UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Due to the dynamic developments in the public health situation in the light of COVID-19, the University Councils of the eight constituent universities of the UP System decided to forego the nationwide admission test for intake year 2023-2024. In the absence of a college admission test, a composite of the final grades in Grades 8, 9, 10, and 11 shall be the basis to determine the UPG. Specific degree program may request for additional requirements to quality for admission if deemed necessary. To implement the policy of democratic access, UP also considers socioeconomic and geographic factors in its admission process.
