Problems with Admission - What to do if you score below the UPG?
Last Updated 2 years ago
If you don't qualify for admission to either campus of your choice, you will be so informed. Your notice will also indicate your UPG. You may then want to try to be admitted to any of the other seven UP campuses. To do this, you need to find out if: (a) your UPG meets the cut-off UPG of that campus, and (b) the campus still has available slots. The information you need is available from the Campus Registrars' offices.
If both conditions are met, you should then present your UPG to the Office of the Registrar of the campus to which you want to be admitted. There is no guarantee of admission, however, as each campus makes its own decision.
If no other campus can accommodate you, you have no choice but to enroll in another college or university. Subject to certain requirements, you may later apply to transfer to a UP campus. Bear in
mind that each campus has its own requirements/rules on transfer students and has limited slots for them.
Results of the UPCAT will be announced in the newspapers and the UP website and will also be
posted in designated areas in all UP campuses sometime in February.
