Who are qualified to apply?
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.
How to apply?
Aspiring applicants need to apply to the UP Portal online. The Online Portal Form 1 (Applicants’ Personal Data) will be accessible again by March.
Students need to encode their grades for Grades 8, 9, 10, and 11 in the UPCAT Online Portal. Though applicants may still be in Grade 11 when they apply, exam takers will encode their grades online only in September 2023 when Grade 11 grades are final and complete.
The University of the Philippines will also request hard copies of the Official Grades of applicants from their school for verification purposes in September 2023.
