How to Get to UA&P
148
Welcome!
This is the Undergraduate and Graduate Prospectus of the
University of Asia and the Pacific.
We are pleased to know that you are exploring the possibility
of studying in our University. We invite you to take your time
and go over this prospectus to familiarize yourself with what
UA&P believes, lives, and celebrates. In the following pages,
we have made it our cause to help you bring to consideration
the rare opportunity of spending the next four or five years of
your life in a university that fully develops everything that is
human in the individual.
Our University focuses on developing the whole person,
as well as combines breadth of learning and professional
specialization, in its educational programs. Our students go
through a strong liberal education program in their first two
or three years in the University. Thereafter, they begin to take
subjects in their chosen field of specialization. If they choose
a five-year program and meet all its academic requirements,
they may graduate with a masters degree in five years.
As they take up these various areas of knowledge, the students are trained to look at ideas with a critical eye, an analytical mind, and ethical judgment, and to understand issues
from differing points of view. As the subjects are taught using a multidisciplinary approach, the students learn to make
connections across disciplines and see the big picture while
understanding the complexity of each part. The liberal arts
program also trains students to communicate ideas clearly,
precisely, and persuasively in speech and in writing.
The first three years offerings blend perfectly with the last
two years of professional skills training. The liberal arts add
grace and bearing to professional knowhow. The professional training continues using the multidisciplinary approach,
which requires students to relate their specialization to the
other sciencesa definite advantage in the professional
world.
With our brand of whole-person education amid the working
climate where adaptability is key, our graduates stand firm,
knowing that every facet of their being can be fully utilized to
catch up to the speed of life.
You can be one of these graduates. Blaze a trail with us.
About UA&P
Our name comes from the region that brought forth the dawn of a
new civilization and changed mankind forever. At 46 years, we are
young. Nevertheless, we write down our history with a burning
desire for excellence and integral human development.
Prospectus 2014 - 2016
OUR HISTORY
The University of Asia and the Pacific is a
private, not-for-profit institution of higher
learning. We trace our beginnings to the
(CRC), which was established more than 40
years ago as a private think-tank conducting
research and offering graduate courses in
economics and management. We gradually
expanded our educational activities to other
fields and in 1995 were granted university
status by the Commission on Higher Education. Since then, we have become known as
the University of Asia and the Pacific.
Located in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, Metro
Manila, we have a population of 2,050 undergraduate and graduate students. There are
144 full-time faculty members, 125 part-time
faculty members, and 190 administrative
staff. To date, we have produced more than
7, 285 alumni, including those who graduated from the Center for Research and Communication.
OUR SCHOOLS
The University has long-term plans for a
multi-campus system offering various fields
of specialization and emphasizing professional competence founded on a strong liberal arts education. At present, we have one
college and six schools that offer academic
degrees:
College of Arts and Sciences (CAS)
School of Communication (SCM)
School of Economics (SEC)
School of Education and Human Development (SED)
School of Law and Governance (SLG)
School of Management (SMN)
School of Sciences and Engineering (SSE)
OUR BRAND OF EDUCATION

Founded on the liberal arts and humanities,
our academic programs push forward and
break boundaries while carrying on from the
traditions of learning. This distinctive approach to learning has made UA&P all that
it is today and in such a short time. Small,
young, and dynamic, the University has
already grown into its own as one of the top
schools in the country. Imagine where we
will be tomorrow.
OUR GRADUATES
Employers attest that UA&P graduates distinguish themselves in the workplace as much
by their work ethic and discipline as by their
ability to learn quickly, handle a wide range
of tasks, and communicate and interact well
with people inside and outside the organization. They come across as fresh, young
talents who combine breadth of learning,
professional skills and commitment, ethical
practice, and humanity.
At UA&P, meeting the need of employers for
knowledge workers is not our sole concern.
Our students are educated as professionals,
as citizens, and above all, as whole persons.
OUR HALLMARKS
In our institutional programs and activities, we
put due emphasis on the individual, the family, the community, and the world. Each unit
of the University thus strives to be a center of
excellence, particularly in three areas: values
formation, people development, and research
and communication. These are the hallmark
programs of UA&P as an educational institution.
Center for Social Responsibility (CSR), for

the people development hallmark

(CRC), for the research and communication hallmark
OUR MOTTO
The University seeks above all, unity of faith
and reason and unity of religion and life.
It reflects the commitment of everyone in
UA&P toward the pursuit of wisdom and
unity of life. This commitment is summed up
in one word: Unitas.
OUR UNIVERSITY CREDO

We believe
that education is a lifelong process, and

its focal point is and should always be
the individual person;
that the primary purpose of education

is the integral formation of the human
person, the fullest development of everything that is human in the individual;
that it is an essential part of the mission

of a school to help and complement the
family in the exercise of its educational
rights and duties;
that a university must be ever attentive and responsive to the real needs of
the community that sustains it, seek to
significantly contribute to human progress, and do everything it can to uplift the
moral, cultural, and material level of the
country and the region in which it operates; and
that a university fulfills its role best when

it forms individuals who are competent,
creative and enterprising, zealous for the
common good, and capable of making
free and morally upright choices, and
who can thus act as positive agents of
change in service of society.
Values Education
We are committed to the inculcation of Christian human values and attitudes, and our
academic programs always include courses
in social and professional ethics.
People Development
The University works with development
programs that help people to help themselves through values formation, general
and technical education, health and nutrition,
environmental quality, and cooperation.
Research and Communication
As an academic community, we undertake
high-level interdisciplinary research for the
good of society and communicate the results
of such research through various media and
to varied audiences.
Three centers are mandated to promote
these hallmarks:
Center for Student Affairs (CSA), for the

values formation hallmark
We, who form part of the University of Asia

and the Pacific, therefore, dedicate and commit ourselves to
the highest standards of professional excellence in our academic, scientific, and

cultural endeavors;
the inculcation of sound and time-tested

human and social values and attitudes
in people, beginning with those we work
and live with and reaching out especially
to those in most need of help in society;
the creation within the University of an
atmosphere of academic serenity conducive not only to disciplined and diligent
study, high-level research, and the responsible use of the freedom of scientific inquiry, but also to mutual respect,
openness, understanding, and friendship,
without discrimination of any kind; and
above all, the arduous but most spiritually rewarding pursuit of wisdom, the
synthesis of love of God and knowledge,
faith and reason, culture and life.

techniques so as to become a source of
innovative forms of learning, as well as
contribute to a better balance between
the cost and quality of research, communication, and education;
adapt its teaching programs, founded

upon basic research and the study of humanities, to the actual needs of a society
undergoing progressive change and of
a wide region promoting international
cooperation;
seek, while working closely with other

Philippine institutions, wider regional and
international recognition so that it can
be present in intellectual fora and policy
dialogues;
strengthen and broaden the avenues

of cooperation so that it can effectively
contribute to the spread of proper values
and people development and obtain from
various sectors of society the necessary
support to carry out its extensive work;
organize itself in a manner conducive to

internal efficiency and effective coordination, while keeping enough flexibility,
so as to enable all members of the University community to contribute freely
and responsibly to the fulfillment of their
common tasks; and
strive to attain, as a necessary condition

for its autonomous development, a level
of economic self-sufficiency that will
allow the University to firmly establish
itself as a center of academic excellence,
to initiate new projects, and to admit
well-qualified students from the underprivileged sectors of society.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT

The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P)
is an academic community where the pursuit
and spread of truth are undertaken according
to the highest intellectual and professional
standards. It shall always remain faithful to
these foundation aims:
to pursue, through world-class research,

an interdisciplinary synthesis of humanistic, professional, scientific, and technical
knowledge, inspired by a Christian view
of man and sense of life;
to promote, in an atmosphere of freedom, the integral development of all the
members of the University community
so that they may work with good will,
competence, and team spirit;
to form committed professionals and encourage them to serve with personal initiative and civic responsibility the community

among persons of all races, beliefs, and
social conditions.
To achieve these aims, the University of Asia

and the Pacific shall
seek to reach a level of excellence in its

research and teaching programs that will
Why Go to UA&P?
We have a burning desire for excellence.
Just like you, we are young, headstrong, and
passionate about our dreams. And we want
the best. We want to change the world. And
we want people with that same kind of fire raging in their eyes. To cherish it. To kindle it. To
set aflame the paths that others may follow. To
shed the light that others may take comfort in.
We are an effervescent glimmer in time about
to shine forth through the ages. And we want
YOU there, blazing that trail with us.
We aspire for the higher good.

