The Federal University of Acre (Ufac) has announced the annulment of the first call and waiting list for its bachelor's degree programs for 2026, following the discovery of inconsistencies in candidate data. Some applicants reported that their scores were not computed, which prevented them from being included in either the calling list or the waiting list. A court decision was also a factor in this annulment, as it was obtained by a participant who had registered at the wrong campus.

In a statement released on Monday, Ednaceli Damasceno, Ufac’s Dean of Undergraduate Studies, indicated that a new schedule for the calls would be issued the same day. The original timeline, which had detailed the calls for applicants, was initially released the previous Monday, and it is now rendered void due to the aforementioned issues.

This situation highlights the importance of accurate data management in university admissions processes and raises questions about how such errors could impact applicants' opportunities. The prompt response from Ufac to rectify the situation may help restore trust among prospective students, but it also underscores the challenges faced by educational institutions in managing large-scale admissions effectively.
