Validation for Advanced Credits

Advanced credits for courses taken outside the University may be granted upon passing the prescribed validation
examination.

Admitted undergraduate transfer students must validate all the courses they are offering for advanced credits at the rate
of at least 18 units a semester within a period not exceeding three (3) semesters from the date of their admission. Their
admission will be on a probationary basis until all subjects taken outside UP which are required for their program have been
validated or repeated, in accordance with the rule on validation of courses. Students will not be allowed to enroll in a subject, the
prerequisites of which, taken elsewhere, have not been validated, or repeated, as the case may be.

Student transferring from any recognized institution who possesses an Associate in Arts or its equivalent of sixty-six (66)
units of work may be enrolled without needing to take validation exams. Before a student is allowed to major in any discipline,
however, the unit may prescribe up to 18 additional units of general education subjects and/or preparatory subjects for the major.

CERTIFICATION AND DATA PRIVACY CONSENT FORM FOR U.P. FORM
NO. 3.1 (including automatic admission of Filipino citizens who graduated
from high schools abroad) NOTE: I respectfully recommend that the
relevant academic units edit this form so that it may also be used for graduate
admissions of foreign applicants
I certify that:

I read all the information contained in the site of the University

Registrar of (insert CU) (see for example UP Diliman T2Process.pdf
(upd.edu.ph)) and understood all the instructions in connection with my
application for admission to an undergraduate degree being offered by the
University of the Philippines.
I understand and agree that the term University of the Philippines (UP)
refers to the relevant University of the Philippines System Administration
and Constituent University (CU) offices, or any of its officials or authorized
personnel.
All the information supplied in support of my application, which
includes any appeals thereon that I may be allowed by UP to make are
true, complete and accurate.
I am aware that any information furnished in support of my application will be
checked against the original documents, and that withholding information or
giving false information will disqualify me from admission, or will be a basis
for dismissal if I am admitted.

I understand and agree that UP will process my name, photograph signature,

sex assigned at birth, address, contact information, the name of my parents,
citizenship etc. pursuant to contract under 12 b of the Philippine Data
Privacy Act (DPA) Republic Act No. 10173 | Official Gazette of the Republic
of the Philippines in order to determine whether or not I am eligible to enroll
for an undergraduate program in UP.

As for my sensitive personal information, such as information related to my

education (if I am applying for automatic admission as a first year student,

1
as a transfer student from another university, or applying for a second
degree, schools attended including senior high school, my undergraduate
degree, if any; if I am currently enrolled in another university, if all the
grades for collegiate courses I previously enrolled in are attached to my
application and my educational records, when I took GCE, SAT,
TOEFL/IELTS and the results for such exams etc); information about
whether I have been subject to academic or disciplinary sanction by my
former school; exact birthdate and age; information about my religious
affiliation; passport number, date and place of issue; my type of visa and
date of issue and effectivity as well as my ICR/ACR number date and place
of issue; it is understood that by entering into a contract with UP through
the submission of this application for admission I necessarily grant UP my
consent for the processing of my sensitive personal information pursuant to
the applicable rules and regulations that UP adopted pursuant to UPs
exercise of academic freedom for the purpose of determining whether or not
I am eligible to enroll in UP and for all other related purposes including:

(a) verifying my identity;

(b) preventing fraud;
(c) documenting consent for the processing of my personal data for
such application; and
(d) contacting me regarding my application;and
(e) determining if I have to pay an application fee
I further certify that I obtained consent from all third persons, whose
personal data are provided in my application, to allow UP to process such
information as explained in the abovementioned privacy notice and in this
certification and consent form, and agree to hold UP free and harmless
from all liabilities in connection with the processing of the personal data of
such third persons.

I further understand and agree that, at its option and sole discretion, UP may
post the results of my application in its bulletin boards pursuant to NPC

Advisory Opinion 2018-20 https://privacy.gov.ph/wp-
content/uploads/2022/01/AdOpNo.2018-020.pdf

While UP obtains my consent for the processing of my sensitive personal

information, I understand and agree that UPs processing of my personal
data in my application and any appeal thereon as well as supporting
documents that I submit is ultimately based on UPs right to exercise
academic freedom under the 1987 Constitution, the UP Charter R.A. 9500,
other applicable laws such as the Education Act of 1982 and Philippine
jurisprudence. The right to academic freedom includes the right of UP to
determine who may be admitted to study in UP. You may wish to refer to the
case of Garcia vs. Faculty Admissions Committee Loyola School of Theology
G.R. No. L-40779 November 28, 1975 68 SCRA 277 (1975) cited in
University of the Philippines vs. Arokiaswamy G.R. No. 134625. August 31,
1999 https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/1/36888 which
states:

“Wide indeed is the sphere of autonomy granted to

institutions of higher learning, for the constitutional grant of
academic freedom, to quote again from Garcia v. Faculty
Admission Committee, Loyola School of Theology, "is not to be
construed in a niggardly manner or in a grudging fashion."

Academic freedom: “is a freedom granted to "institutions

of higher learning" which is thus given "a wide sphere of authority
certainly extending to the choice of students."