Our programs seek to turn students not only
into good professionals, but also into good
citizens backed with a strong Catholic identity and spiritual formation. In this regard,
we rely on Opus Dei, a personal prelature of
the Catholic Church, to orient the students,
as well as the faculty and staff, to a life that
reflects Christian beliefs and values, and
ensures the doctrinal and moral soundness
of other aspects of formation imparted in the
University.
We foster the whole-person formation of

students.
In the Asia-Pacific region, UA&P is singular
in using a mentoring system in which oneon-one sessions between mentor and student aim to bring the integration of knowledge, skills, and values down to the personal
level. This mentoring program nourishes the
individual development and reinforces the
whole-person formation students receive
from the liberal education and the graduate
schools. It provides students with the opportunity to avail themselves of personal advising and assistance in different areas and at
various stages of their personal, professional, and social life in the University.
We believe that education is for everyone.

We have one of the most robust scholarship
programs in the countryone that allows us
to nurture young minds in an environment
that allows them to reach their fullest potential. UA&Ps scholarsboth merit scholars
and financial aid recipientscome from the
most diverse backgrounds and have the most
varied looks and personalities.

We call them Stellar Scholarsan allusion to the star on
our coat of arms that guides
the galleon to its port. They are
leaders and luminaries (though
apparently ordinary) who give
their peers examples on how to
strike a balance between fun and
study, make them compatible,
and excel in both.
We have excellent educational

resources.
The campus atmosphere that
UA&P provides for its students
exercises a decisive influence
that extends beyond lectures,
classes, or the laboratory. In our
commitment to give our students a quality education, we
rely on our excellent educational
resources. We also turn, in addition, to several non-academic
venues in which the development of values, character, creativity, and leadership skills
is given adequate attention.
These venues provide students
with their basic needs, as well
as ample opportunities for
outside-the-classroom development in the virtues associated
with the perfection of the human person through work and
relations with others.
We put emphasis where emphasis is due.

UA&P puts due emphasis on
the person, the family, the
nation, and the Asia-Pacific
region. We provide a powerful
combination of liberal education and professional specialization. We breed leaders who go
on to excel in their fields, reach
out to their communities, and
inspire others with their valuebased outlook and openness to
life. In UA&P, we always strive
to be responsive to the needs
of the community we belong
to and at large, whether these
needs be immediate or lasting.
The Student Life

Every student who has gone through a fruitful university experience knows that a students life extends beyond the academic
course of studies. Here in UA&P, we want you to take advantage of
the many opportunities to develop friendships, discover what you
are good at, strengthen your character, acquire the right personal
and social values, and hone your leadership skills. Many of these
you do not learn sitting down and taking notes.
STUDENT MENTORING PROGRAM

An intrinsic part of the Universitys liberal
education is the Student Mentoring
Program, through which UA&Ps
interdisciplinary offering of knowledge,
skills, and values is reinforced on a oneto-one personal level. This program is
one of the many signs of the Universitys
commitment to the integral development of
its students.
The Student Mentoring Program provides
students with the opportunity to avail
themselves of personal advising and
assistance in different areas and at various
stages of student life. Mentoring enables
the student to reflect upon, assess, evaluate,
and integrate his or her learning skills
and experiencesunder the guidance
of a mentorin a way that benefits the
students acquisition and strengthening of
intellectual skills and moral criteria. The
mentoring program is aimed toward the
holistic formation of the students personal,
professional, and social life.
This system of personal formation
essentially revolves around the mentoring
sessions, which are regular, confidential
conversations between the student and his
or her mentor about student life. In principle,
the sessions occur for 30 minutes once or
twice a month. However, if circumstances
permit, the mentor can meet his or her
mentees as often as needed.
The mentoring program is gender specific:
female students are assigned female
mentors; male students, male mentors.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
There is a diverse selection of activities,
development programs, and volunteer
projects in store for students who wish to
optimize their college experience.
Civics
Our graduates begin young as proactive

students who realize that citizenship is not
just a label or a title, but a way of living.
This perspective is reinforced by university
education that helps students understand
the notion and obligations of citizenship and
the principles behind political and social
participation. This means exposing students
10
to its actual exercise in the communities

where they find themselves.
The Civics Desk of UA&Ps Center for Student
Affairs (CSA) promotes awareness of sociopolitical issues and concerns, responsible
citizenship, and leadership empowerment.
Its annual CivAsia Conference Series serves
as a venue for reasoned conversation on
socio-political concerns. In this arena,
student leaders from all around the
Philippines and even neighboring countries
discuss the diverse angles of immediate
social issues. These conferences continue
to establish a network among University
student leaders and more importantly,
provide opportunities for the youth to
participate in the exercise of nation-building.
Civics Desks BIGGKAS (Basa, Isip, Gawa,
Galing, Katesismo, Arte, Sports) exposes
students and other members of the
university to social issues and solutions,
furthering their sense of active and
responsible citizenship. In 2010, students
involved in BIGGKAS introduced a farm
in the city concept of developing new
hydroponic farming technology to the
adopted community of the University, Brgy.
San Joaquin in Pasig City. The produce from
this urban garden could be used to start
a feeding program for the malnourished
children of the community and catalyze new
business ventures for the local women in
bottling new items for direct selling.
UA&P H.O.P.E.S. is a disaster relief operation
started by the Student Executive Board (now
University Student Government) during
Typhoon Ondoy (known as Ketsana) in 2009.
Until today, HOPES is reinstated whenever
needs arise, turning the University into a
major relief center.
Through its Unitas Leadership Education
Program (UN/LEAD/ED), the Civics Desk
contributes to the development of current
and emerging student leaders. Moreover,
it oversees the formation of the student
government and student organizations
(particularly the civic and professional orgs)
by providing assistance, support, and advice
necessary to the efficiency and organization
of these student groups.
The University Student Government (USG)
is the highest elective office of the student
body. It consists of students who ought

