UPOnline offers students multiple start dates throughout the year, with some programmes following five intakes and others six, giving you the flexibility to begin your studies when it suits you best. See the important intake dates below.
Five Intake Dates | Six Intake Dates
Take note of the following:
Application Deadlines:
The application deadline is two weeks before the module’s start date. Applications submitted after this deadline will be considered for the next intake.
Registration Period:
Registration opens four weeks before the session begins and closes one day prior to the module start date.
Payment Deadlines:
- Tuition fees are structured into equal payments per module, payable upon registration. The payment deadline is the module start date.
- Failure to make a payment or upload proof of payment (POP) via the UP Student Portal within five days of the module’s start date will revoke access to Blackboard/clickUP.
- Students who have not met the payment requirement by day 11 after the module starts will be deregistered. No exceptions will be made.
Start Dates:
The start date is the day your module commences. UPOnline modules are offered multiple times per year, depending on the programme.
Some programmes follow a SIX-intake schedule, while others follow a FIVE-intake schedule. You can view the specific start dates for your programme on the programme information page, or these can be provided upon request.
Deregistration:
Without exception, students who do not meet payment deadlines will be deregistered on day 11 after the module’s start date.
The last day to voluntarily deregister from the module is the last day on which the student can request deregistration; however, the student forfeits the tuition, and this counts as an attempt on the module.
Module Duration:
Modules are offered in eight-week intervals. Short modules consist of seven weeks of teaching and one week of recess. Long modules span 16 weeks, with 14 weeks of teaching and two weeks of recess. A year-long module typically consists of six blocks, each with seven weeks of teaching and one week of recess in between.
General Information:
Students must register for each module by the registration deadline and adhere to the payment and participation requirements until the programme is completed.
