside the state registry. Families requiring direct assistance can access the state support line at 800 388 8767.
