College admissions now open

The application period for first-year college and transfer students for entry in SY 2026-2027 is now open.

The entire application process will be done online, via the Ateneo College application portal apply.ateneo.edu. Deadline for application submissions for first-year entry is on 19 September 2025.

This year's Ateneo College Entrance Test will be administered on several dates in October, at Ateneo de Manila’s campus in Quezon City and at multiple locations across the Philippines.

As we anticipate a surge of applications, here are some important tips and reminders.

  1. Read up on qualifications for first-year and transfer entry, degree program options, and basic application requirements at apply.ateneo.edu.
    1. You will be completing your application entirely ONLINE, at the application portal.
    2. Since the application process will be entirely online, you must submit the requirements in digital format (PDF preferably). PRINTED/HARD COPIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
  2. Identify your potential degree program choices.
  3. Identify or list down who you might ask for a recommendation, such as your guidance counselor or a teacher who knows you and your work best.
  4. Begin organizing your thoughts for your application essay, which is an important part of your application. In the essay, expound on at least one significant experience or accomplishment that has helped define you as a person.