to serve the student body by promoting
the common good in the principle of
subsidiarity. The student-representative
body organizes and oversees official student
activities in promoting student involvement
and empowerment. Apart from representing
the student bodys interests before school
authorities, those in the USG must think
broadly, i.e., to think University and not
just to advocate a narrow perspective.
The recognized civics-oriented student
organizations in UA&P are AIESEC, Catalyst,
ER+GO, F, and Sabio.
AIESEC-UA&P is part of the worlds largest
youth-run organization. Focused on
providing a platform for youth leadership
development, AIESEC offers young people
the opportunity to be global citizens, to
change the world, and to get experience and
skills that matter today.
Catalyst is the UA&P students outreach,
advocacy, and leadership organization. It
aims to provide opportunities to participate
in meaningful service projects that uplift the
economic, moral, and intellectual status of
individuals, communities, and sectors of
Philippine society most in need.
ER+GO is an environmental organization
initiated by UA&P students. It aims to
educate and encourage the youth to
care for our environment, and to provide
opportunities for people to actively
participate and create solutions for the
benefit of the environment.
F is a Filipino-Chinese organization. It is
affiliated with the Alliance of Filipino-Chinese
Students (AFICS), an umbrella organization
that aspires to be the voice of the
contemporary Filipino-Chinese youth, and
gears itself toward socio-cultural awareness
and understanding.
Sabio is the official organization of UA&P
scholars. Its members aspire to live the
ideals of academic excellence, friendship,
and personal and social responsibility. Sabio,
in Spanish, means wise or learned. This
term describes what the Universitys scholars
must be, that is, to be students who strive
to achieve academically and to become an
active part of the University by helping other
students and prospective scholars in their
human, cultural, and professional formation.
11
Arts
A liberal arts institution with numerous stage productions,
concerts, workshops and art exhibits, UA&P is home
to young talents, award-winning artists, and respected
scholars that have come to represent the region
internationally.
The Universitys arts and culture scene is made constantly
alive by the various theater and arts student organizations
led by the Center for Student Affairs Kultura Desk and
the academic departments of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
The Kultura Desk of CSA aims to be both a home for the
communitys creative talents as well as a coordinating
body for cultural and artistic events within the University.
Every year, with the cooperation of student volunteers,
it produces a varied arts season for the benefit of the
University community. Kultura also provides guidance to
student organizations that focus on the arts, and oversees
the activities of the UA&P Chorale, the Universitys
resident choral ensemble.
Recognized arts-oriented student organizations in UA&P
are Dulaang Rock Opera Company (Dulaang ROC), I-SA
Dance Organization, ViARE, and Reverb.
Established in 1989, Dulaang Rock Opera Company
(originally named Rock Opera Company) is the pioneering
student theater organization of UA&P. It aims to promote
Filipino culture, language, and literature by staging the
works of established and emerging Filipino playwrights.
I-SA Dance Organization provides a home for dancers and
dance enthusiasts to create, showcase, and appreciate
dance, not just as a sport, but as an art.
Founded in 1993, ViARE continues its tradition of
propagating arts appreciation through theater. ViARE aims
to provide a suitable outlet for the members respective
talents within the parameters of the theater experience.
Reverb is an organization for all the musicians and music
enthusiasts of UA&P.
The departments under the College of Arts and Sciences
help promote culture and appreciation for the arts and the
written word through their activities and programs.
The Department of Arts invites known artists, musicians,
designers, and performers the world over to give talks
and workshops on their crafts. Besides partnering with
galleries, museums, individual artists, and groups, the
department also independently hosts film festivals,
exhibits, tours, and concerts. It also establishes the
foundation for a refined and critical appreciation of beauty.
12
The Department of English, true to its role of nurturing an

understanding of the unity and diversity in the world, organizes
interdisciplinary activities featuring talks by personalities from the
fields of arts, business, social work, the sciences, and politics. It holds
the annual English Week in July.
The Buwan ng Wika (Month of Language) activities in August are
headed by the Department of Filipino, whose task is to nurture
students communication skills in the countrys native language.
Among the months activities are the Sabayang Pagbigkas (choral
recitation) competition between high schools all over the country,
Filipino parlor games, talks by prominent artists, and performances.
The Department of Literature, with its goal of enabling students
to enjoy the richness and diversity of written works, hosts
the Shakespeare Week in February, which celebrates the genius of
the Bard through poetry, monologue, and a theatrical performance.
Sports
UA&Ps Varsity Sports Program (VSP) is made up of teams composed
of student-athletes who represent UA&P in external events and
tournaments. The teams include mens and womens basketball,
mens and womens futsal, mens and womens volleyball, mens and
womens table tennis, Squadra (dance group), and the Firestarters
(cheerleading squad).
UA&P is a member of the Mens and Womens National Collegiate
Athletic Associations (MNCAA and WNCAA).
The UA&P Futsal Dragons is one of the first Philippine varsities to
promote and play futsal competitively.
STUDENT TRADITIONS
To blaze trails is to start new traditions, but long-standing traditions
are fuel to such fire, so to speak.
Though a young university, UA&P has beloved customs many of
which are held annually and eagerly awaited by students, staff, and
alumni alike.
Institutional events, such as the Incorporation, Equatorials, and
Graduation Rites, and liturgical activities like the Eucharistic
Processions, are also among the formal programs carried out for
UA&Ps student body.
Incorporation Rites
The first academic rite a UA&P freshman undergoes is the Incorporation
Rites. An annual tradition held on or close to the University Foundation
Day, August 15, this is a short ceremony in which the freshmen are
formally welcomed to the University. At this celebration, freshmen
receive an academic sash or beca, as it is called in Spain. It bears the
color white (representing the College of Arts and Sciences) and the
College seal. The celebration marks the students formal incorporation
or admission as freshmen into the University, signifying their
membership in the UA&P community. Students are asked to wear their
beca during very special occasions and institutional events.
13
Equatorials
The Equatorial Rites are an official academic
function for students who have completed
their first two years at the University. The
underlying concept of the celebration is
derived from the tradition in some European
universities of officially recognizing those
students who have successfully completed
half of their course of studies. In Spain, this
academic act of recognition is called Paso del
Ecuador; this is translated as the crossing of
the equator. This tradition was first adopted
by CAS in 1990 and is the most significant
academic function after the first two years.
At this celebration, students receive a beca,
a traditional academic garb originating from
Europe, bearing the color of the respective
School that houses their chosen program
of study, and the University seal. The colors
of the schools are crimson for the School
of Communication, violet for the School
of Law and Governance, yellow for the
School of Sciences and Engineering, drab
for the School of Management, light blue
for the School of Education and Human
Development, and copper for the School of
Economics. Aside from the imposition of
the becas, special awards are also given to
students who have distinguished themselves
during their first two years in the University.
Graduation Rites
Around 300 students graduate from the
University annually, each with either a
bachelors or masters degree. A salutation
by an exemplary student usually opens
the graduation ceremonies after a solemn
rendition of the Philippine National Anthem
by the Chorale and an Invocation by a
resident priest, normally the University
Chaplain. An individual of good repute and
well-entrenched in his or her field is invited
to deliver the Commencement Address. The
presentation of academic awards and the
much-awaited valediction follow the keynote
speech. After the conferral of degrees by
the University President, the Chorale sings
the Acclamation in Latin and the Alumni
Association incorporates a distinguished
member.
14
Services and Facilities

There are elements in the university life that do not figure in lesson plans or co-curricular planning but play an important role
in the education of students as they go around the campus and
interrelate with people: the general university ambience, material
order, building and equipment maintenance, cordiality of teachers
and staff, and optimum security, among others. In UA&P, we make
it our responsibility to care for these details in order to create a
wholesome environment for teaching and learning.
15
GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING

The Mentoring and Guidance Desks of the Center for Student Affairs is one link in the chain of
services directed toward the integral formation of UA&P students. As students grow into the
University, their concerns and expectations change when they encounter personal difficulties
in academics, environment, adjustment to college life, and interpersonal relationships. The
Guidance Desk helps students find healthy ways to address these issues through its comprehensive services and development programs.
The guidance counselors are available for personal or group counseling sessions. Because the
University knows that each individual is unique, each counseling session is conducted in a relaxed
and friendly atmosphere, with the utmost respect for confidentiality and privacy.
The Guidance Desk also offers other programs and seminars that explore and develop the
potential of the students.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

To help students finance their undergraduate education, the University of Asia and the Pacific
offers merit scholarships and financial assistance on the basis of the results of their entrance
exam, their high school academic performance, and financial status.
Merit Scholarships
Merit scholarships are highly competitive study grants that may cover up to 100% of tuition

