An admitted undergraduate transfer student must validate all subjects he is offering for advanced credits at the rate of at least 18 units a semester from the date of his admission. His admission will be on a probationary basis until he shall have validated or repeated, in accordance with this rule on validation of courses, all subjects taken outside UP which are required for his program, The student will not be allowed to enroll in a subject the prerequisites of which, taken elsewhere, have not yet been validated, or repeated, as the case may be.

Application for advanced credit should be made on the prescribed form to the Dean of the college where he has been admitted. Validating tests begin two weeks before the first day of registration. There is no fee for validating tests during this period. A validating test may be held outside of this period with the consent of the department and approval of the Dean and upon payment of a required fee per subject.

A student transferring from any recognized institution who possesses an Associate in Arts or its equivalent of 66 units or work may be enrolled without validation. Before a student is allowed to major in any discipline, however, the major discipline may prescribe additional courses up to 18 units of general education courses and/or preparatory courses for the major.

The grant of advanced credits for courses which are completed in other institutions but which have no equivalent in this University, shall be left to the faculty of the unit concerned.

Advanced standing may also be granted by the University Registrar to students who graduated from an institution recognized by the University Council for subjects listed in the course or course duly recognized. Advanced credit for work constituting only part of courses recognized by the Council shall be awarded by the department or division concerned in accordance with the above provisions on application for advanced credits.
