  2. Clarifiying matters related to UP policies that have been mentioned in media: • On the issue of “forced” leave of absence: • There is no “Forced” LOA • LOA is filed by students who are not officially enrolled for various reasons (health, family, migration, financial, etc) which will facilitate their enrolment for the next semester • This is not a penalty but a solution so that they can continuously be enrolled as a UP Student

Clarifiying matters related to UP policies that have been mentioned in media: • On the “No late payment” policy: • Article 330 of the University Code “no person who has not duly matriculated may be admitted to classes” • This is a means to put order, uniformity and equality among all students • UP extends help for students who cannot comply with this rule • extension of payment • financial assistance • loans • Application for STFAP

  4. Clarifiying matters related to UP policies that have been mentioned in media: • On the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program (STFAP)Procedure • STFAP is a program that enables poor students to study in UP without having to pay full tuition fees and even receive monthly stipend depending on their bracket • STFAP is a dynamic mechanism to respond the students’ financial needs • The process allows for a re-bracketing depending on the most current financial status of the students’ family • In order to ensure that the bracket is accurate and fair to all UP students, there are standard requirements that students have to comply with • Explain Bracket A-E

  5. *The STFAP brackets are primarily based on the annual family income and have corresponding fees or benefits.

  25. Final Statements • We do not wish to give anyone a difficult time. We dream for them as they aspire for their future. As administrators, we are not enemies. I would like to consider myself as a surrogate parent to our students, faculty, and staff. We do not wish to pose obstacles in realizing their dreams. In fact, we wish even bigger dreams for them. We always want to work with our students because we were once like them.

  26. We pay homage to KristelTejada. You will always be remembered.
