Since all the undergraduate students of University of the Philippines, Open University are required to have eight units of Physical Education courses, one should cross-register himself or herself on another college/university. In this guide, I will be listing the steps on how one should cross-register himself or herself at UP Diliman for a PE class. I assume that you are an Associate in Arts student or a Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia Studies student.
- Go to the UPOU website and download the “Permit to Cross Register” form under the forms section of the site. Fill-up the necessary information. One PE course is equivalent to two (2) units.
- After filling up the “Permit to Cross Register”, visit your Learning Center and submit the permit to them for the dean and registrar to affix their signatures. Wait for one to two weeks before picking up your “Permit to Cross Register”. When you have picked up the “Permit to Cross Register”, be sure that the dean and the registrar of UP Open University have affixed their signatures.
- Go to the new Office of the University Registrar Building of UP Diliman. Upon arriving at the building, go to the second floor and enter the office of the University Registrar. Give your “Permit to Cross Register” to the secretary. Wait for a few minutes for the Registrar to affix her signature.
- Proceed to the Admission and Registration Section located on the first floor. Get a number near the entrance for the Admission Section. While waiting for your number to be called, get two copies of the Student Directory near the windows and fill them up.
- When called at the Admission Window, present your PCR (Permit to Cross Register) and the two copies of your Student Directory. Get a seat again and wait for your name to be called.
- When your name is called, go back to the window again for your Form 5A. This is the time that you will pre-enlist your PE subject. If you have a friend / relative who is knowledgeable about the location of buildings in UP Diliman, it would be best to ask them to accompany you. If not, then you could always ask the students or the UP IKOT or UP TOKI jeepney drivers.
- Go to the College of Human Kinetics, Gymnasium to check on the available PE subjects. You could choose any PE subject (except those with prerequisite) that suits your schedule. However, if you are a first year student PE I would be best. If you have chosen your PE subject, copy the details posted on the blackboard to your Form 5A.
- Submit your Form 5A to the student assistant for validation (still at the CHK Gym). Wait for your Form 5A.
- When you have your Form 5A validated, proceed to the Office of Admissions Bldg again and ask for a Form 5 from where you get your number in step 4. Fill-up the Form 5 properly. After that, proceed to ARS-Admission and submit your Form 5A and Form 5. Wait for your name to be called.
- When you receive your Form 5, get a number again for the Assessment window. Wait for your number to be called. When you’re called, present your Form 5, inform them that you’re a cross-registrant from UPOU, and present your UPOU Form 5 so that your miscellaneous fee could be waived. Wait for your name to be called.
- When you are called, check if you need to pay something. Payments are done at the 3rd floor of the OUR Bldg. If none, then you’re all done!
Please take note that this is based from my experience. Also, take note that you could only cross-register on the specified dates by the university. Enjoy your UP life!
