Admission into the University is highly
competitive. In the undergraduate level, applicants compete through the UP
College Admission Test (UPCAT) and/or talent test/audition. In the graduate
level, aside from a Bachelor’s degree from a recognized institution of higher
learning, an applicant must show proof of intellectual capacity to tackle the
demands of graduate work.
A student who has earned the required number
of units in another university may apply for transfer into UP. In such cases,
the applicants have to satisfy the transfer admission requirements of the University
as well as those of the college/degree program to which the student seeks to
transfer. No student shall be denied admission to the University by reason of
age, sex, nationality, religious belief, or political affiliation.
(The UP College Admission Test “UPCAT” is generally held on the
first Saturday and Sunday of August every year, where 4th year high
school students or high school graduates who have not entered any college or
university may take the examination).
Every applicant for admission shall undergo a
thorough health examination. No person shall be admitted to this University who
is found by the University Health Service to be suffering from a dangerous, communicable,
contagious, or infectious disease or who is physically unfit to take courses in
any college of the University.
Every student shall, upon admission, sign the
following pledge:
“In consideration of my admission to the University of the
Philippines and of the privileges of a student in this institution, I hereby
promise and pledge to abide by and comply with all the rules and regulations
laid down by competent authority in the University and in the college in which
I am enrolled.”
Refusal to take this pledge or violation of
its terms shall be sufficient cause for summary dismissal or denial of
admission.
