A circular is a formal document that a certain authority uses to send a notification or information. It is generally urgent and seeks to reach the entire target population.
A circular is issued for a specific group or sector so that the news or information reaches the entire sector in the shortest possible time.
A circular can be issued, for example, by the administration of a building. For instance:
The neighbors are informed that, based on the events that took place last Tuesday, May 14, 2001, after 9:00 p.m. it is strictly forbidden to leave the central door without a key.

Types of circular
- Voluntary circular. Communicate about a commercial product, service, people or companies (generally reports on more informal topics).
- Mandatory circular. It is often used in the commercial field and is used to inform about changes of address, proxies, opening of a new branch, etc.
Structure of a circular
Although it is not a strict document, it always has distinctive characteristics that can help to identify a circular:
- Header. It is generally titled as Attention! or Circular. In a voluntary circular, the header may or may not be present. In a mandatory circular, the header includes a letterhead, stamp, date, and place.
- Body. The message usually uses a formal but not technical language and is always oriented towards a certain sector, group or certain population (that is why it is important to take into account the language used by that population, to prepare a circular with the appropriate vocabulary).
- Firm. The signature helps the recipient recognize who has issued the circular.

About the support program for native peoples
The university, through the association to combat the marginalization of indigenous peoples, launches a university insertion plan for members of these indigenous peoples who have already completed their secondary level studies, so that they can begin their undergraduate studies.
Said insertion also has internships that members will be able to carry out in the same way as current students who are studying the different academic offers of this institution.
Likewise, economic aid is established for each of the members of the native peoples as well as the possibility of accessing tutors.
This initiative aims to promote insertion and equal opportunities for this population.
It will be put into practice from the next school year (year 2017-2018).
Sincerely,
Rector Sarah Steinowicz.
