The university has increased last year’s enrollment by 13.68% in the college level.

The number of enrolled students from Kindergarten up to the School of Graduate Studies as of August 27, 2021 is 13,245. This is bigger than last year’s enrollment figure of 12,566. There is a 13.68% increase in the total figures of the college enrollment.

The current number of enrollees will even go higher once the last day of enrollment will end on September 1, 2021. More will be added also when the College of Medicine and College of Law will have their enrollment in the coming month.

Here are some thoughts from our University officials:

“I thank the parents for their continued trust in Central Philippine University by enrolling their children in our University. Despite the many difficulties brought about by the pandemic and online learning, they chose to stay with us. We thank the Lord for His faithfulness and provisions especially as we have surpassed the enrollment figures of the last school year.” – Dr. Teodoro C. Robles, CPU President.

“God has once again surprised Central Philippine University when our enrolment for this school year, 2021-2022 surpassed that of last school year. We thank Him for this great blessing – another golden opportunity for CPU to mold young lives. We pray that He will grant the CPU administrators, faculty, and staff the wisdom, strength, resilience, and most especially love as we serve our students and one another.” – Dr. Esther Rose R. Romarate, CPU Vice President for Student Affairs.

“Thank you Lord for your faithfulness to CPU! You have exceeded our expectations!!!” – Dr. Florence P. Bogacia, CPU Vice President for Finance and Administration.

“Flexible learning has opened its door to students; the administration and faculty are here to help you enter the door by yourself. In this unpredictable environment, getting the right education will help you plan for a lifetime. There are several factors beyond our control and even beyond the control of the state; however, we can always educate our mind to adapt solutions that aim to address problems in the overall learning process. – Dr. Irving Domingo L. Rio, CPU Vice President for Academic Affairs.
