The design was descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional; with a sample size of 325 university students made up of women and men between 17 and 40 years old; the data collection instrument was a 13-item questionnaire. Among the main results, regarding the technological and social conditions of access to distance education, most of the students are in an intermediate condition and/or in good conditions, and a low percentage do not have adequate minimum conditions. for their optimal academic performance; Likewise, regarding the intention of the students to return soon to semi-attendance, the majority agree or have a neutral response, and a smaller percentage disagree. In conclusion, a high percentage of students have good or intermediate conditions of access to distance education, and do not intend to return to a blended education soon; that is, a setback of the pandemic does not modify the intention of returning to semi-attendance.
