Transfer credential required for UPOU PTC?
Hi everyone! I’d really appreciate your advice.
I applied for the PTC program at UPOU. However, I only submitted the TOR for my bachelor’s degree and did not include the TOR from my previous master’s program, which I did not complete. Both my bachelor’s degree and incomplete master’s degree are from the same university in the Philippines.
On top of that, I also completed a master’s degree abroad, but I did not declare it either because obtaining the academic records would take time, and the documents also need to be apostilled.
My application status has now been updated to: “Your application is now for final evaluation by the Program’s Admission Committee,” and I have already completed the DERM.
I am now wondering if this could cause any issues later on. Should I still submit the TOR for my incomplete master’s degree and the academic records for my completed master’s degree abroad, even though they weren’t included in my original application? Also, the application form generated through the OAS doesn’t reflect either of these master’s degrees because I didn’t declare them.
The reason I didn’t include them was that I’m currently living abroad, and I was concerned that requesting the documents would significantly delay my PTC application.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows how UPOU usually handles this? Would you recommend informing the Admissions Office now, or should I wait for the result of the final evaluation?
Thank you so much for your insights!
