How To Confirm Enrollment in UP

I am an incoming UP freshman myself, and confirming my enrollment in UP is probably the most important step to take as of yet. It's a pretty straightforward process, so here's how to do it.

First of all, you need to have received your congratulatory mail from the UP Office of the University Registrar (OUR). If you haven't yet, you should probably contact UP immediately (that is, if you're sure that you passed -- ie, if your name appears in the online UPCAT passers list). Attached in that mail would be your student information, a small sheet of paper stapled at the topmost at the stack of papers. There you will find your Student Number (begins with 2011- for batch 2011) and your 5-digit PIN number.

Once you have those ready, you should now proceed to http://freshman.up.edu.ph/. Sign-in at the right side of the page with your Student Number and 5-digit PIN.

You will now be presented with two options: first, to confirm your enrollment in your preferred academic program, and second, to cancel your slot and enroll elsewhere. Obviously, you'll want to click on the first option and hit the submission button at the lower part of the page. (Note: I've tried using Google Chrome on this page and it appears that the submission button is greyed out; works fine on Internet Explorer.) You will be taken to another page showing the brief summary of your choice and an option to confirm. Hit Confirm. Next, a page will be presented asking for your contact details (Telephone, Mobile, and E-mail address), fill it up and then submit.

Once you've finished confirming and filling up your contact info, you will be presented with a final page showing your final decision and most importantly, your confirmation tracking number. This number is useful in case you want to follow things up, or if you want to reconsider your decision.

That's it! You've confirmed your enrollment to the country's best university. See you all in three months, mga iskolar ng bayan!
