Adjustment of IPS

All accepted applicants should closely coordinate with their respective Department Chairs/Program Directors with regard to adjusting their IPS within the context of the period of their SEO deployment. This is a necessary process to ensure that students will not be delayed in their graduation. In this regard, they will identify subjects to be taken in advance at the Ateneo prior to their departure and list subjects to be taken in their host school (The number of units or number of courses to be taken by SEO students will depend on the SEO scholarship program offer).
