When you pass the UPCAT and you chose the program, you already have the option to enroll into this program. Just make sure that you complete all your requirements when you visit the University on your scheduled enrollment day.

II. Shifting Students

If you are already a UP Student enrolled in the UPDiliman campus, you may apply to shift into the BS Clothing Technology program. In order to do so, you must fulfill the following:

1. You have to make sure that you have incurred the minimum number of units that will allow you to shift into the BS Clothing Technology program.
2. Your General Weighted Average (GWA) should be high enough since you are competing with a lot of UP students from UPDiliman who would also like to shift into the BS Clothing Technology Program.

4. You must take the Talent Test given by the CTID

You may not do well in one of the first two stages, but if they see at the interview your dedication to the and how much you want this course, they may consider you to be included in the list of applicants who will be given slots into the program.
