DEADLINE OF DROPPING AND LOA APPLICATION, SECOND SEMESTER AY 2025-2026

The deadline to finish the DROPPING process is on the 23rd day of April 2026  (Thursday).

The deadline to finish the LOA APPLICATION process is on the 7th day of May 2026 (Thursday).

For both processes, it is expected that all steps have been done on or before the deadline. These include getting your instructor's consent, having your adviser "note" your application, having your application endorsed by your dept/college (if applicable), approved by your dean, and paying the fees indicated in the dropping/LOA form/payment slip.

Students who will be applying for either DROPPING or LOA are reminded that it is your responsibility to ensure that the process is finished on or before the deadline.

Note that for non-degree students, your dropping application must undergo advising in your home unit/college since faculty accounts will not be able to "note" your application in the advising step.

For your guidance, you may see the flowcharts of DROPPING and LOA applications below:

SET ANSWERING, SECOND SEMESTER, AY 2025-2026

Please note that the Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) Answering Module in the Computerized Registration System (CRS) will be open from April 27 - May 19, 2026 only. This applies to all units except the MBA and MS Finance programs of the Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business, the Master of Management (MM), and Master in Governance and Innovative Leadership (MGIL) programs of UPDEPP/O, PM-TMEM, and UPSA.

Priority Tagging Policy:
Students may accomplish the SET by logging into their CRS accounts and clicking on the “SET Answering Module.” Those who fail to answer the SET will be tagged as "low priority" in the next term's pre-enlistment, and under the following conditions:
● Students who did not accomplish the SET for the second semester will be given low priority in the first semester of the following academic year;
● Students who enrolled during the midyear and did not accomplish the midyear SET will be given low priority in the first semester of the succeeding academic year;
● MBA students who fail to answer the SET will be delayed for 1 hour in the next term's real-time enlistment. 

Note that the evaluation of the teaching performance of teaching fellows and teaching associates (TFs/TAs) should also be conducted during the period stated above via CRS (if available).

For TFs and TAs who are not included in the CRS, kindly accomplish this Qualtrics Form during the same period: https://upsystemdiliman.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_czK5VMIoBFyGzS6

For assistance with online evaluation of TFs/TAs, kindly email the Office for the Advancement of Teaching at [email protected].

The results of the SET for Second Semester AY 2025 - 2026 will be used for developmental purposes (e.g., improving online/remote teaching and learning) and for decision-making purposes (e.g., faculty promotions, awards, tenure, and appointments.)

We request all units to inform their faculty members regarding the online SET, and the faculty members, in turn, to actively encourage their students (both undergraduate and graduate) to accomplish the SET carefully and regularly.

Kindly cascade the information to your faculty and students.
