The institution kindly reminded candidates to meet the new deadline by submitting all necessary materials.
The University of the Philippines (UP) has extended the application deadline for admission the following year to October 22.
Initially, senior high school students had until October 15 to submit the requirements to the UP College Admission (UPCA) online application portal if they were planning to graduate before the start of the academic year 2023-2024.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UP officials earlier decided to postpone the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) for a third year in a row.
Instead, it will once more use the UPCA system to order applicants according to their final Grades 8 through 11 grades.
The UPCAT must have been taken in 2019 or earlier, and applicants must not have applied to and successfully completed the UPCA in 2020 or 2021. They also must not have taken any college courses.
All UPCA forms must be submitted online (except for certain regional areas). According to the institution, applicants must electronically complete Forms 1 (Personal Data Sheet) and 2B (High School Record), as well as upload their photo and electronic signature.
It continued, “High schools shall be requested to log on to the School Profile link to complete Form 2A to inform and/or update the university on the most recent school information pertinent to the application, and submit to UP a certified copy of the applicant’s Student Permanent Record… signed by the authorized school representative and enclosed in a sealed envelope with a wet signature of such representative on the flap.
For the academic year 2024–2025, UP declared that it would administer the UPCAT once more the following year for freshmen admission.
On June 3 and 4, 2023, there will be a pen-and-paper test at roughly 100 testing locations across the country.
For current grade 11 pupils who are anticipated to graduate from senior high school the following year, applications for admission to 2024 will commence in March 2023.
In light of the anticipated significant increase in applications, the institution stated that the early application opening and hosting of the UPCAT next year will ensure the prompt dissemination of results.
UP to hold UPCAT for first-year student intake in AY 2024-2025
The University of the Philippines (UP) will hold the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) in 2023 for first-year admission in Academic Year 2024-2025. This will be the first time the UPCAT will be held since 2020.
This was decided during a meeting on September 14, 2022, of UP’s President’s Advisory Council (PAC), which includes the President and the Vice Presidents of the UP System, the Secretary of the University and the Board of Regents, the Chancellors of UP’s eight constituent universities, the Director of the UP Philippine General Hospital, and the Executive Director of the UP Bonifacio Global City Campus.
UPCAT 2024 will be held face-to-face on June 3 and 4, 2023, in almost a hundred testing centers nationwide. Those qualified to apply are current grade 11 students who are expected to graduate from senior high school at the end of AY 2023-2024. Successful applicants will be admitted in the First Semester of AY 2024-2025.
The application for UPCAT 2024 will open in March 2023. The early opening of applications for UPCAT 2024 and the holding of the UPCAT in June will ensure the timely release of results in light of the anticipated large increase in applications.
The University Councils (UCs), comprised of the Chancellor, professors, associate professors, and assistant professors of each UP constituent university, will meet to refine the details of the administration of UPCAT 2024.
In the meantime, the application period for the UP College Admission (UPCA) for AY 2023-2024 is ongoing.
