Change in pre-registration procedure with no pre-registration survey (Memo No. AGSB-DO-2526-014)

AGSB-DO-2526-014
06 September 2025

To start in the coming school year 2025-2026, the pre-registration procedure will change.

Previously, we followed a three-step procedure:

1. Pre-registration survey

2. Pre-registration

3. Registration

We will no longer run a pre-registration survey. Thus, there will be only two steps:

1. Pre-registration

2. Registration

The pre-registration survey was intended to give us information on the demand for classes. We will no longer run this survey because:

▸The survey response rate was always low.

▸The pre-registration results did not match the survey results.

▸Those who answered the survey said it had no practical benefit to them.

To summarize the new procedure, from the students’ point of view:

▸You no longer need to answer a pre-registration survey.

▸The course offerings become more stable and predictable.

▸You will have more choices of electives. Instead of a few electives being offered, all will be offered, and we will determine demand from the pre-registration results.  

▸You can still petition for a course; if enough petition, there could be a section created.

▸Other than removing the pre-registration survey, nothing else will change.

Watch out for the enrollment memo from the Registrar’s Office, to be released before the pre-registration. This will contain the initial course offerings.

Please be guided accordingly.
