THE UNIVERSITY of the Philippines said on Wednesday that it is in the final stage of assessing applications after the evaluation of more than 100,000 High School records.

“As stated in the General Information Bulletin, the University Councils of the University of the Philippines System approved an additional assessment by academic units to qualify for admission in some degree programs, if deemed necessary,” the school’s Office of Administration said.

The UP-OA noted that shortlisted applicants in degree programs requiring additional assessment will be notified by the concerned academic unit for the additional requirements.

It added that they will contact applicants by phone or email regarding the additional screening if needed in their application.

“Note that not all applicants will be contacted, only those in the shortlist of specific degree programs. If you do not receive a notification, please wait for May 31, 2022 to know the final result of your application,” it said.

For two consecutive years, UP suspended the admission exam because of the Covid19 pandemic. Students are assessed based on their high school performance.

“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,” the school said.
