MANILA, Philippines — The University of the Philippines (UP) has officially opened its freshman application process for the school year 2022-2013, but has yet to announce whether it would reinstate its pen-and-paper college admissions test.
“Due to the dynamic developments in the public health situation in the light of COVID-19, there is no final decision yet as to whether an admission test will be administered,” UP said in a statement.
“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 university predicted grade,” it added.
Applicants will have to submit their personal data sheet and application forms through the university’s online admissions portal, which will automatically forward a request to their high school principals to fill out their high school profile (Form 2A).
They can check upcollegeadmissions.up.edu.ph for announcements and updates regarding their applications for admission.
