A. ission through the UPCAT You may apply as a freshman to UP through the UPCAT for SY20172018 if you are a secondary school graduate OR you are a senior high school student expecting to graduate in 2017. In addition, you must not have taken the UPCAT and any college courses. Applications for the UPCAT will start in July 2016 and can be partly accomplished online which will enable faster processing of your application and will link you with the free Online UPCAT Reviewer. If you do not have a computer and/or have limited internet access you may go to the Office of Student Affairs, or Office of the Registrar of a UP Campus near you and ask for assistance. The UPCAT consists of 4 subtests: Language Proficiency (English and Filipino), Science, Math and Reading Comprehension (English and Filipino). Standardized UPCAT scores are combined with the weighted average of 3 years of high school final grades to determine the UP ission grade. To implement the policy of demographic access, the selection of campus qualifiers also considers socioeconomic and geographic factors. Qualifying for a Campus In your application, you are asked to choose 2 UP campuses in order of preference. You will also indicate your choice of up to 4 degree programs per campus in order of preference. Your application will be processed according to your campus and program choices in the order you specified. Please note that UP Baguio and UP Visayas (Miagao, Iloilo City, Tacloban) will not be open for 2017 freshman issions.

All UPCAT applicants are ranked based on their UP ission grades, then screened based on their choice of campuses. The top-ranking applicants per campus will qualify based on the campus quota and cut-off grade. If you do not qualify for your first choice, you are automatically screened for your second choice of campus. Qualifying for a Program Campus qualifiers are ranked according to different grade predictors of their chosen degree programs and are accepted based on the program quotas. If you don't make it to your first choice of program, you will be screened again for your second choice using the same process, and so on until the last choice you have indicated. If you still do not make it to your last indicated course choice, you will remain qualified for that campus but must then find a degree program with available slots (DPWS) in that campus. The campus Registrar's Office will help you find that program. Appeals If you do not qualify to any of your campus choices, you may appeal to other campuses of the UP System if your ission grade is within their posted cutoff grade, and they have programs with available slots. Present your Non-Qualifier's Slip indicating your ission grade (sent to you in the mail) to the Registrar's Office of the campus you want to enter. There is no guarantee of acceptance as each campus may have additional criteria for ission through appeals. Transfer issions If no UP campus can accommodate you for 2017, you can apply for transfer to a UP campus after earning 33 academic units in another school with a weighted average of 2.00 or better on the UP marking system. As with freshman issions, each campus may have additional rules on transfer. Information regarding transfer to UP may be obtained from the Office of the University Registrar of the respective UP campuses.
