Applications are submitted online through the the Ateneo de Davao University admissions portal. Requirements vary by academic level, so we encourage you to visit the Admissions page for the complete list of requirements, deadlines, and step-by-step instructions.

Jesuit education forms the whole person: intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Rooted in nearly 500 years of Ignatian tradition, it emphasizes critical thinking, moral discernment, and a commitment to serve others, especially the least, the lost, and the last.

“Dropping” refers to the removal of some subjects enrolled by a student, as opposed to “adding” which is the inclusion of those where the latter has not previously been enlisted for.

Withdrawal on the other hand is the deletion of all the student’s enlistment for the semester.

Given the prevailing health conditions, adding and dropping are done until the first week of the semester or the first two days during summer, online via the Ateneo de Davao University Student Information System. No request for adding and dropping will be entertained thereafter.

No. Class sizes are fixed for the efficient delivery of instruction and in compliance with existing school and CHED regulations.

Dissolved classes shall be appropriately marked as such on the SIS registration of the students. If a class is dissolved during the enrollment, or during the adding and dropping period, substitute courses may be added online. The assistance and endorsement of the Department Chairpersons are required for dissolutions after such periods.

A student may officially withdraw his enrollment within six weeks from the start of the semester or within two weeks from the start of summer school. No request for withdrawal will be entertained thereafter. For now, this may be done by sending a request to admissions@addu.edu.ph (for the first years and, new students) and registrar@addu.edu.ph (for old students).

The University may withhold or charge the following amounts for the withdrawal, varying on the period when the same is made.

Enrollment Period P250.00*
1st Week of classes 10% of Total Assessment
2nd and 3rd Week of classes 25% of Total Assessment
4th and 5th Week of classes 50% of Total Assessment
6th Week of classes 75% of Total Assessment
7th Week of classes 100% of Total Assessment

As the withdrawal charge changes according to the period when it is settled or paid, this must be paid right away upon request for withdrawal to avoid the escalating charges.

*Changes may have applied. Please contact admission for more information.

Late enrollment may be allowed until the first week of the semester or the first two days during summer, subject to the payment of surcharges.

Students who failed to confirm their enrollment via their payment of the fees before the deadline set (or the commencement of the Enrolment Confirmation and Reservation Cancellation Procedure) shall be treated as late enrollees when no payment has been made prior to the start of classes.

The Ateneo de Davao University Student Information System (SIS) is the online portal for official transactions with the University for Student Services. Students may enroll, check their academic statuses, accounts by accessing https://sis.addu.edu.ph/.

Students are required to check their SIS during pre-registration, enrollment, and the first week of classes for possible issues with their enrollment. Any issue raised belatedly, as resulting from the student’s failure to notice the same in his SIS shall not be corrected thereafter.
