Academic and Student Services

What will be the mode of learning delivery in Academic Year 2021-2022?

Classes for Senior High School in the 1st Semester and for College in the 1st Quarter will be delivered fully online. The learning delivery in the 2nd Semester in Senior High School and in the succeeding quarters in College will be subject to the government regulations released by the IATF, the CHED on the resumption of face-to-face classes.

What are the different programs offered by Mapúa based on learning modality?

Mapúa currently offers two types of programs based on learning modality: (1) fully online and (2) blended.

Fully online (Ubiquitous Online Experience or UOx) programs are asynchronous programs that allow for “anytime, anywhere” education. These are suitable for students who do not want to be constrained by geography and time in the learning activities throughout their study.

Blended programs feature a mix of on-campus face-to-face and online learning modes. The teaching and learning activities are designed to be synchronous.

What is the difference between fully online and blended degree programs?

Fully online (UOx) programs have teaching and learning activities that are designed to be asynchronous and delivered fully online. These do not require real-time interaction between students and instructors and among students. Students access the learning content online and do their coursework on their own through Mapúa’s learning management system – Cardinal EDGE – at a time that best suits their schedule. The only time considerations that learners need to meet in these programs are the deadlines for submission or accomplishment of assessment tasks and the University’s academic calendar.

Blended degree programs, on the other hand, are degree programs similar to the regular programs previously delivered in face-to-face mode. These programs have teaching and learning activities that are delivered in a combination of on-campus face-to-face and online modes. These activities are designed to be synchronous, wherein students attend classes at the same time and there is real-time interaction between students and instructors and among students.

Can students shift to another learning modality?

Students are allowed to shift learning modalities – from UOx to blended or vice versa. However, students are only allowed to shift learning modalities twice. The deadline for shifting is announced by the Registrar’s Office every quarter. The complete policies and guidelines for shifting learning modalities can be found in the Academic Handbook at https://www.mapua.edu.ph/Academics/Undergraduate/Assets/MU%20Academic%20Handbook%202021.pdf#page=72.

Is Mapúa already holding face-to-face classes for blended programs?

Classes for blended degree programs are currently delivered online. The resumption of face-to-face classes will be subject to the government regulations and policies released by the Inter-agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Department of Education (DepEd).

What student services will be open on campus?

For everyone’s safety, the University is encouraging everyone to transact through online means. However, essential services and departments such as Admissions, Registrar’s Office, Treasury, Development Office for IT, and SOCIP will be delivered in-campus, following the health and safety protocols for the prevention of COVID-19.
