Academic Eligibilities and Accountabilities: Students who have unsettled academic delinquencies are not allowed to enlist additional classes, have their enlistment locked, and proceed to payment. Academic delinquencies must be settled first before you can proceed with your registration. Students with accountabilities may still enlist additional classes and lock/validate their enlistment; however, they cannot be assessed until they settle their accountabilities. To find out how to settle your academic delinquencies and/or accountabilities, contact the office(s) indicated in the “To be settled at” column in your delinquencies tab. The CRS Team has no authority to lift delinquencies and/or accountabilities. Please contact directly the unit(s)/office(s) that tagged you as delinquent and/or accountable to settle such delinquencies/accountabilities.-UP Computerized Registration System (upd.edu.ph)
