VSU TOLOSA

Enrollment Procedure

Continuing Students

Reminder: If you have not yet evaluated your course instructors, the C1 (CumulusOne for Tolosa) forces all enrolling students to evaluate their instructors from the previous semester. The Teaching Performance Evaluation for Students (TPES) is found in your MyVSU Tolosa Student Portal: https://my-tolosa.vsu.edu.ph/auth/login. 

1. Communicate with your academic adviser for pre-enrollment advising. Check the link for your block schedule: https://tinyurl.com/1stSemBlockSched  
2. Once you have your courses and offering numbers to enroll with, go to MyVSU Tolosa Student Portal at https://my-tolosa.vsu.edu.ph/auth/login
3. Update your student information (email address, contact number, and present address) in the User Profile Tab by clicking on the Edit button. 
4. Once done, proceed to the Enrollment Tab. 
   • Enter your non-dorm address/present address.
   • Choose your preferred mode of instruction (online or printed). We advise you to select “Online”. For this semester, all classes are online but the submission of academic requirements are in a flexible manner. 
   • Answer the connectivity survey.
   • Once you answered all surveys, click the hollow square at the reCaptcha verification. If verified, a “check” mark will appear and the “enroll” button will turn from light green to dark green. Then, click the “enroll” button. 
5. You are now in the enroll/registration section. Change the sorting option from “All” to “Block”  and enter the block number assigned to you to search for the courses you need to enroll in.

1. Click on the courses to enroll one at a time. Once all courses you intend to enroll in are highlighted, click the “Add’ button. Check on the total number of units enrolled for any discrepancy. 
   • If you have a course with LEC-LAB units, make sure to add one (1) lecture course and one (1) laboratory course. (e.g. Zool 11 is a 5-unit course, with 3 lecture units and 2 laboratory units. Choose one offering number of Zool 11 with LEC course type, and one offering number of the same with LAB course type). 

1. Once all courses to be enrolled have been added, your enrollment is now pending for review/validation and approval of your academic adviser. Allow them to validate your enrollment for 1-2 days.
   • CAUTION: NEVER click the “Withdraw” button if you do not intend to backout from your enrollment.
   • During the period of review/validation, keep yourself available online because there may be changes in your enrollment due to duplication, unfollowed block schedules, etc.
   • Merely adding your courses to the portal is not an assurance that you are officially enrolled. 
2. Once validated and approved, a system-generated Temporary Certificate of Registration (T-COR) will be sent to your registered email and shall serve as your proof of enrollment. 
   • Your action as enrollee/student ends here.
3. Your academic adviser will print the Registration Form (RF), sign it, and forward it to the department clerk for consolidation, which will then be forwarded to the course in-charge at the Office of the Registrar for verification and printing of the COR. Validated CORs will be kept in the Student’s Permanent Record for future reference.
   • A request for the 1st copy validated COR may be made upon request of the student concerned free of charge. A second copy may entail applicable fees. 

Returning Students

Requirements for Readmission (based on the Student Handbook)

• Leave of Absence (LOA; if returnee has not yet filed)

• Letter of Readmission addressed to the Registrar stating the reason/s for the leave of absence.
• Duly signed general clearance
• Medical certificate from government physician

1. Contact your academic adviser for appropriate advising OR email your department about your readmission, with a subject line RETURNEE_Last Name, First Name_Student Number:

    • If yes, the student has retained his slot in the university and must be given readmission.
    • If no, he may not be granted readmission as stipulated in the Student Handbook (p. 17). Although the handbook and its provisions have been in effect since 23 June 2016, the Office of the Registrar shall give a moratorium of 1 semester (starting 1st semester, AY 2021-2022) to allow returning students to apply for readmission without LOA. Within this period, proper information dissemination to all students must be made. 
  • Have you processed your readmission form and general clearance for signatures?

1. Ask the returning student to file and process their readmission documents, as previously stipulated. An assigned messenger will be the one to roam around the concerned office to request for signatures and process other matters related to readmission. An email receipt must be sent to the returning student, as well as a carbon copy (cc) to the academic adviser and program coordinator, as proof that his readmission documents have been processed and approved.  
2. Once done, follow the enrollment procedure for continuing students from Step 1 to 9.
