Education and Personal History Question

[heydaydreamer]

Post-ITA Question:

My university has several campuses in the country. How should I fill out the "City/Town where activity took place" if my timeline for my Bachelor's were like this:

2012-2013: University of the Philippines Los Banos
2013-2016: University of the Philippines Diliman

The two campuses are in different cities. I graduated from the Diliman campus. The degree program was the same all throughout, and the courses I took from the Los Banos campus were credited when I transferred. The diploma only says University of the Philippines and does not specify the campus, but my WES and CES reports specify them. I really don't know which location to put.

Also, I did a postgrad diploma via distance learning, which location should I put in this as well? Filling out forms can get quite confusing.

Thank you!

I would go with the city for the Diliman campus.

For distance learning, enter the location of the institute. However, when you mention the institute name, mention "{By Correspondence}" after it's name.

Applicants are instructed to indicate that their education was completed by correspondence by typing in brackets {by correspondence} on the same line as the education institution name found in the Education Background Information tab of GCMS. The discretion remains with the officer to decide if a police certificate is required for the country of the education institution

@Maverick28 This is a dumb question, but how do I go about entering the years in the personal history section? For instance, I'm 24 so only the activities after I turned 18 are counted. If I did my Bachelor's from 2012-2016 (I turned 18 in 2014), how do I enter the years in the personal history section? Thanks!

You can start from 2012.
