Adjustment of Deadlines in Connection with the 2025 Midterm Election: Deadline of Completion of Requirements - 16 May 2025
Remember, the AA program follows a trimestral schedule.
To ensure that you are always aware of important dates you must take note of as an AA student, make it a habit to regularly visit the official site of the OUR, where the UPOU Academic Calendar is posted. This is important because the UPOU Academic Calendar is subject to change depending on the decisions of the UP Board of Regents (BOR).
Some general reminders about the UPOU Academic Calendar for students:
All undergraduate programs (yes, this means AA), operate under the trimestral system. That said, do note that each trimester has its specific set of dates, as indicated in the UPOU Academic Calendar.
The deadline for submission of application for undergraduate programs means that all application requirements and documents should have already been sent in by this time (applicable for applicants to the AA program).
