Validation for Advanced Credits
Advanced credits for courses taken outside the University may be granted upon passing the prescribed validation
examination.
Admitted undergraduate transfer students must validate all the courses they are offering for advanced credits at the rate
of at least 18 units a semester within a period not exceeding three (3) semesters from the date of their admission. Their admission
will be on a probationary basis until all subjects taken outside UP which are required for their program have been validated or
repeated, in accordance with the rule on validation of courses. Students will not be allowed to enroll in a subject, the prerequisites
of which, taken elsewhere, have not been validated, or repeated, as the case may be.
Student transferring from any recognized institution who possesses an Associate in Arts or its equivalent of sixty-six (66) units
of work may be enrolled without needing to take validation exams. Before a student is allowed to major in any discipline, however,
the unit may prescribe up to 18 additional units of general education subjects and/or preparatory subjects for the major.
Note: Applicants to B Fine Arts and B Music are required to take a talent test. Application to these programs should
be made directly to the colleges concerned.

of courses open for transfer applicants, GWA and specific requirements per programs. PRIMER will be posted at OUR website @
our.upd.edu.ph at Admission and Registration Division, Office of the University Registrar lobby during the application period.
