2. The Notice of Qualification of Application (NQA) mentioned that the Office of the University Registrar needs a Study Plan. What is a plan of study and how can I retrieve this?
A Study Plan is the outline of courses (or subjects) and the corresponding units of study for the Master in Public Affairs program. You may request the Office of the College Secretary for a copy of the Study Plan.
The checklist will guide you and your program adviser in tracking your courses and grades later on.
3. I am not based in Metro Cebu and may have difficulties in visiting the Health Services Unit (HSU) of UP Cebu to secure a medical certificate. Can I, instead, submit a recent medical certificate/medical report/health clearance that certifies my fitness to undergo graduate studies?
Yes, please email a copy of your recent medical certificate/medical report/health clearance to the Health Services Unit (HSU) of UP Cebu.

4. How much will I pay for tuition fees for courses in the Master in Public Affairs program?
The tuition for the Master in Public Affairs program is at Php 1,800 per unit.
5. Will Master in Public Affairs courses be taught online or face-to-face?
MPAf courses will be taught under a HyFlex (hybrid flexible) learning delivery mode . This involves simultaneous face-to-face instruction and online synchronous instruction for students who are unable to attend class in person.
While MPAf classes will mostly be online, in the event that there would be face-to-face sessions, an online synchronous session (through Zoom Video Conferencing, for example) will simultaneously be available for those who are unable to attend the class in person.
You are encouraged to notify your instructors during your first session or via email about any arising concerns or difficulties regarding your attendance in face-to-face or online classes.