I understand that UP is authorized to process my personal data for other

lawful purposes as provided under the DPA and other applicable laws
including research, processing for the purpose of exercising its right and
responsibility of academic freedom, compliance with legal obligations and
issuances of public authorities which may include disclosure of my personal
data to such public authorities (such as the UNIFAST for reimbursement of
the application processing fee), for the purpose of establishing or
defending legal claims and defenses, etc. and that therefore UP will
continue to securely store my personal data for as long as necessary in

3
order to fulfill such other legitimate purposes as allowed by the DPA and
other applicable laws.
I understand that UP stores my personal data pursuant to Sec. 11 (f) of the
DPA which states Provided, That personal information collected for other
purposes may lie processed for historical, statistical or scientific purposes,
and in cases laid down in law may be stored for longer periods: Provided,
further, That adequate safeguards are guaranteed by said laws authorizing
their processing.

I also understand that UP conducts research on stored, previously

processed, de-identified data in order to comply with its legal obligations
including its right and responsibility to exercise academic freedom under the
1987 Constitution and the UP Charter. UP as a research university must
conduct scientific research in order to produce general demographic
information and statistics regarding applicants for admission across various
time periods. Such research enables the University to assess whether its
policies, programs, as well as procedures and revisions to the same in
different years, enable the University, among others, to comply with the UP
Charter and to allow the University to provide advice and technical
assistance to public authorities such as Congress, the Commission on
Higher Education, the UniFAST Board, etc. in accordance with Sec. 7 of
the UP Charter. As stated above, before any research is conducted by UP,
so that the University will be able to comply with its ethical obligations and
uphold my right to privacy, duly authorized UP personnel will remove
identifiers from the relevant dataset such that UP’s researcher or research
teams who will perform operations on such dataset will not be able to identify
me or associate any data with me. The research results will only include
statistical data and general demographic information that does not identify
me and any other data subjects. I note that Sec. 16.C.2 of Memorandum
Circular 2023-4 issued by the National Privacy Commission provides that:

The conduct of research where the end results will be

anonymized and will only disclose the general demographic of the
research subjects does not require the consent of the data subject.

4
I have also been informed that in the event research to be done will require
the use of personal data, UP will comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations as well as the ethical guidelines issued by the Philippine Health
Research Ethics Board pursuant to the Philippine National Health Research
System Act and if so required, UP will obtain my informed consent pursuant
to such ethical guidelines for the processing of my personal data for such
research.

I am aware that the processing of personal data for my application and any
appeal thereon carries risks that may involve the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of personal data or the risk that processing will violate the privacy
principles and rights of data subjects. I understand that UP has put in place
reasonable physical (e.g. access control measures such as locks, security
personnel etc) organizational (e.g. only authorized personnel who have
signed the required non disclosure undertaking and need such personal data
to perform their functions are allowed to process such personal data, privacy
impact assessments etc) and technical measures ( use of CDN, encryption,
multifactor authentication, the conduct of vulnerability and penetration testing
and other similar measures for its sites and portals) to prevent or mitigate
such risks as stated in the abovementioned privacy notice. I understand that
such measures do not guarantee absolute protection against such risks as
when systems are subject to targeted cyberattacks, malware, ransomware,
computer viruses, etc. However, UP has also adopted measures in order to
deal with security incidents or personal data breaches in compliance with the
DPA and NPC issuances (Part 7 Security Incident or Breach Response
Procedures of the UP System Data Privacy Manual approved by the Board
of Regents CERTIFIED TRUE COPY_DATA PRIVACY MANUAL 2023

I agree that I will help keep my personal data secure by, double checking
that the email account I will be using for communicating with UP has not
been compromised by using Have I Been Pwned,using a strong password
for such account

nts.pdf, when possible activating two factor authentication for the same, not
using public, unsecured networks for submitting my personal data or at least
using VPN if I use such unsecured networks and keeping my account
credentials confidential.
I have been made aware through this certification and consent form about
my rights as a data subject to information, access, the right to object to the
processing of my personal data, deletion, to lodge a complaint with the
National Privacy Commission for the violation of my data privacy rights
provided that I first exhaust administrative remedies by filing a request with
the proper offices or a complaint with the proper DPO through the email
address indicated below regarding the processing of my personal data or
the handling of my requests for access, correction, blocking of the
processing of my personal data and the like and the right to receive
damages for such violations pursuant to a valid order of the proper public
authority.
I also recognize that while I have the right to correct my personal data, it is
my duty to keep my personal data as well as that of relevant third parties
updated, to follow the instructions contained in the relevant UP site
regarding the manner by which I can correct or update my or third party
personal data within the deadline set for the processing of applications as
well as appeals.
I understand and agree that if I wish to withdraw consent for the processing
of my application that I must write or send an email to the proper UP
Registrar’s Office at our.diliman@up.edu.ph.
I understand and agree that sending an email to the proper Office of the
University Registrar is the most convenient means for me to withdraw such
consent. I will attach a copy of my UP ID (or a valid government issued ID
card ) to such letter or email, so that UP will be able to verify my identity. I
also understand that such withdrawal of consent will mean that UP will not
be able to process my admission and will not affect any other processing
which UP has to perform in order to exercise its academic freedom or comply

6
with other legal obligations including the duty to disclose information required
by public authorities etc i.e. Republic Act No. 11332 | Official Gazette of the
Republic of the Philippines or any such other processing allowed by the
DPA and other applicable laws.
I am aware that if I should have any data privacy concerns or questions that
I may contact the Data Protection Officer of the relevant campus as follows:
