    language in relation to the course teaching objectives, that you can check at

    our web page (Student’s Intranet).

    or group project or assignment that shows further learning to what was

    achieved in class.

    6. You can make the corresponding payment through any of the BCP channels,

    using this registration number.

    Recommendations:

    Online registration saves you S/. 5.00 (five nuevos soles) charged when youpersonally register at ICPNA branches. This process will reserve you a place

    during the registration date; if you do not make the payment on such date, you

    would need to re-do the process.

    can only receive a discount on the book if you have repeated the course—which

    means you already have the material—or if a direct relative (sister or brother) has

    taken the same course previously. If the curriculum has changed or if there is a

    new edition, you must purchase the new textbook.

    You can pick up the study material on the same day you make the payment,

     producing your payment receipt in the branch you selected. Skip the lines; do not

    wait until the first day of class.
