Step 1: Senior high schools who have not created an account to confirm their Grade 11 students last April to June 2024 should click on the ‘Sign Up Here’ button. Use the school's official email address registered in the UP Office of Admissions’ database to sign up for a new account. Create a password for the UPCAT 2025 portal. Please note that accounts used in previous UPCA/T cycles are NO longer valid.

For senior high schools who have created an account last April to June 2024 to confirm their Grade 11 students, please proceed to Step 3.

Step 2: Activate your school’s new account by clicking on the activation link that will be sent to your school’s email address. If you do not receive the email in the main inbox, check your Spam and other folders as it might have been directed there.

Step 3: Input the credentials you used during sign up and click on the ‘Log In’ button. Check your school’s email account for the login code. Keep the UPCAT Form 2A portal page open, do not refresh it. Copy the code from the email and paste it into the designated field in the portal, then click the ‘Submit Code’ button.

Step 4: Click on the ‘Update Profile’ button and input the needed school information. Triple-check all details before clicking on the ‘Submit Profile’ button. The school’s authorized representatives and their corresponding signature will also need to be uploaded for verification against the hard copy of grades that will be received by the office.

For each applicant, click on the ID photo to select ‘Yes’ if they are a student or a graduate of your school and ‘No’ if otherwise. You can use the search filters to sort through applicants who have not yet been verified. Please exercise caution when confirming or removing applicants, as these actions cannot be reversed.
