UP Diliman offers mid-year term: June4-July8 classes credited as regular units (like a summer term)
*** *** ***
U.P. Diliman is offering a June4-July8 mid-year term starting this June. This is like an extra summer term but it’s called a mid-year term. In simpler terms, students who want to earn extra credit units (academic units that will be credited as regular units) can enrol in regular subjects in colleges that are able to offer the subjects.
That means students who are delayed can make up for it and enrol for the June4-July8 classes, or students who want to “advance” can take up courses they need by enlisting this term, or students who want to have more time for their thesis later on can use this offering so they would have less units to take in their last semester, and have less distraction and more time for their thesis.
Students who want to enroll in Media Law, Media Ethics, and other courses, may go to the Department and enlist with Raquel. There is a schedule for Media Law at 2pm to 4pm, and for Media Ethics at 4pm to 6pm.
Classes for this mid-year term start June 4 and end on July 8. Because the term is for about a month (June4 to July8), class meetings are daily (like a summer term), two hours each subject.
(because it’s new, the enlistment is manual, the courses are posted though in the U.P. CRS (computerized registration system).
There’s a Sept. 30 deadline for feedback on this so I need to post it:
Proposed academic calendar from the UP Office of the President to start 2014:

(quotation marks, mine.)
The memo of the Office of the Chancellor is requesting for feedback with a deadline of Sept. 30, 2013 (the memo attached the proposal and the study which included data on academic calendars worldwide, average number of typhoons for March-July; and other academic, economic, geographic, sociological data. You may, at your option, post your feedback here. You may click “comment” and give your opinion and it will be forwarded to the Office of the Chancellor. Thanks.)
