How does the UNC Online Enrollment work?

Now that you have an idea of what requirements to prepare, it’s time to know what you can expect once you click on the ‘Apply Now!’ button on the UNC website. Isipin mo yung typical on-site enrollment experience mo sa campus but make it online and without the long lines, countless application forms, and payment cut-offs. Galing, diba?

Here’s your UNC online enrollment process in five simple steps:

Step 1: Fill out the online application form

Get started by completely filling out the online application form. Makikita mo ito when you go to the official UNC website, click ‘Join UNC’ from the main tabs, and choose the ‘Freshmen/Readmission/Transferees’ from the dropdown menu. Or you can simply scroll through the front page and click on the ‘Apply Now!’ button.

Some important reminders:

• At this point of the application, you’ll only be asked basic questions about your student information, previous school, and some family information. That’s it!
• Once you submit the form, a pre-registration number will be sent to your email address. Take note of this since gagamitin mo ito sa buong enrollment process.
• Once your application has been approved via email, pwede ka nang magbayad ng optional reservation fee to secure your enrollment slot. In the same email, you’ll be redirected to the UNC online enrollment system (OES) page para kumpletuhin ang online enrollment mo. This is where you can do Steps 2 to 5!

Step 2: Choose subjects

Once you’re done with Step 1, your enrollment process gets a whole lot easier. Kung incoming freshman, first-year transferee or re-enrollee ka, pwede ka nang pumili ng mga subjects na gusto mong kunin based on the available course offerings. Take note that only subjects available for your block will appear!

Step 3: Reserve classes

Not sure yet with your final subject lineup for the sem? Okay lang yan. Reserve mo muna… but not for too long. According to UNC policy, meron kang at least 3 days to keep your reserved schedules and finalize your classes. Do it asap!

Step 4: Pay your fees

After finalizing your list of classes, pwede ka nang magbayad ng matriculation fees mo. UNC makes this step easy, safe, and convenient with a wide range of payment options to choose from! Bukod sa pagbabayad onsite sa teller’s office, you can also try:

• ECPay
• GCash
• BPI Online
• Bayad Center
• Bank transfers (China Bank, Metrobank, BDO, BPI, RCBC)

Pro-tip: The school recommends paying via ECPay since pwede mo itong magamit directly sa enrollment confirmation page. Less extra steps, more seamless experience!

Step 5: Secure printout

When you’re all set and done with payment and final class schedule for the sem, pwede mo nang makuha ang Certificate of Matriculation mo from the UNC OES portal. Just select the ‘Printout’ tab and then click the ‘Secure Official Printout’ button. This paper officially makes you an enrolled UNC student for 1st sem, S.Y. 2021-2022. Congrats!