Student Services Desk in coordination with
the other units of the University (for 1st- to
3rd-year students), and by the respective
schools of the grantees (for 4th- and 5th-year
students). The relevant unit of the University shall give a report on each grantees
performance to the Scholarship Committee
at the end of each school year. The level of
financial assistance the student is given may
be modified on the basis of his or her performance as a student assistant.
CHAPLAINCY SERVICES
Part of a persons integral formation is provided by formative activities that promote a
deeper understanding of religious doctrine
and growth in spiritual life. Students are
encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities for spiritual direction.
Appointments are made directly with the chaplains. The UA&P chaplains hold office in (a) the
Sancta Maria Stella Orientis Oratory located
at the Development Communications Building
(DCB) and (b) beside the chapel of the Administration and Library Building (ALB).
Eucharistic Celebrations and Confessions
Holy Mass is celebrated at the Stella Orientis Oratory at 7:45 a.m. and 12:05 p.m. on
weekdays, and at 12:05 p.m. on Saturdays.
On Fridays, the 12:05 p.m. Mass is celebrated
in Latin. A Eucharistic Vigil of the Blessed
Sacrament is also held every Friday after the
12:05 p.m. Mass. The Stella Orientis Oratory
is also open for confessions from 8:30 a.m.
to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9:30 a.m.
to 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Students may also
visit the ALB Oratory anytime.

Other Chaplaincy Services

The Chaplaincy also organizes special activities such as recollections, retreats, seminars,
and other liturgical services. The schedule of
official retreats for male and female students may be obtained from announcements
posted on the bulletin boards around the
campus. Initiatives that pertain to the liturgy
(e.g., adoration of the Blessed Sacrament,
processions, public recitation of the rosary,
and prayer meetings) are welcome. Nevertheless, for the sake of order and liturgical
appropriateness, one of the Chaplains should
be consulted before holding these activities.
STUDENT COMMUNICATIONS
The proper and timely articulation of University policies, procedures, announcements, and
other news is crucial in making student life
more fruitful. The Corporate Communications
Office (CCO), the Center for Student Affairs
(CSA), and other units of the University provide regular communications to ensure that
students are informed, updated, or reminded
about existing, recently approved, or revised
policies and procedures, as well as other
relevant news. Effective communication is
achieved by the dissemination of information
via the following channels:
Bulletin boards (Study Hall A, CAS Ledge, etc.)

The two open areas at the ground floor of
the APEC Communications Building (ACB)
are designated as Study Halls A and B. Study
Hall A is reserved exclusively for study purposes. The only events that can be held there
are official university-wide activities such as
registration, orientation, and student-government elections. Study Hall B, while primarily a study area, can also be used for other
school activities during study periods (i.e.,
regular class hours). These activities include
orientations, registrations, job fairs, exhibits, and catered dining for official university
activities.
20
LOCKERS
Student lockers are available on a first-come,
first-served basis at various locations around
the campus.
UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE
The University Bookstore is located at the
DCB Ground Floor near the stairs of the Stella
Orientis Oratory.

parts of the campus: the ALB entrance, DCB
entrance, the driveway entrance/exit at Pearl
Drive, the driveway exit at St. Josemara
Escriv Drive, and the parking lot.
The Academic Life

A students course of study may either be (a) a four-year degree
program, which entitles him or her to earn an AB (Bachelor of
Arts) or a BS (Bachelor of Science) undergraduate degree at the
end of the course, or (b) a five-year masters program, through
which he or she may earn an MA (Master of Arts) or an MS (Master of Science) degree at the end of five years.
21
All programs of study begin with the core

curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). The liberal education of CAS
not only prepares the students for their
specific specialization, but also gives them
a well-rounded education that cultivates
genuine intellectual disciplinea prerequisite to acquiring any specialized knowledge.
The two-step educational process that the
University provides arises from the conviction that college students who immediately
pursue a specialization without the solid
grounding that a liberal education imparts
will be ill-prepared for the lifelong process of
learning, and that professional excellence today demands ever-increasing specialization
no longer adequately met by a bachelors
degree.
For the AB/BS program students, the CAS
curriculum is a preparation for immersion
in their major or specialized course after
their sophomore year. For MA/MS program
students, it is a preparation for their specific
specialization in the graduate level (fourth
and fifth year). At the end of three years, students under the five-year masters programs
will have completed all the academic requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities
degree. If they meet all the academic requirements of the graduate program of their
choice, they can graduate with two degrees
(a bachelors degree and a masters degree)
at the end of five years.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Qualifications and Standards for Admission
Admission to AB/BS four-year programs
Students who qualify for admission to the
University are automatically admitted into
the AB or BS program of their choice as indicated in their application to the University.
If certain programs have additional requirements for admission (e.g., math grades/
scores for admission to B.S. in Applied Math,
B.S. in Industrial Engineering, and B.S. in
Information Technology; interview for B.S.
in Entrepreneurial Management applicants,
etc.), applicants must pass these additional
requirements as well. Also, depending on
their English scores in the admissions exam,
international students who graduated from
high schools where English was not the medium of instruction may be required to take
additional courses in English before they can
take a full load.
22
Admission to MA/MS five-year programs

Students admitted to the four-year AB or BS
programs but who are interested in getting
into any of the five-year graduate programs
may signify their application to the five-year
program in writing, not later than the second
semester of their sophomore year, subject to
the admissions requirements of the individual graduate programs.

REGISTRATION AND ENROLLMENT

Registration is a preliminary step to enrollment and consists of
enlisting the subjects the student is required to take under his or her
chosen program of study. The students registration in the University
implicitly signifies his or her willingness to abide by all the rules and
regulations of the University.
General Guidelines
1.
Notices and announcements. Registration announcements and notices are placed on the bulletin boards in various locations. Announcements are also posted on the UA&P Enlistment Portal
(http://enlistment.uap.asia). Specific registration procedures
change from time to time in view of a continuing development
program to streamline and improve procedures. Students are
advised to follow all instructions and observe all deadlines.
2.
Online enlistment. Students can enlist their subjects online. To avoid

overloading the system, there are schedules for online enlistment.
Students may visit the UA&P Enlistment Portal for announcements and instructions.
3.
Pre-enlistment. Beginning SY 2014-2015, all freshmen and sophomore, as well as all students under the Entrepreneurial Management program, are pre-enlisted by REG. During the online enlistment period, these students do the following: view their schedule/
pre-enlisted subjects online, print their Registration Certificate
(RC) and present it on campus for enrollment and payment. It is
only during on-campus enrollment that pre-enlisted students will
be allowed to add more subjects if they still lack units, or in some
cases, advance some subjects after getting clearance from the
proper academic adviser.
4.
Academic advising. Academic advising is part of the enrollment

procedure and is needed especially in the following cases: when
subjects to be added are advanced subjects, when subjects to be
dropped are pre-requisite subjects, when changing subjects that
have been enlisted online, and when dropping pre-enlisted subjects. For CAS subjects, advising is done by the CAS academic
adviser, while for specialization subjects, advising is done by the
academic adviser of the program.
5.
Enrollment. Students are considered officially enrolled only after

registration/enlistment and payment of tuition and other fees according to their chosen payment scheme.
6.
Modular subjects. If a student plans to take two modular subjects in

one semester, the first of which is a prerequisite of the other, he or
she must enlist in and pay for both subjects at the start of the semester; there is no mid-semester registration.
If a student fails the first module, he or she will automatically be
dropped from the second module, and the fees paid for the latter
will be credited to his or her account. If a student wants to enroll in a modular subject that starts during the second half of the
semester, he or she should enlist and pay for the said modular
subject at the start of the semester.
25
7.
8.
Enrollment for a subject necessary to obtain credits. Only students who are officially enrolled
are allowed to attend classes and are given
credits if they pass the course. Students
whose names do not appear on the class
list are presumed not to have enrolled for
the class. They must consult the Registrars
Office if they enrolled in a subject but their
names do not appear on the class list issued to the professor.
Load adjustments. Any deviations from the
regular semestral academic load resulting from back subjects, missing prerequisites, overloading, underloading, crossenrollment, and audited subjects must
first be cleared with the Registrar before
registration.
Documents Submitted upon Enrollment

