UNAH institutional development and student services

The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) has undertaken several initiatives to expand infrastructure, financial support, and administrative efficiency.

In late September 2026, the Honduran National Congress approved 70 million lempiras in the 2027 budget for the construction of new classrooms in Yoro to increase higher education access. During this period, the university also confirmed it would continue providing free student transportation services despite regulatory pressure from the Instituto Hondureño del Transporte Terrestre and opposition from transport sector leaders.

By mid-October 2026, UNAH expanded its financial services through a cooperation agreement with the National Agricultural Development Bank (BANADESA). This partnership provides postgraduate students with loans between 100,000 and 200,000 lempiras, alongside credit options for faculty and staff. Additionally, the university launched a digital platform to modernize graduation processes, integrating professional practice registration and graduation applications into a single electronic portal to reduce in-person administrative requirements.
