ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

• 1. Applicants from UP Diliman and other UP Units: Students of UP units who have completed at least thirty (30) units (excluding PE, NSTP, and other non-credit courses) as of the end of the 2nd Semester, AY 2022-2023, regardless if the courses are credited in the BSBA or BSBAA curriculum, may apply to shift, provided they have not already graduated from another undergraduate degree. Subjects with a grade of Pass will be counted in the 30-unit requirement.

  2. Applicants from within UPVSB: For students planning to shift to/from BSBA/BSBAA, please visit this page.

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.

  2. Request your college for your True Copy of Grades (TCG) or Transcript of Records (TOR). The TCG or TOR should show all the grades from your 1st Semester in UP until the 2nd Semester, AY 2022-2023, 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 TOR (from their old UP unit) and TCG from their current home college/unit.

  3. Pay the Php30.00 application fee at the Cashier. Please take note of the payment instructions found at this link. If you are paying via online, you should have your payment validated. Instructions are found in the same link.

  4. 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 2022-2023 must be complete). Your shifting application will not be processed if the online form is not received. There is no need to ask your College Secretary to send the TCG via email. Hard copies of the documents are not required. Deadline for submission of requirements through the online form is on 21 July 2023 (Updated Deadline), 11:59PM. Incomplete applications will not be processed. A copy of your responses to the form sent via email serves as the confirmation of your submission.

  5. The results will be emailed individually. For those who are accepted, 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 12 August 2023 [updated]. Thank you for your patience.
