APPLICATION PROCESS FOR BSBA/BSBAA EXTERNAL SHIFTEES (for applicants from UP Diliman and other UP units)

• 1. Download and fill out the Shifting Application Form (download using the menu under the 'File' option on the upper left hand portion, DO NOT request edit access). A student can only apply to one (1) program only, either BSBA or BSBAA.

  2. Request a Statement of Account (SOA) for the shifting application fee of Php30.00 at this link or make at request at VSB Room 105. You need the SOA in order to make a face-to-face payment (either at the UPD Cashier or at the UP VSB Library) or via online.

  3. Pay the shifting application fee at the UPD Cash Office, UP VSB Library, or via online. Be sure to secure your official receipt or print your online payment confirmation.

  4. Request from your home unit your True Copy of Grades (TCG) and/or Transcript of Records (TOR). The TCG and/or TOR should show all the grades from your 1st Semester in UP until the 2nd Semester, AY 2024-2025, issued and validated by your college or unit. Applicants who were previously enrolled in other UP units aside from their current home unit should submit both their TCG/TOR (from their old UP unit) and TCG from their current home college/unit. Make sure that all grades up to the Second Semester AY 2024-2025 are complete before making a request. Your submission will be considered incomplete if there is any missing grade. All applicants need to submit a scanned copy of their TCG and/or TOR via the online submission form, and for applicants from UP Diliman, a hardcopy to Ms. Teresa Bal (Student Records Evaluator) at VSB Room 105. Submission of copy of grades from CRS or any other platform is not allowed. There is no need to ask your College Secretary to send the TCG via email.

  5. For ALL applicants. Fill out the VSB Shifting Application Online Submission Form. The form requires you to upload your Shifting Application Form and TCG/TOR (all grades up to the 2nd Semester AY 2024-2025 must be complete). Your shifting application will not be processed if the online form is not received. A copy of your responses to the form sent via email serves as the confirmation of your submission.

  6. For applicants from units in UP Diliman, submit the hard copy of your application form and TCG at VSB Room 105 c/o Ms. Teresa Bal, together with your payment official receipt or a printed copy of your online payment confirmation. For applicants from other UP Units, you only need to submit the online form in No. 5.

  7. Submission of requirements in No. 5 and No. 6 above must be done on or before 20 June 2025, 5:00PM. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

  8. The results will be sent to your registered email address. For those who are accepted, the email will contain the list of documents that you should submit to complete the shifting process. Tentative date for the release of results is on 11 July 2025. Thank you for your patience.