All documents pertaining to enrollment, including the high school report card (Form No.
138) and the high school transcript of record
(Form No. 137), shall become the property of
the University. They will not be returned to the
students. Neither is it possible to claim them if
a student wishes to transfer to another school.
Instead, the Registrar will provide the stu dent
with the necessary transfer credentials.
Confidentiality of Students Records and Personal
Information
All personal information about the students
(including class schedules) and all student
records are strictly confidential and will not be
divulged or released to unauthorized persons.
FEES AND PAYMENTS

Modes of Payment
Payments may be made in cash, or by credit
card, telegraphic transfer, demand draft, or
personal check.
It is presumed that personal check payments
are backed with sufficient funds. If a check
bounces, it must be replaced immediately
with cash. Also, future check payments will
no longer be accepted.
The University has no existing ties with any
of the pre-need companies; thus, the University does not accept payment through educational plans.
Payment Schemes
Students have the option to choose from
three payment schemes:
26
Full payment
Two-installment scheme (with installment charge)

Three-installment scheme (with installment charge)
If the payment scheme chosen is installment and the check payment bounces, the
full amount becomes immediately due and
demandable and must be paid in cash. Also,
future check payments will no longer be
accepted. If a student fails to pay on the due
dates, any unpaid balance shall become immediately due and demandable. Full installment fees will also be charged. A 1% service
fee will be charged for every month of delay.
Reimbursements
If a student has paid the pertinent tuition and
other fees in full or for any period longer
than one month but voluntarily and in writing withdraws from the University, transfers
to another university, goes on Leave of Absence (LOA), or drops a subject he or she is
enrolled in within two weeks after the beginning of classes, he or she shall be entitled to
a refund of tuition and/or other fees based
on the following schedule, in accordance
with the Commission on Higher Educations
(CHED) Manual of Regulations for Private
Higher Education 2008 (Art. XX, Sec. 100):
For regular semesters
Within the first week of classes
Within the second week
After the second week
75% refund
50% refund
no refund
For the summer term

On the first and
second day of classes
On the third day of classes
After the third day of classes
75% refund
20% refund
no refund
This schedule will be followed whether or

not the student attended classes. Refunds
will be processed only after the student has
obtained the necessary clearance.
Refunds due to overpayment, or overpayment
resulting from a change in the students academic load, are credited toward subsequent
enrollments. However, refunds may be reimbursed upon submission of a letter from the
students parent/s or guardian.
Arrears
If a student has unsettled accounts or arrears
from the previous semester, he or she may
enroll for the following semester only after
these accounts or arrears have been settled.
ACADEMIC POLICIES
Academic Load
The school year is divided into two regular
terms: the first and second semesters. The
summer term is normally intended for remedial
work and some required specialization subjects.
A regular semester is 18 weeks long, including
final exams week. One unit of credit for a lecture course is equivalent to one hour of class
or recitation each week. One unit of credit for a
laboratory course is equivalent to two or three
hours of laboratory work per week.
Regular load
When a student registers in the University, it
is understood that he or she is enrolling for
the regular load of the entire semester according to the normal schedule stipulated in
the chosen program of study. Generally, the
approved program of study for the four-year
AB/BS programs consists of a normal load of
18 units of academic subjects per semester,
while for the five-year MA/MS programs, the
regular load consists of 21 units of academic
subjects per semester.
Minimum and maximum load
The minimum load of academic subjects
per semester for students is 15 units, while
the maximum load is 26 units (except for
programs whose curricula as mandated by
CHED require more than the allowable maximum load). For the summer term, the maximum load is nine units.
Underload
Students may be allowed, for sufficient and
valid reasons, to enroll in fewer units than
the normal load during regular semesters,
but in no case lower than the minimum load
of 15 academic units.
Overload
Students are ordinarily not allowed to go
beyond the number of units stipulated per semester in the chosen program of study. However, seniors or graduating students may be
permitted to overload in their last year in order
to graduate with their class. Such overload
requests are decided on a case-to-case basis.
Prerequisite subjects
Some subjects are regarded as prerequisites
for higher-level subjects. If the student has not
successfully completed a prerequisite subject,
he or she shall not be allowed to enroll for the
corresponding subject(s) at the next level.
Advancing of subjects
Students may be allowed to take subjects ahead of the normal schedule if they
have successfully passed the prerequisite
subject(s), as long as they comply with the
rules on overloading, and subject to the
availability of slots.
Changing streams/Shifting courses
Changing streams shall be defined as transferring from the four-year AB/BS program to
the five-year MA/MS program or vice-versa,
within the same field of specialization.
Shifting courses shall be defined as transferring from one program to another with a different field of specialization, whether it is being
offered by the same school or a different one.
Procedures for changing streams and shifting
courses are presented in the Student Handbook.
Academic and Non-Academic Subjects
Academic subjects
Academic subjects are governed by the policies enumerated in the academic code. In
particular, they are governed by the university policy on retention of students. Grades
in the academic subjects are included in
the computation of the general weighted
average (GWA) and the weighted average
(WA) for retention. All the core curriculum
subjects are considered academic except
for Physical Education (PE), Introduction to
People Development (IPD), National Service
Training Program (NSTP), and Asia-Pacific
Language subjects.
Non-academic subjects
Physical Education (PE) subjects, though considered non-academic, are included in the
computation of the GWA in compliance with
the policy of the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED). However, PE subjects are
not included in the computation of the WA to
determine retention in the University.
Introduction to People Development (IPD) is a
three-unit non-academic course that exposes
students to issues in corporate social responsibility (CSR), such as corruption, genetically
modified organisms, child labor, and environmental sustainability, among others. The
course introduces students to various corporate initiatives in mitigating issues through
a highly interactive session in the classroom
that entails analyses of case studies. Students
are then deployed to leading CSR organizations to document CSR-related issues using
27
analytical tools taught in the classroom and to analyze their approaches to resolving these issues.
The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a program mandated by law
for tertiary-level students. It aims to enhance civic consciousness and
defense preparedness in the youth by developing in them the ethics of
service and patriotism while they undergo training in any of the following three program components:
Reserve Officers Training Course (ROTC) is a program designed to

provide military training to tertiary-level students in order to motivate, train, organize, and mobilize them for defense preparedness.
Literacy Training Service (LTS) is a program designed to train students to become teachers of literacy and numerical skills to
schoolchildren, out-of-school youth, and other segments of society in need of their services.
Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) refers to programs or activities

