UPOU Online Application System (OAS) Terms of Use

This Online Application System is owned and operated by the UP Open University. This system aims to automate the application for admission process and facilitate online tracking of application and admission status.

Before using the UPOU-OAS, the applicant should have read and understood the admission requirements of the program applied for. This information can be found at the UPOU website at www.upou.edu.ph.

An application will be reviewed and evaluated by the Admissions Committee only upon receipt of the original copy of your credentials, in particular a valid transcript of records (refer to https://registrar.upou.edu.ph/tor-acceptable-remarks/ ).  UPOU reserves the right to remove application information submitted online if the original copy of the required documents is not received by the Office of the University Registrar within 60 days from applying online.

The applicant is responsible for indicating the academic term of admission applied for. The academic term selection will be disabled after the deadline for application for a particular term. The applicant may then choose to apply for the succeeding term. For programs not accepting new applicants for a particular term, applications will be evaluated for the succeeding term of admission. Please refer to UPOU Graduate Programs and Intake Schedule posted at the UPOU website.
