SPECIAL NOTICE TO SCHOOLS WITH GRADUATING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS

The 2018 University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT) is scheduled on October 21-22, 2017 in different
testing centers nationwide. This conflicts with our NSC Registration and Academic Events days.

We advise you to plan ahead and register your students early for the UPCAT so that you can make the necessary adjustments to
your choice of academic contestants. We could excuse them from the Saturday registration and appearance check by scheduling a
convenient time for them to do these.

If your school is outside of Metro Manila, especially those requiring sea and air travel, we recommend that you choose the
Diliman Campus as the testing center for your students.

For these students, exhibits may be submitted Monday, October 23, from 8:00 – 10:00 A.M. ONLY; certificate from
School Head that UPCAT was taken Sunday, October 22 is required.
