Are you ready to become a Fatimanian?
Kahit na gaano pa karami ang mga changes brought by the pandemic, tuloy pa rin ang college life mo! If you’re planning to study at Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) this coming school year, para sa’yo ang guide na ito.
We listed down all the important things you need to know for your enrollment as well as some common questions you might ask. Before you know it, you’re already enrolled and ready to jumpstart your journey at OLFU. Let’s get started!
Where do I begin my OLFU college application?
You have two options for your college application! Pwede ka mag walk-in sa OLFU campus or do it all online. Hopefully, as is highly recommended by the University, you choose the latter and apply from the comforts of your own home. With our current situation, online application is the best option. Safety first!
Sa sobrang dali mag-apply sa OLFU via online, you can do it in these three easy steps:
- Sagutan ang online application form
- At this point of the application, wala ka pang kailangang ibigay na documents and other requirements. Just enter your valid email address to get started and completely fill out the form! Aside from basic personal information, ilalagay mo rin dito kung saang OLFU campus mo gusto mag-apply and your preferred college program. You can answer this in 10 minutes or less!
Not yet decided on what course to take? Check out your options, options, options with this helpful table of OLFU’s program offerings across all campuses!
- Hintayin ang confirmation email from the OLFU Admissions Office
- The confirmation email lets you know that your online application has been received by the Admissions Team of your chosen campus. Makikita mo rin sa confirmation email ang iyong applicant reference number at ang mga next steps na kailangan mong gawin to settle your payment.
If you need help regarding online payment, keep calm and contact your Admissions Team! They should be able to guide you through the process.
- Pay your enrollment fees online
- Complete your college application by paying your enrollment fees. For incoming college freshmen, the minimum required fees include an application fee (PHP 500) and a minimum down payment (PHP 1,500). Don’t worry! Mababawas naman sa total tuition assessment mo ang ibabayad mong down payment.
Note: These initial fees are applicable to non-maritime college programs. Kung interested ka sa maritime program, the application fee is PHP 900. The minimum down payment is still PHP 1,500. Learn more about the updated OLFU school fees.
For a safer and more convenient payment transaction, pwede kang magbayad online via Dragonpay online banking or through any of its other partner channels. For more information, check out this comprehensive payment options guide.
Some important reminders:
- Make sure to have enough balance in your account to cover your payable amount and service charge (if any) para maiwasan ang payment errors.
- Take note of your applicant number! Ito ang magiging reference number mo for all transactions habang wala ka pang official student number.
- Don’t forget to email a copy of your payment receipt with name and applicant number to the Admissions Team para ma-enlist ka nila sa AIMS aka OLFU’s student portal!
Until when can I apply at OLFU?
The application period is currently ongoing! We suggest you apply the soonest since limited lang ang slots na available, especially for the different OLFU campuses and college programs! After all, kayang kaya mo naman gawin ang buong admission process online.
