U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas!

From peyups.com


It all seems fun and exciting right now, practicing the cheers that the UP Pep Squad taught us earlier today. I barely know what I'm getting myself into though, so let's see how long this enthusiasm will last.

UP Diliman map & jeepney routes

This is VERY helpful, WEE. :D
(Forgive the disregard for borders)




Edit in, May 30, 2013: I won't be using this blog anymore, so if you have any questions/want to get in touch with me, you can do so through my Tumblr.
Also, I'm not so sure about the route of the Toki along the upper right area of the map. Recent development in the Science Complex has probably caused the route to be modified already. :)

UP Diliman CRS Freshman Pre-enlistment (long title)

I am creating this blog post about the UP Diliman Freshman Pre-enlistment process because I would like to do my part and contribute to the world we live in. ;)


This brings me back to one of my reasons for creating a blog (aside from BOREDOM), which are the several other blogs I have read regarding life in "Peyups". They were VERY helpful (although I couldn't find the answer to one of my questions. That's why I will be discussing it later on.). :-bd


First, I would like to share my first semester schedule for AY 2011-2012 (I'm taking Business Economics, btw):


I got all my first choices, but its acquisition (I believe) required HOURS of double-checking schedules and back-up schedules to their back-ups schedules (As much as possible, I got the ones with the least demand), right down to the last day of pre-enlistment. So that's one tip, I suppose.
(If these don't make sense to you, I suggest that you read other blogs about pre-enlistment. I will not be explaining the whole process, hihi.)


Now for my question that was left unanswered until I found out about it myself:
When will the results of the pre-enlistment be released? Is it after pre-enlistment ends, or will we have to wait until the actual [early] registration/enrollment (It's the same thing, I think)?
The answer to that, my friend, is that they are supposed to release it the day after pre-enlistment ends (A detail I overlooked in the attachments that UP gave). Since the CRS has developed quite a reputation of being late, our schedule was released three days after the end of pre-enlistment.


Another set of details that I failed to see in other blogs:
BLOCKS.
A block section only covers your required/major subjects (which you will take with your coursemates). It does not cover your GE (general electives); that's why they're called electives.
In my case then, Econ 11 and Math 17 were my required subjects, hence the 'Block E-4' (I will take those subjects with my coursemates who got the same block). Geol, Eng and Socio were my other GEs (which I picked myself, one by one), and it is possible that I will be taking these subjects with non-coursemates (maybe even students from different years).
In the process of pre-enlistment, you will first be asked to pick a block (I'm not sure if this is for freshmen only), and THEN your other GEs. Also, not all subjects are available for the picking, depending on your year(?) and course (For example, I couldn't pick Philo 1, but some of my freshman friends were able to).


I hope this helps. XD
