Can a student change their preferred schedule after one semester?

For SHS: Students cannot change their schedule after the first semester. 

For College: Students are only in blocked sections during the first term. For the 2nd term onwards, students are free to choose their own schedule.  

Can a student shift to another pathway or program after one semester?

For SHS: Yes, the students can shift to another Academic Pathway after one semester. Upon shifting, students must accomplish all specialized courses necessary for the new Pathway. However, the University does not guarantee that shifters will finish within the 2-year Senior High School period, as the availability and number of courses to be enrolled per semester (including summer) will be considered. 

For College: A student may apply to shift to another program provided he or she meets all the requirements of the accepting program. For more information, please check the Academic Handbook.
