2) Students who have been dismissed for cause.

3) Students whose admission was withdrawn due to submission of fake/falsified entrance credentials/ documents.

4) Students found guilty of dishonesty or any form of misconduct.

Transferees From Other UP Constituent Universities

Students from another UP Constituent University who have completed at least 30 collegiate academic units may be admitted as transfer students subject to the rules of the admitting college. Subjects previously cross enrolled in UP Diliman, if any, will not be considered for the purpose of meeting the 30-unit requirement.

Admission Requirements

Students with previous college work from another university who want to transfer to UP Diliman shall satisfy all admission requirements of the University and that of the accepting unit/college. Applicants for transfer shall be considered for admission to the University only during the first semester of each academic year. Applicants shall:

a. Have completed, outside the University, at least 33 academic units equivalent to UP courses.

b. Meet the General Weighted Average (GWA) requirement of the program applied for. Depending on the degree program the GWA requirement can be at least 1.5 or 1.75 or 2.0 for all the collegiate academic units taken outside of UP. University rules prescribe a minimum GWA of 2.0 for transfer admission into any degree program in the University.

c. Satisfy other admission requirements prescribed for each degree program such as interview, aptitude test, and talent test or written or oral examination.

d. Fall within the quota of the program at the time of application upon evaluation based on the program admission requirements. All 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.

Transferees shall complete in the University not less than 50% of the units required to graduate in their new programs. Furthermore, all upper division courses required in the program shall be taken in the

University. Any or all of the above may be set-aside in exceptional cases upon the recommendation of the unit’s Committee on Admission or by the dean or director concerned, upon approval of the Chancellor. The admitting unit/college sends to the Office of the University Registrar the list of applicants qualified for admission. The OUR shall issue the admission slips to the qualified applicants.
