Q: If I don’t have yet my original High School Report Card (Form 138) for the Advance Registration, can I still enroll?
A: Yes, you can enroll. But note that your admission is provisional pending submission of the original High School Report Card or Form 138 bearing the signature of your principal and the remark: “Graduated and eligible for admission to college”.
This applies to FORM 137 as well.
Added Note:
In UP, we call subjects “courses”, and we call courses “degree programs”, or “program” for short.
You would hear an Iskolar say, “My program is BS Biology and I am taking the General Education course, Ethics 1, this First Semester”.
