PUP's First Semester to Begin on June 19, Not August

It looks like Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) students won't be adjusting to a new start of the school year this 2017. The university announced that they'll be deferring the implementation of the academic calendar shift and transition term this school year.

Instead of the previously announced start of school year in August, the first semester of academic year 2017-2018 will begin on June 19, which means enrollment starts on June 5.

According to philstar.com, the suspension has something to do with the Commission on Higher Education and its ongoing review of the rules for the new free tuition fee.
