📢📢 The New Online Application System (OAS) is Now Live! (Posted 7 Aug 2026)

The enhanced Online Application System (OAS) is now available for Second Semester/Trimester AY 2026–2027 applications.

Access the new OAS here:  https://oas.upou.edu.ph/

Use the new OAS if you:

• You are a new applicant for the Second Semester/Trimester AY 2026–2027 beginning 7 August 2026.
• You have a draft or incomplete application in the old OAS and have not yet mailed your hard-copy requirements. Submit a new application through the new OAS.

Continue using the old OAS if you:

• You have already submitted your application for the Second Semester/Trimester AY 2026–2027 through the previous OAS and have already mailed your hard-copy requirements. Continue using the old OAS to monitor and complete the processing of your application.
• You applied for the First Semester/Trimester AY 2026–2027. Continue monitoring your application and admission status through the old OAS.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we transition to a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly admissions system.