that contribute to the general welfare and the betterment of life for
the members of the community or the enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to improving health, education,
environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation, and morals of
the citizenry. It is also aimed at articulating basic concepts of social
responsibility, civic consciousness, and community development,
and applying these development concepts in community-based
fieldwork.
The University offers the Literacy Training Service (LTS) and the
Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) only. Students who choose
the ROTC component will have to cross-enroll at other colleges and
universities that offer it. The student has to follow the proper procedures for cross-enrollment. He or she must have prior authorization
from the Registrars Office to cross-enroll; otherwise, he or she will
not be given any credits for the ROTC component.
Non-Filipino students are exempted from the completion of NSTP.
Students seeking exemption on the basis of citizenship have to
submit documents proving their foreign citizenship and an updated
Alien Certificate of Registration to the Registrars Office.
IPD and NSTP are handled by the Center for Social Responsibility
(CSR), a social extension center within the University that maximizes
the synergy of the faculty, students, and partner institutions in uplifting
the social and economic conditions of marginalized groups in society.
Asia-Pacific Language Studies
As a requirement for graduation from any of the five-year MA/MS
programs, students will be asked to pass a language proficiency test in
an Asia-Pacific language. An Asia-Pacific language shall mean any language officially recognized and spoken in any of the APEC countries,
with the exception of English and Philippine languages. The unit offers
classes in those languages for which there is a sufficient number of
interested students to make the course economically viable. For now,
these languages may include Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and French.
The competency preparation program is placed under the supervision
of the Asia-Pacific Language Unit.
28
Asia-Pacific Language courses are considered non-academic subjects, and thus do not
fall under the scope of the retention policy,
nor are they included in the computation of
the GWA or the WA.
Attendance
In principle, students must be present in all of
their classes. However, should circumstances
prevent it, they are required at the very least
to be present for at least 80 percent of the
subjects total class hours during the semester;
otherwise, they automatically fail the subject.
Absences
Due to cutting classes
These absences do not entitle students to
make up for missed requirements. This
is premised on the fact that when they
freely decide to forego or cut a class, they
consciously take the risk of missing out on
work that might be given in their absence.
Due to sickness
These absences are due to a serious
sickness needing medical attention. A
serious sickness must be diagnosed by a
doctor; hence, an official medical certificate is needed, and not just a simple
excuse letter from the students parents
or guardian, when the student reports
back to class.
Due to official business
These are absences incurred because of
ones participation in UA&P institutional
events and activities that normally appear in the official calendar of activities.
Absences due to sickness and official business shall be deducted from the students
balance of allowable absences, but entitle
him or her to make up for work missed on
the day(s) of absence (this includes papers,
quizzes, and exams). Incurring these types of
absences will not increase the students total
number of allowable absences: that number
will remain constant regardless of the type of
absence incurred.
Policies regarding late submission of requirements due to either of these two types of
absences (sickness or official business) are
left to the discretion of the teacher.
Absences will be assessed more stringently
when these occur during midterm and final
examinations.
Tardiness
The teacher has the discretion on whether or
not to allow a late student to enter the class.
The academic department and/or teacher
concerned may decide equivalencies between
tardiness and absence (e.g., three instances of
tardiness as equivalent to one absence). If the
student is more than 10 minutes late for class,
he or she may be considered absent.
Whenever a teacher is not present at the
beginning of a class, students are obliged to
wait for at least 15 minutes before leaving (for
one-hour and 1.5-hour classes). For two-hour
or three-hour classes, students are obliged to
wait at least 30 minutes before leaving.
Evaluation Tools and Examinations
The evaluation of a student is reached by
a reasoned judgment made by the subject
teacher on the students performance. Competence or grasp of knowledge or skills, or
the lack thereof, is the sole basis for their
marks. Effort and interest are not measures
of academic performance (though they ordinarily occasion good performance).
Examinations
Exams are given throughout the semester.
Final examinations are held during the last
week of the term. Although greater weight
is ordinarily given to the final examination mark, the percentage of this mark with
respect to the final grade varies among the
different academic departments.
Exemptions
Exemption from the final examinations is the
prerogative of the teacher. The department
and/or the teacher can, therefore, decide to
grant or not to grant exemptions. Exemptions are allowed only for the final examinations, and only for students with a standing
of 1.00 to 1.50 in the subject.

(graduate-level subjects), the minimum passing mark is 2.50, and the
failing mark is 3.00.
For prerequisite subjects, a passing mark implies that the student is
ready for the next subject level. A failing mark implies failure to reach
the required competence level in the subject. If a subject is a required
subject (not an elective) for the students chosen program of study,
the student who fails it has to re-take and pass it. Students who fail
an elective subject may either take it again and pass it or choose another elective subject to complete the required number of units.
If the student has exceeded the allowable number of absences for a
class he or she is officially enrolled in, the student shall be given a
failing mark due to academic deficiency caused by his or her absences. This Failure Due to Absences (FDA) shall be reflected in the transcript of records as a failing mark (3.50 for undergraduate subjects
and 3.00 for graduate-level subjects).
An Incomplete (INC) means that the students class standing is passing
but he or she, for justifiable reasons, has failed to submit an important
requirement. The student is given one semester to complete the lacking requirement for undergraduate subjects and one year for graduatelevel subjects (fourth and fifth year of the five-year programs).

For undergraduate subjects (core curriculum

subjects under CAS and AB/BS program
subjects): failure to submit the lacking requirement within one semester automatically converts an Incomplete (INC) mark into
a failing grade.

and
2. The application is accompanied by the
transcript(s) of records from the previous
school(s), as well as the pertinent course
descriptions and syllabi.
For graduate-level subjects (fourth- and fifthyear subjects under the five-year programs):
failure to submit the lacking requirement
within one year automatically converts an
Incomplete (INC) grade into a failing mark.
The processing of the request (including

administration and evaluation of a validating
examination, whenever applicable) must be
completed at least a week before the regular
semester enrollment to enable the student
to determine what subjects to enroll in.
Requests for accreditation after the specified
period are not allowed.
A Withdrawal with Permission (WP) means

that the student has made the decision not to
continue taking a subject and has filed within
the time specified in the academic calendar
the approved required forms with the Registrars Office.
The student may, with the permission of the
teacher, and subsequently of the Vice Dean
for Academic Affairs (for CAS subjects) or
the Program Director (for specialization subjects), withdraw from any subject he or she
is enrolled in, provided that the withdrawal
is made within the period indicated in the
university calendar and that such withdrawal
does not result in an academic load lower
than 15 units.
Until the request is officially granted, the
student must continue to attend classes in
the subject from which he or she wishes to
withdraw. Otherwise, the student may be
given a failing mark due to absences.
Requests for permitted withdrawals are
entertained only from students who have not
exceeded the number of absences allowed
by the University in the pertinent subjects.
Audited (AUD) means that the student has
enrolled for a class with the understanding
that he or she will not be given any academic
credits.
Credited (CRD) means that the subject taken
by the student at another educational institution is accredited by the University, and the
student will, therefore, be given academic
credits for the subject.
Transfer students can request for the accreditation of the subjects they have taken in their
previous school(s). Accreditation requests
will be entertained only if
1. The applicant submits his or her request
to the Registrars Office not later than a
Release of Grades
The students grades are completely confidential. They are released only through a
personal transaction between the student
and the teacher or the Registrar. Ordinarily,
grades may not be obtained by proxy. Whenever grades may be viewed electronically
by the students, the University adopts strict
security measures to maintain confidentiality so that only the student concerned can
view his or her grades. Students should also
take precautionary measures to protect this
confidentiality. The University is not liable
for any breach in confidentiality caused by
the students negligence or consent.
Grades may now be viewed online via the
UA&P website and on-campus kiosks.
A copy of the summary of final grades is sent
by mail to the students parents or guardians.
The Registrars Office may opt to withhold
the final grades if the student has not completely settled his or her accounts or in case
certain credentials required for enrollment
have not been submitted.
Academic Recognition
Students who excel in their academics are
given due recognition. The Registrars Office
releases the following lists a month after the
end of each semester:
Deans List
The Deans List recognizes students who
have shown excellent academic performance
in a particular semester based on their
Weighted Average (WA) for that semester.
To be on the Deans List, the student must
have:
A Weighted Average (WA) of 1.50 or better for that particular semester;
A regular academic load for the semester;
31
No failing mark during his or her entire

