UP's Academic Calendar to Shift in 2014-2015

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There is a proposal to shift the University of the Philippines' academic calendar starting in academic year 2014-15 in the following constituent units (CUs): UP Los Baños, UP Manila, UP Visayas, UP Open University, UP Mindanao, UP Baguio, and UP Cebu.

These seven CUs have already obtained the agreement of their constituents for the calendar change and have prepared their respective 2014-15 academic calendars that all start in August 2014. They are now seeking approval by the Board of Regents of their proposed new calendars.

UP Diliman, which accounts for about 45% of the University's students and faculty, is still going through the process of assessing the pros and cons of the calendar shift and ascertaining the general preference of its constituents.

The academic calendar will be shifted by two months as follows:

FIRST SEMESTER: FROM Jun – Oct TO Aug – Dec
SECOND SEMESTER: FROM Nov – Apr TO Jan – May
SHORT TERM: FROM May – Jun TO Jun – Jul
