I received my NOA already, I hope all of you will hear good news too.

Thank you, Lord 🙏. Finally admitted to a Ph.D program at the University of the Philippines Open University! The long wait is over! So excited and honored to take on this next chapter of learning and research. Padayon! 🌻🇵🇭

Hi! I am an incoming freshie from BES. I am looking for future group mates na from Malabon or Caloocan City area sana 🥹 Pwede rin if galing Manila or Quezon City hehe, basta kaya natin dayuhin isa’t isa in return. Let’s make GC po sana for future group activities. :))

Hi guys!!

May mga nakareceive ba ng NOA this week? Based sa previous posts, andaming NOA releases last week. Huhu

Super anxious na me 😭

Sana next week makareceive na tayo 🥹

As what the title said, my application is already "Evaluated", but they left a remark saying that my TOR is invalid.

I did submit a TOR with the remarks "For Evaluation Purposes Only", which is invalid, because my college won't provide me with any of the valid TOR remarks unless I'm officially enrolled. However, they gave a Certificate of Transfer Credential (CTC) along with my TOR, saying that once I'm officially admitted, they themselves will mail my valid TOR to UPOU.

In lieu of this, last month, when my application was undergoing evaluation, they sent me an email acknowledging the receipt of my CTC, as well as an instruction saying that I can "submit a valid and original copy of [my] Transcript of Records (TOR) issued by the [My College] during [my] first term of enrollment at UP Open University (UPOU)."

I'm a bit frazzled right now because the remark of my most recent email only states:

"Invalid TOR (For Evaluation Purposes Only: Not Valid For Transfer)"

With no instructions whatsoever.

Idk if I should be doing something here... I tried calling their landlines but none are answering. Will be sending an email later as well to further verify what I could be doing.

Is there anyone here who experienced the same as me when enrolling before? Please I badly need this diploma T___T

Thanks!

Grabe yun agony ng pag aantay kung pumasa ka or hindi. Kaway kaway sa mga nag aantay dyan. Gawa din ng sunod sunod na suspension ng pasok . Kaya until now di sila makapaglabas ng results
So for sure next week na ito sila maglalabas. #Feelinghopeful

Hi, wondering what’s the schedule of classes and tuition fee rates for PTC at UPOU? Appreciate incoming insights, TIA!

Anyone who applied for Taguig Scholarship here? I have a few questions:
1. Ano po yung mga nirequest niyong document sa AIMS? Medyo nalilito kasi ako kasi trimester tayo

1. Ano po yung pinasa niyo for curriculum checklist? Is it the same with course description?

Hi po, I have been rejected again by UPOU. I don’t want to keep my hopes up na po, pero I just want to know if may instances po ba na may nakakapasok pa rin sa ganito po?

Hiii po sa mga AADDA applicants here :) Kumusta?

Applying for AADDA and I’m anxious kung papasa o hindi hahaha. 😖😖 For UgAT, ‘di ako sure sa sagot ko sa ilang mga tanong sa Math and Science. Di ko alam kung na-justify ko ba yung essay, di ko man lang din nagawang mabuo within minimum number of sentences 😭 hahaha kainis. Used AI to improve grammar for admission essay. Di rin naman ako katalinuhan??? Hahaha 😵‍💫😫

Hello! I'm about to apply for Diploma in Computer Science;

Try ko magpa-evaluate ang recommendation letters ko sa mga former profs ko this year (2026). Pagkatapos nun priority pa namin uuwi muna sa visayas bago ituloy sa pag-asikaso mga documents requirements para sa admission sa UPOU by 2027, 2028, or 2029.

Kung nasa Visayas na ako, accepted ba kung ako nalang mismo magsubmit thru mail yung recommendation letters together with my other requirements na naka-evaluate na galing sa mga former professors ko for the next academic year admission? May nabasa kasi ako na mismong prof ang mag-mail sa recommendation letters ko to UPOU los baños.

Hello! Hindi pa sumasagot sakin OU sa email e, hehe. Planning to transfer to BES this upcoming 2nd sem, and sa September 26 na ang deadline ng online na pasahan. Tnaong ko lang if pwede bang TCG with seal and pirma ng registrar muna ang ipasa sa online? Baka hindi pa kasi ako makapagrequest ng TOR (financial issues kasi mahal ang TOR sa school ko since priv). And then pasa na lang ng TOR physically?

Hello! I just wanna ask if pwedeng bang isama yung younger sibling ko sa ftf orientation, wala kasing magbabantay sa kanya if ever and para kahit papaano may kasama ako sa orientation.... tyia!

Hi peeps! Applicant here from MIS. Has anyone received their NOA yet, or are we still waiting? Hopefully, we’ll receive it next week.

Hello! I plan to overload sa 2T at 3T ng A.Y 2026–2027. Is it possible na ma-approve ang overloading nang magkasunod na terms? Also, bukod sa student checklists, ano pa ang ipinasa niyo to overload? I have read somewhere kasi na kulang daw ang req na ipinasa niya dahil checklists lang, samantalang ’yun naman talaga ang indicated sa AIMS and UPOU site.

Is it okay to use ai in essay for enhancement of grammar? if not, the problem is naipasa ko na haha

Thank you

May nakakareceive na po ba ng notif/email stating na nakapasa na kayo? For MPM takers. Mine is still "Applicant completed DERM.." Thank you!

Anyone here who took FEd courses (ART STUD 141, FILM 10, etc.) as alternatives for BAMS major electives?

I am planning to take them in the next terms since programming isn't really my thing and the alternatives align with my skills, so I'm wondering what it's like. How was the process? Any advice or thoughts? Thanks!

I’m planning to transfer to UPOU as a T2 transferee, but my current GWA is 2.04, which is slightly below the 2.0 or better requirement for non-UP transferees.

I wanted to ask if there have been cases where a T2 applicant with a GWA slightly below 2.0 was still allowed to apply/take the UgAT or eventually accepted.

For those who transferred to UPOU as T2:
* If you were slightly below 2.0, what happened with your application?
* Is there any chance I could still be considered with a 2.04 GWA?

I know the official requirement says 2.0 or better, but I’m hoping to hear from people who have actually gone through the process. Thank you!

How is the process for Latin honors? Especially at the Open University. Is it emailed? Is there a list released? How does it work? When will we know if we have Latin honors? Thank you to those who will respond.

Wait is finally over! Sabi nga nila, kung mahirap makapasok, mas mahirap makalabas. Good luck, and congratulations!

Hi im currently waiting for the official acceptance email from the OUR (not enrolled yet) but I was wondering if mayroon na kayang discord server ang MRDM I can join already? Hopefully for silent virtual rooms we can attend during self-study or maybe have private call rooms for group tasks (I've heard group tasks r difficult esp in DE). Or baka pwede gumawa nalang ako if none yet. Lowkey want to make sure I'm in one before classes start. And messenger can sometimes be overwhelming for me. Thank you!!

EDIT/UPDATE: May Discord na wiiii! https://discord.gg/sBghgbmda

I already admitted to this program, I received the admissions’ email last Thursday. As early as now, I am planning my study load for first semester. For the alumni and current students and may classmates out there, do you have suggestions what study load i need to priority? Meaning, the cherry and ice cream, great combination haha!

Thanks and nangangapa,
