The Academic Information Management Systems (AIMS) was developed to serve as the online gateway to the university’s academic operations.

Only the following students are allowed access to ORS:

• Continuing students
• Newly admitted students
• Readmitted students
• Returning students with approved LOA
• Cross enrollees with the approved permit to cross-register
• Non-degree students with approved application

Yes. If your program is offered following a semestral schedule and you wish to take courses (e.g. electives) offered under another program that follows a trimestral schedule, and vice versa, you may register during the registration periods for the trimester and the semester as long as it has an approval from your Program Chair. 

Courses are usually offered based on a program of study, and the list of course offerings per term typically includes a note indicating which cohort or batch should take which courses. Students who adhere to the approved program of study by enrolling the courses offered for their cohort every term might not need to consult with their Program Chair before enrolling. However, if you are not sure about which courses to take, or you wish to get a clear confirmation that you are enrolling in the correct course/s, do consult your Program Chair.
