ISSUE NO. 1 VOLUME NO. 2 | 1ST Semester June-July 2014
Regi’s Return: A sign of a good start?
-ReiJanGon The wind blew in a different era last academic year as the registration certificate issuance—just like the dinosaurs according to the myth--underwent extinction. But this A.Y 2014-2015, the wind surprisingly blows once again in an utterly different way. The Registrar’s Office confirmed that they will issue again registration certificate to all legitimate PUPians.
Why they brought it back?
Regi—as PUPian called it—will be issued again because of the failure of the idea that it is no longer needed. Regarding to the statement of Mrs.Abegail Malabuyoc, Chief Registrar, last year, PUPians no longer need Regi for the SIS contain all the necessary data and records. Despite the mere fact that Regi is a part of miscellaneous fee, the Office of the Registrar adamantly insisted not to issue it last AY. Students who needed it paid 150 just to get a copy of their Regi.
How to get your Regi?
But as a good start for this year, PUPians only need to pass their student’s copy of voucher to the Office of the Registrar for them to get their Regi. There are no other necessary requirements just the proof that they already have paid their enrolment fee. This is good news to the scholars of different programs who need it most.

PUP contains vast number of students
who are members of different Scholarship Program. Not to mention, most of the students here is a real ‘iskolar’ aside from the label ‘Iskolar ng Bayan’. These real scholars are obliged to pass legal documents such as the Regi, Certification of Grades etc. to their sponsors as a requirement to their Scholarship Program. In this case, the issuance of Regi is a really big help to them. But now the Regi is back, the Certification of Enrolment is no longer accessible to the scholars unless the pay 150 for it.
How about the shiftees, transfeeres and returnees? Being the late enrollees who made their enrolment thru R-zero form, they too will be issued Regi. According to Mrs.Malabuyoc, all will get their Regi but for those who didn’t enroll thru registering in SIS and paying in Landbank, they just need to pass Continued on next page...
