Important

The article from El Sol de Tlaxcala mentions the free online courses, but the newspaper’s page is currently restricted, so I cannot verify every specific course listed in that particular article.

However, the UNAM’s own official information confirms that the free DCIDE courses exist and are available to the general public.
