Alternative Classes

International Students who need to change their FILKOMU (Komunikasyon sa Filipinolohiya) to BASIFI (Basic Filipino for Foreigners and Non-Filipino Speakers)  have to follow a step-by-step procedure. However, it is important to remember that only those who are enrolled in FILKOMU and/or KASPIL may enrol in the alternative class. The international student is also required to attend FILKOMU or KASPIL class on the first day.

Advising Service

International students (IS) may visit the International Center (IC) for advising and consultation on matters that require immediate attention.  The IS Advisor may refer the IS to concerned offices on campus for issues and concerns that are beyond the authority and capacity of the attending IS Advisor.

Issues and concerns that may require consultation with the IS Advisor

IS may seek advice from the IS Advisor regarding the following concerns:

1. Concerns about visa and legal requirements for study, such conversion from one visa type to another, visa extension, validity and coverage of Special Study Permit for IS below 18 years old, downgrading to tourist visa, and other visa-related matters.
2. Issues on adjustment to college life (academics and otherwise, social and emotional concerns, and the like).
3. Personal problems.
4. Organizational concerns particularly integration to the university (issues on university policies, rules and regulations related to international students).
5. Other matters that affect the smooth transition and integration of international students to university and campus life.

Advising Procedure

IS are encouraged to schedule an appointment for quick advising with the IS Advisor. If the IS concern/s can be addressed or discussed with the IS Advisor in not more than 15 minutes, then the IS Advisor can immediately attend to the IS for quick advising. However, if the concern needs more time to discuss, the IS Advisor will ask the student to set for an appointment.  

Additional Reminders

During the scheduled session for advising, IS should bring a photocopy of their Enrolment Assessment Form (EAF), photocopy of their passport and ACR I-Card, and other documents that the IS believe may help the IS Advisor in understanding the nature of their problems or concern.

Below is the schedule of IS Advising for the current term:
