First of all, congratulations and welcome to the Department of Geodetic Engineering!

The Department of Geodetic Engineering is the country’s leading institution in geospatial education, research, training, and extension.

The Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee (UStAC) created this Welcome Kit to provide details about the Department and guide you into the family. This kit contains a brief introduction of the Department and its faculty, your curriculum checklists and flowcharts, the DGE AFR process, and important links.

On behalf of the UP Department of Geodetic Engineering, maligayang pagdating! Culture and heritage are sources of great pride for the DGE, and I would like to share some principles and values that the Department upholds to set the tone for your stay.

Don't be afraid to learn, and unlearn! Embrace ethical curiosity and approach every challenge with an analytical mindset. Seek to understand the underlying principles and theories, but also question and challenge them with healthy respect and intellectual humility.

Work smart. We don't take students in for the sake of kicking them out. We work hard for you to graduate. Do the same. I won't sugarcoat this--one of the best GE programs in Asia demands dedication and perseverance. Take ownership of your education by actively engaging in coursework, attending lectures, and seeking opportunities for hands-on experience. Embrace independence by managing your time effectively, organizing your priorities, and taking responsibility for your own learning journey. I'm sure you love your guardians and support group (and we love them too!) but learn to seek out resources and support when needed, but also develop self-reliance and adaptability.

DR. CZAR JAKIRI S. SARMIENTO Department Chairman

Integrity is a core value that should guide your actions both in the program and your future professional endeavors. Uphold ethical standards, practice academic honesty, and respect the intellectual property of others. It's OK to feel stupid, it happens! But don't cheat just to save face. Strive for fairness, transparency, and accountability in all aspects of your work.

Take leadership. The most difficult person to lead is yourself. Graduation is a product of small decisions whose consequences accumulate over time. Seek opportunities to collaborate, communicate effectively, and contribute meaningfully within group projects and extracurricular activities. Develop a growth mindset that encourages teamwork, empathy, and effective problem-solving.

Develop emotional maturity. UP life often involves working under pressure, encountering setbacks, and navigating complex situations. Cultivate emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience to handle challenges with grace. Communicate effectively, listen actively, and value diverse perspectives. Strive for balance in your personal and professional life, taking care of your well-being and nurturing positive relationships.

I have more to say but let me save that for your stay. If you skipped to this part, here's a TLDR Develop critical thinking, work smart, and be independent. Uphold integrity, nurture leadership skills, and cultivate emotional maturity. Embrace opportunities, seek guidance, and believe in your abilities.

Padayon!

To initiate your journey in the university, you must proceed through the new first year students advance registration process. The steps include: (1) securing your classes through the preenlistment system within CRS; (2) consulting your assigned faculty adviser through preadvising; and finally, (3) attending the advance registration with OUR to complete your enrollment process.

PRE-ADVISING

Proceed now to preadvising. Check whether you signed up for online or onsite pre-advising.

CHECK CLASSES

Take note of the classes you did not get via preenlistment. Refer to the curriculum flowchart/checklist for the courses which you may enlist.

DGE ADVANCE REGISTRATION PROCESS

For New First Year Students

A. List of courses you did not get from the pre -enlistment and, hence, still need to enlist;

B. A copy of your high school basic calculus syllabus or proof that you passed the Math 20 validation exam if you took it

RUN

Wait for the pre-enlistment results to be released after the batch run. This usually takes one to two days. You can view your enlisted classes in CRS.

Pre-enlist any of the blocks created to contain all the classes you will need based on the approved BS GE curriculum, as well as other classes you need which are not included in the block (e.g., ARTS 1 and KAS 1, PE).

*General Education Courses

Note that you can take other General Education (GE) subjects, Kas 1 and ARTS 1 are just suggestions, you may choose other General Education subjects to enlist; you may also choose to take General Education courses on other semesters, based on your OWN plan of study

**PE

Note that you are not required to take PE 1 before taking any PE 2 courses. You are also not required to take PE in this semester, you have a lot of semesters coming to take PE courses. The University just requires you to take at least four PE courses to graduate.

***Note for students with no Basic Calculus

GE 10, Math 21, and Physics 71 require that a student has taken and passed High School Basic Calculus. Student needs to provide proof of passing the subject during the Online Pre-Advising. If the student has not yet passed the subject, they will need to enlist Math 20 as a non-credit course and they will not be allowed to take GE 10, Math 21, and Physics 71
