III. GENERAL GUIDELINES ON ADMISSIONS

With a solid reputation in providing quality education, West Visayas State University (WVSU) upholds a democratized admissions policy as a strategy to make the admissions process more inclusive and equitable. It provides opportunities for a wider range of students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to access higher education, in accordance with RA No. 10931 (Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act). To support this direction, the WVSU system allocates 10% of the total entrants’ slots to the marginalized sectors of society, provided they meet the minimum admission requirements for the program to which they apply.

Screening and Admission Process:

1. The West Visayas State University Admission Examination (WVSU AE) is open to all Senior High School graduates or graduating students from DepEd-accredited local and foreign schools.
2. WVSU advocates open access and equity to all applicants. No qualified students shall be denied admission to the University’s academic programs by reason of age, sex, ethnic considerations, or religious beliefs or affiliations (Article 125, Section 1, University Code 2013).
3. An applicant for admission to a degree program must comply with all the documentary requirements for admission prescribed by the University.
4. Transfer students may be admitted to the University except for colleges that have special provisions for transferees (Article 136, Section 1, University Code 2013). Some Colleges/Campuses may accept transferees depending on the applicant’s scholastic merits (no failing grade, no incomplete or dropped courses, and no grade lower than 85 or its equivalent) and on available slots as determined by the Deans/Campus Administrators. 
5. Applicants can choose three (3) Priority Programs/Specializations. The first priority will be considered in determining the qualifiers for college admission. However, applicants are asked to provide their second and third choices as additional data and may be considered if the quota is not reached in the initial ranking.
6. The Colleges and Campuses shall determine the actual number of students to be enrolled in each program and the projected number or quota of students that they can accommodate for local selection (Article 125, Section 2, University Code 2013).
7. Eligible applicants will proceed to the College/School selection process and satisfy other requirements.
8. The Colleges and Campuses shall follow the Standard Operations Instructions (SOI) of their local admissions.
9. The Offices of the Registrar at the Main and Satellite Campuses shall:
   1. serve as the authorized units to accept all applications and all documentary requirements related to admission;
   2. release the WVSU AE results to applicants, colleges, and schools in campuses;
   3. coordinate with colleges and schools to synchronize the schedules of local selection; and
   4. gather final lists of qualified applicants for enrolment.
10. All applications shall be made through the WVSU Online Application Module. Required documents will be uploaded to the Integrated University Information System (IUIS) portal.
