Q: What if I no longer have my SHS ID due to various circumstances?

A: You may provide/present any valid ID (e.g. TIN ID, philhealth ID, brgy. ID…) since it will only be used for verification purposes.

Q: I was a VSU CAT qualifier last year, do I still have to take the 2021 CAT?

A: Qualifiers of the VSUCAT 2020 but failed to enroll during the school year 2020-2021 for valid reasons shall still be eligible as qualifiers for SY 2021-2022. However, this policy only applies to the specified school year to accommodate students’ request for deferment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Two conditions of deferment that should be met prior for online admission:

  • The student sends a letter of deferment of his/her enrollment to the Office of the Head of Admission specifying the reasons for failure to enroll during the school year where he/she is a qualifier.
  • The student has not enrolled in any college/university course prior to admission to VSU.
Q: Can I present my diploma instead of providing the certification that I’m already a SHS graduate?

A: No, we do not need your diploma. You can present your grade 12 GPA so that we can verify that you’re already a SHS graduate.

Q: What if I have lacking documents?

A: Unfortunately, we cannot process your application. Our Admission app is designed to only proceed if you have uploaded the documents required.

Q: Is it possible to file my application using a mobile device?

A: Yes, you can file your admission application form using a phone, tablet, or computer. However, during the actual test, you must use a laptop or a personal computer with a functional camera and microphone.
