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.
