INFORMATION FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT QUALIFY THROUGH THE UPCAT

If you did not make it to either of your campus choices, you have two options:

FIRST: You can try other UP campuses IF:
1. Your UPG is within their cut-off; and,
2. The campuses still have available slots.
Present your Non-Qualifier's Slip (which will be sent to you through mailby the UP System Office of Admissions and which indicates your UPG) to the Office of the Registrar of the campus you wish to enter. There is NO guarantee of acceptance as each campus makes its own decisions according to its own criteria.

SECOND: If no UP campus can accommodate you, you may enroll in a college or university other than UP. After earning at least 33 academic units with a weighted average of 2.00 or better in the UP marking system, you may apply for transfer into a UP campus.

GUIDELINES FOR TRANSFER FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

Students with previous college work from another University or College who want to transfer to the University of the Philippines must satisfy all admission requirements of the accepting unit/college. Each campus has its own specific rules regarding transfer and accepts only a limited number of transfer students. Information on transfer to a specific UP unit may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar of the specific UP campuses.

In general, you may be evaluated for admission as a transfer applicant provided that you: (1) present all academic units earned outside UP for evaluation; (2) have completed, outside the University, at least 33 academic units equivalent to UP courses; (3) University rules prescribe a minimum GWA of 2.0, 86%, or B for transfer admission into any program in the University. In addition,the general weighted average (GWA) of the program applied for must be met; Depending on the campus and degree program, the GWA requirement can be as high as 1.5, in all the collegiate academic units taken outside UP (excluding vocational courses); (4) satisfy other admission requirements of the admitting college/unit prescribed for each degree program such as an interview, a talent test or a written or oral examination; and, (5) fall within the quota of the program at the time of application. Applicants shall be ranked according to the criteria set by the admitting program and the cut-off shall be determined by the college/unit based on their quota.

IMPORTANT: You will have to complete in the University at least 50% of the units required in the program. ALL upper division courses should be taken in the University. To graduate with honors, you have to complete 75% of the required number of units and must be in residence for at least 2 years prior to graduation.