stay in the University; and
No incomplete mark for the current semester.
Note: Grades from the previous Summer
Term are included when computing for the
First Semester Deans List.
Presidents List
The Presidents List recognizes students who
have shown excellent academic performance
throughout their stay in the University based
on their General Weighted Average (GWA).
To be on the Presidents List, the student
must have:
A General Weighted Average (GWA) of
1.50 or better at the end of the semester;
A regular academic load;
No failing mark during his or her entire
stay in the University; and
No incomplete mark for the current semester.
Note: Students become eligible for inclusion
in the Presidents List after they have completed two semesters in the University.
If a student consistently earns a place on
these lists, he or she is on the path to graduating with Academic Honors.
General Weighted Average
The General Weighted Average (GWA) is
computed on the basis of the grades (1.00,
1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.25, 2.50, 2.75, 3.00,
and 3.50) given for all subjects completed at
and/or credited by the University, including
PE, but excluding IPD, NSTP, and Asia-Pacific
Language subjects.
PE, though not an academic subject, is
included in the GWA computation, in accordance with the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) policy.
Aside from being an indicator of the students academic performance, the GWA is
used to determine the students eligibility for
academic recognition (Presidents List) and
graduation honors. The Weighted Average
(WA) for the semester is also a criterion for
academic recognition (Deans List).
The GWA is computed differently from the
WA used to determine retention in the University.
32
Separation from the University

Leave of absence
A Leave of Absence (LOA) is granted if a student wishes to separate from the University
temporarily for non-academic or non-disciplinary reasons. If the student is granted an
LOA, he or she may continue his or her education in UA&P at a later date, provided the
student observes the Maximum Residency
Rule. LOA periods are included when computing a students residency at the University.
The duration of the LOA is limited to one year,
but may be extended on a case-to-case basis.
Students who are on Leave of Absence cannot be issued an Official Transcript of Record
or transfer credentials, as they are still considered students of the University. For this
reason, they are not supposed to apply for
admission to another university while they
are on Leave of Absence. Students who wish
to transfer to another university must first
voluntarily withdraw from the University.
Voluntary withdrawal
If a student is voluntarily withdrawing or separating from the University, for academic or
other reasons, the student must inform the
Registrars Office, in writing and with the signature of his or her parent/s or guardian, of
his or her intention to voluntarily withdraw
from the University. Subsequent procedures
for voluntary withdrawal are detailed in the
Student Handbook.
Transfer credentials
Transfer credentials are issued only to those
who are voluntarily withdrawing from the
University. Transfer credentials may be
withheld due to suspension, expulsion, or
non-settlement of property and financial obligations. These documents will be released
when the students obligations are settled or
the penalty of suspension is lifted.
Temporary transcript of record
A temporary transcript of record, which lists
all the grades for subjects the student has
completed in the University, may be issued
upon the students request in writing should
he or she decide to transfer to another university. The temporary transcript of record is
issued only for the purpose of evaluation by
another university.
Official transcript of record
An Official Transcript of Record is issued only to
1. Students who have graduated from the
University and
2. Students who have transferred to and have

been accepted by another university.
For students who have transferred to another
university, the Official Transcript of Record is
issued directly to the university to which the
student is transferring and upon the written
request of the said university. It cannot be
personally given to the student unless authorized by the requesting university.
Retention Policy
The retention policy is an academic standard
that determines the competence of a student
to meet the more rigorous demands of the
higher levels of the University program.
AB/BS four-year programs
To be retained in the University, students under the AB/BS four-year programs must meet
the following standards:
Attain a weighted average (WA) of 2.75 in
their freshman and sophomore years

academic units coursed in the junior year
(including summer term)
Pass all the required subjects for graduation in the senior year
Limit residency to six years
Note: Students under the B.S. Industrial Engineering program, which has a five-year curriculum as mandated by CHED, must meet
the following standards:
Attain a WA of 2.75 in their freshman,
sophomore, and junior years
academic units coursed in the fourth year
(including summer term)
Pass all the required subjects for graduation in the fifth year
Limit residency to seven years
MA/MS five-year programs
To be retained in the University, students
under the MA/MS five-year programs must
meet the required minimum standards:
Attain the following WA:
- 2.75 in their first year (for entry into
second year)
- 2.50 in their second year (for entry into

fourth year)
- 2.00 in their fourth year (for entry into
fifth year)
33
Complete all CAS subjects by the summer term of their third year
Additional retention standards may be required by the students specific program of

study, especially for admission to the fifth
year of the five-year programs.
Weighted Average (WA)
The weighted average used to determine
retention in the University is computed on
the basis of the grades given for all academic
subjects (excluding PE, IPD, NSTP, and AsiaPacific Language subjects) completed at and/
or credited by the University within a given
school year.
Included in the WA computation are the following subjects:
a. All academic subjects (that is, excuding
PE, IPD, NSTP, and Asia-Pacific Language
subjects, which are non-academic subjects)
b. Previously failed subjects (remedial subjects) re-taken during the first or second
semester (Remedial subjects re-taken
during summer are not included in the
computation.)
c. Required subjects (non-remedial subjects) taken for the first time during the
summer will be included in the computation of the WA for the succeeding year.
Note: A passing grade for a subject that the
student has previously failed within the year
(or during the previous summer) does not
replace his or her previous failing mark. Both
marks are included in the computation of the
WA.
must make sure that he or she completes all

the CAS subjects by the summer term of the
junior year.

academic and other requirements shall be
eligible for honors and privileges accruing to
a full graduate of the University.
No CAS Back Subject Policy

Students under the MA/MS five-year programs who have back subjects (subjects in
the CAS curriculum not taken for whatever
reason, or CAS subjects failed and not yet
re-taken or passed) shall not be allowed to
enroll in the graduate level (fourth year of
the five-year programs).
Academic honors
Academic honors are given to students who
have completed their respective programs of
study with the following GWAs:
The Manual of Regulations for Private Higher Education (MORPHE), Art. II, Section 8
requires a Bachelors degree as a minimum
qualification for entry to the graduate level.
The fourth year of the five-year programs is
equivalent to the first year of the graduate
level. For this reason, students under the
five-year programs have to complete all the
CAS subjects that are required for their bachelors degree (Bachelor of Arts in Humanities). To avoid being delayed, the student

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN
INDUSTRIAL ECONOMICS
The Master of Science in Industrial Economics, run by the School of Economics, is the
only economics program of its kind in the
country. It was developed in 1969 by two
of the countrys foremost economists, Dr.
Bernardo Villegas and Dr. Jesus Estanislao,
shortly after founding the Center for Research and Communication (CRC). UA&P, a
leading research institution and a catalyst
of economic progress in the Philippines and
in Asia, has earned a reputation for highly
relevant research through the works of its
teachers and students.
An intensive program of academic and
research work, MSIE equips graduates with
the proper mental and intellectual approach,
providing a mix of mathematical expertise
and a thorough understanding of how the
economy and business work. With faculty
members holding doctoral and masters
degrees from the best institutions around the
world, the students get a truly global education. The students learn from their mentors
who have earned their reputation for highly
relevant research in the fields of economic
forecasting, financial markets, industrial economics, wage determination, and the workings of the economy.
The following are the requirements for
graduation:
1. Completion of all academic and non-academic
requirements
Candidates for graduation must complete
all academic and non-academic requirements of the program and clear all academic
deficiencies. Students are eligible for graduation only if they have successfully completed all the courses in the curriculum; otherwise, they will not be allowed to participate
in the graduation ceremony.
2. Clearance
Students must secure a clearance from
the offices concerned before they are allowed to graduate. The filing of a graduation
clearance on or before the specified deadline
signifies their intention to be included in the
list of graduates.
The highly relevant training turns out topnotch influential people who decide the
destiny of the global economy. The program
has produced the only international trade
negotiator of the Philippines in the World
Trade Organization, the National Treasurer,
the Filipino Lead Economist of World Bank,
Tariff Commissioner, Senior Undersecretary
of DTI, and senior economic advisers to the
President and several government departments such as DOF, DOTC, DOT, and NEDA.
QUALIFICATIONS TO 5th YEAR

The students are eligible to proceed to the
fifth year when they have a general weighted
average (GWA) of 1.8 for the subjects taken
in the third year (12 units of the economic
subjects) and all the subjects in the fourth
year.
In the fifth year, the students spend a semester working in the field with corporations in
the private and public sectors. This intern-
67
ship begins in the first semester of the fifth

year and gives students a chance to apply
the tools they learn in the classroom to actual business and economic problems. During
the internship, students work for most of the
week in their host organizations and return
to UA&P on Fridays for their coursework.
One of the highlights of the program is for
the students to assist senior executives
enrolled in the Strategic Business Economics Program in their economic forecasting
exercise during an out-of-town conference.

DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION
The Education program of the University
of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) provides a
solid preparation for a career in education by
grounding in four areas of learning: foundational subjects, psychology, specialization
subjects, and research. These four areas of
learning are studied from and integrated by a
perspective that views the family as the first
school and parents as the primary educators
of their children.
The program offers a strong liberal arts
curriculum and rigorous courses in early
childhood education (the first eight years of
childhood). The Child Development and Education specialization forms early childhood
educators and specialists who can effectively
blend theory and practice to create positive
learning opportunities and experiences that
promote the total development of young
children.
Undergraduates attend six Field Study
courses intended to provide them with practical learning experiences related to different
components of teaching-learning processes
in actual school settings. The experiences
begin with field observation and gradually
build up toward Practice Teaching in early
childhood education (preschool setting and
the primary grades).
The program also prepares students to be
eligible to take the Professional Licensure
Examination for Teachers and pursue a masters degree in related fields such as Special
Education, Reading, Developmental Psychology, Early Childhood Education, and Family
Life and Child Development.
Graduates of the program work as preschool
and primary school teachers, administrators, or owners; as child education program
designers, managers, or consultants; and
as specialists or policy advocates on childrelated issues.

MAJOR IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT
AND EDUCATION
In recent years, research on children and
families has found that the early childhood
years are the most crucial time for developing essential linguistic, cognitive, and social
skills. Furthermore, it has been shown that
quality early education, carried out in a
stimulating and supportive environment, can
have significant positive long-termeven
lifetimeeffects, especially in relation to
academic achievement, employability, and
social behaviour.
In consonance with these research insights,
the School of Education and Human Development now offers a program for teachers
and other professionals interested in pursuing graduate studies and specializing in early
childhood education. The program leads to
the degree of Master of Arts in Education
(thesis track) and Master in Education (nonthesis track) major in Child Development
and Education. Participants can complete the
program in two years without having to give
up or be released from their jobs. They must
earn 39 units (33 units of coursework and
6 units of thesis writing for the thesis track,
and 6 units of Research Seminar for the nonthesis track) to be eligible for graduation.
The program seeks to form early childhood
educators and specialists (preschool and primary school teachers and administrators, child
development consultants, and researchers)
who can effectively blend theory and practice
in creating positive learning opportunities and
experiences for young children to promote
their total development. The MAE-CDE curriculum thus intertwines four areas of learning:
foundational subjects, psychology, specialization subjects, and research. These four areas
of learning are studied from and integrated by
a perspective that views the family as the first
school and parents as the primary educators of
their children.

School of
Sciences and
Engineering
The School of Sciences and Engineering
(SSE) aims to form its students into Renaissance scientists and engineers with a unique
portfolio of knowledge, abilities, skills and
habits, ensured by the Universitys longstanding tradition in the liberal arts.
UA&Ps pioneers saw the need to humanize
the sciences and engineering, both of which
experienced rapid technological growth at
the turn of the century. The sense of the
transcendentof the beyond what is apparentwas lost on the way and such loss led to
greater materialism. Todays engineers and
scientists may have effective models to earn
profits or invent things, but all at the cost of
ethical conduct. The School of Sciences and
Engineering aims to address that.
Under SSE are the following departments:
Department of Engineering
Department of Mathematics
Department of Natural Sciences
Department of Information Technology
SSE confers the following degrees:
Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

The BS Applied Mathematics program rests
on a strong liberal arts foundation and is
directed toward an understanding of mathematical theories and their application to
different fields of study. Emphasis is placed
on precision of definition, reasoning to arrive
at accurate conclusions, and analysis and
formulation of solutions to problems using
mathematical principles.
A graduate of the BS Applied Mathematics program can be a risk manager, finance
engineer, actuary, decision manager, quality
control manager, securities trader, financial
advisor, computer programmer, information
and software engineer, research engineer,
mathematical biologist, mathematical modeler, computational scientist, mathematical
economist, math researcher, or math professor.
He or she can also earn important roles in the
following emerging fields both in the Philippines and abroad: bioinformatics and systems
biology, data mining, materials science, computer animation and digital imaging, finance
and economics, ecology, epidemiology, climatology, and environmental issues.

traditional confines of computer science by
exposing them to an environment oriented
to both business and technology. It prepares
the students to meet the demands of the
fast-paced IT industry through a work-andstudy approach combining strong theoretical foundations with practical training and
liberal education.
BSIT graduates can pursue careers as systems analysts, software engineers, solutions
architects, and project managers. Some of
them may be database systems and network administrators. For the more businessinclined students, there are also careers in
technical sales, marketing management,
and business development. The majority of
graduates work for companies in the software, business-process outsourcing, manufacturing, and telecommunication industries,
while a number of them have set up their
own high-technology outfits.
To qualify for the BSIT program, students
must have a good scholastic performance in
high school and pass the university admissions test.

Merit scholarships are highly competitive

schools, as well as applicants whose high
school average is at least 90%.
The University also gives financial aid to
Filipino students who meet the following
criteria: financial need, as attested to by the
familys finances, and recommendations,
academic competence (high school average
of at least 85% and passing entrance exam
results), and interview evaluation.
Follow these procedures:
1. Fill out a Merit Scholarship/Financial Aid
Form, which may be obtained from the
UA&P Financial Management and Reporting Group or downloaded from the
UA&P website: www.uap.asia.
2. Submit the accomplished Merit Scholarship/Financial Aid Form together with the
application for admission. The following
documents must also be submitted:

Committee stating why the applicant

For those who are not filing income
tax returns (whether they are unemployed or self-employed with a
business earning not more than Php
100,000.00 annually), a certificate of
tax exemption (which can be obtained from the BIR district office)

knows the student and his or her family circumstances well)
All the requirements need to be complete in

order to facilitate the processing of the Merit

7. Is there a dress code?

UA&P adheres to a dress code in order to
create a professional culture on campus.
Most of the courses require the 4th- and 5thyear students to be in business attire when
they attend their major subjects. The undergraduate students may come to school in
casual wear.
8. What is the role of Opus Dei in UA&P?

Opus Dei has been contracted by the University to help in the spiritual and moral development of the students, faculty, and staff.
It also ensures the doctrinal integrity of the
Theology subjects taught as part of the curriculum.
Opus Dei neither owns the University nor
runs administrative matters that are outside
the scope mentioned above. The University
is a project of the UA&P Foundation, while
its administration is taken care of by the Universitys management staff.
9. I do not have a place to stay in Manila.

Where can I stay?
The Center for Student Affairs facilitates
housing arrangements for university students, especially if they are from the province or another country. There are housing
