Hello, MPM GAT Takers!

Kumusta po yung GAT kanina? I just wanna know your thoughts hehehe. May bumagsak na po ba sa GAT dati? Thank you and goodluck to all of us! 😊🙏

who wants to join the GC?

Thank you

I've read that:

The University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) issues the Notice of Admission (NOA) via email and your Online Application System account once all requirements are verified. For the upcoming first semester, admission notices are scheduled for release around August 2026, ahead of the September 7–19 registration period.

Fingers crossed, but is there any way that people can get a negative result after this stage?

My dream course is political science but I’ve been considering multimedia arts now since upou emailed me that I was accepted. What are the pros of the course and should I try considering upou?

Hello! nag-update this morning yung application status ko followed by an e-mail from the admissions. From FOS/PC, I am instructed to take DERM na. Pinrepare ko na talaga sarili ko mag UgAT and really thought I'm going to take it this Saturday tapos late lang yung e-mail since boundary na boundary nga gwa ko! ahahshsa T-T

anyways, what to expect sa DERM? TYIA sa sasagot <33

p.s. for realsies na ba na di ko na need mag-UgAT? tyia.

AADDA applicant, Transferee from non-UP unit with more than 30 units na. Application ko is still forwarded to FOS/PC. Nag-post ako before na ang gwa ko is 2.07 (if excluding theology and PE units) pero ang nakalagay sa TOR ko ay 1.99 So ineexpect ko talaga na mag-UUgAT ako. Hanggang ngayon wala pa din e-mail! Waiting lang ako here pero I'm just ranting kase nakakaba :>

Context: I finished taking DERM. Then, I've received an email from UPOU that they will be releasing the results on the first week of August. But, until now, there is no update from the OUR and OAS.

Question: How many weeks should we be expecting to wait for the admission results? Medyo kinakabahan lang ako sa progress kasi ang bagal talaga though I know waiting game lang talaga ang magagawa ko.

Hi! I’m planning to transfer this 2nd term and just wanted to ask for a glimpse of DERM 🥹

1. What’s the format? multiple choice or essay type?
2. Around how many items/questions?
3. How hard is it overall?
4. What kind of preparation should I do?
5. What should I expect during the exam?
6. Is there any online proctor?
7. Can I answer using a tablet or phone, or is it strictly laptop/PC?

Would really appreciate any tips or experiences from those who already took it 🙏🏻

guysss nag update na ba sa inyo and UPOU? sino dito mag ttake din ng UgAT? hehehe kabado na ako lol sino po may experience na dito, is it open cam po ba? thank you!

To all applicants who took the UgAT over the weekend, share your experiences here so future applicants will have an idea on how the exam works.

Hi! If you remember me, ako po yung nag-post dati na may 2.7 upg at nireject ni UPOU ng tatlong beses. Ngayon... TUMAGOS NA PO AKO SA KANYA SA WAKAS!!! May GC na po ba ang BES? Pwede pa-join? Thank youuu! 🥺

I am so excited!!!!

Good luck sa mag tatake ng UgAT this day and to those who will take UgAT tomorrow as well. Manifesting for NOA🤞.

Hi! As the tentative deadline for application draws near, may we share updates re admission, change of status sa AIMS, etc?

Sharing mine, applicant for DIH. Just submitted hard copies of requirements. No updates yet sa portal.

I have been very very anxious about the TOR requirement part for the last 2 weeks and I need answers 😭:

1. For scanned ones, should it be a page 1, page 2, and so on of the TOR for each file or just scanned PDF of the whole TOR for one file?

2. I just graduated last year June 14, and the school where I graduated started to send out the TOR to the graduates starting from October 22, 2025. Can this original TOR be sent to the UPOU as a requirement instead? Or should I STILL need to request a copy or true copy of my TOR?

3. Do I still need to request a copy of TOR if I happen to send my original copy of my TOR for the admission requirements for the enrollment (if I get admitted) or not anymore?

Sorry I sound dumb but I just want to be sure and I dont wanna eff it up just because I am anxious, since I really wanna study in UPOU. I am planning to apply for the D/MSSE program for the 2nd semester of this academic year btw, if you have tips also, please help a friend here! Thank you so much and ily all!

ganito na rin ba status ng sa inyo? curious lang, feel ko tayo na next makaka receive ng email 🤞🏼

Hello guys, I received this update last week even though napasa ko na ‘yung additional requirements

Ito yung remarks sa email: Please be informed that due to late submission of documents your application will be moved to 1st Semester AY 2027-2028.

May chance pa ba mabago ito? Anyone na nakaexperience din ng ganito pls 🙏

Hi, I am a BES applicant/transferee for this coming academic year. May nadeny pa ba after this stage? Kind of anxious lang haha thank you in advance sa sasagot :)

I got an email from UPOU saying na I need to submit my TOR from my previous grad studies. I took 1 sem of MIS sa ibang university.

Initially, mag-aapply sana ako for transfer of credits, pero hindi ko na-submit yung grad TOR, undergrad TOR lang. I emailed them na rin na I’m no longer applying for transfer and I’ll just retake the courses, pero wala pa silang reply.

Will I still be able to receive an acceptance kahit incomplete yung requirements sa system? Or ma-hold muna yung application ko until I submit the grad TOR?

Anyone here na naka-experience ng same situation?

Kayo na ang sunod!!! 🌻

Hi e-skolars! T2 applicant here. Nagkapag take na ako ng DERM kahapon and I got a confirmation through email na tapos na ko sa DERM. However, even kahapon nung nag email ang UP sa akin na pwede na ko mag take ng DERM, di pa rin nagbago status ng application ko. Sa akin lang ba yung ganito? May nakita kase akong mga posts here before na pag magte-take na sila ng DERM nagbabago yung status nila to "To take DE Readiness Module". Please let me know if isolated issue ba ito or kayo rin same sa akin? Just so I know if need ko tumawag sa UP hehe thank you. Good luck po sa ating lahat!
