The OAdms had presented five options for UP admissions to the eight UCs, the System Academic Affairs Committee, University Executive Committee, and the PresidentвЂ™s Advisory Council even while it was simultaneously taking stock of the availability of the UPCAT testing centers and the volunteer testing personnel in the event the UC decided to administer UPCAT 2021. This includes the use of big data analytics to arrive at a UP admission score model, which the OAdms, together with other concerned offices, is currently developing, as well as the determination by academic units of an additional layer of screening for particular programs, if deemed necessary. The BOR also instructed the OAdms to come up with a modified freshmen admissions system specific to AY 2021-2022 by February 2021 in light of the pandemic. The BOR, for its part, noted during its October 29 meeting the report presented by the Office of Admissions (OAdms) and the OVPAA, as well as the choice of all University Councils in the UP System to forego administering the UPCAT for AY 2021-2022.

The UCs are vested with the power to вЂњfix the requirements for admission to any college or unit, graduation and grant of honors subject to minimum system-wide requirements,вЂќ according to Sections 16 and 17 of Republic Act 9500 or the UP Charter of 2008.ДЇor this reason, proposed changes in the universityвЂ™s admission policy must be approved by the University Council of each UP constituent university, which consists of the chancellor as chairperson and all faculty members holding the rank of assistant professor and higher as members.
