Did the school change its name?
Formerly, SPUQC was referred to as St Paul College Quezon City (SPCQC). So, only the acronym changed from SPCQC to SPUQC. The school has retained its identity and has the same mission since its inception.
On February 9, 2004, a certificate of recognition was given by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) to St. Paul University System of which SPCQ is a founding member, thus, changing its name to St. Paul University Quezon City.
Can boys enroll at SPUQC?
Yes, SPUQC has started accepting male students again in the Grade School Department since June 2005. One year later, the College Department opened its doors to male students. So, SPUQC has been a co-educational school for more than a decade now.
Unknown to many, as early as July 1946, the Grade School Department opened with 150 boys and girls. The phase-out of the boys’ section in the Grade School Department happened in mid-1950’s. Hence, SPCQC became an exclusive school for girls for five decades. Our school has seen many changes in its composition as history would attest.
Are scholarships available?
Scholarships are granted to Senior High School and College students. The following are the stipulations:
- For Senior High School, the applicant may avail of the full scholarship provided that he/she comes from the public school system and belongs to the top ten of the graduating batch of not less than 200 students. The scholarship is available to the first ten (10) public school completers on a first-come; first-served basis
- College scholarship comes from Underwood Scholarship Foundation and the Grant-in-Aid scholarship given by the University (For Religious Education students only).
- Unified Student Financial Assistance for Tertiary Education (UniFast) Act- The UniFast Act provides students currently enrolled in a SUC, CHED recognized local college or university (LCU), or state-run technical-vocational institution, free tuition and school fees. (RA 10687) For a detailed list of requirements, please visit SPUQC’s Center for Admissions and Linkages.
Note:
(1) Applicants for scholarship must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and other qualifying scholarship examinations for specific courses. (2) Applicants who wish to pursue a technical-vocational course (TVET) must have at least ten (10) years of basic education or its equivalent, and must pass the initial TESDA screening/profiling or assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation.
What does Autonomous Status mean for SPUQC?
It simply means that CHED recognized the institution’s high standards of excellence and integrity that it granted SPUQC “Autonomous Status” in December 2001. That status was again granted by CHED on May 18, 2017. The grant is valid until May 2019.
The Autonomous Status is the highest grant given by CHED. Among the benefits of the grant include the prerogative to determine curricular programs and offer extension classes, establish linkages through distance education, be exempted from the issuance of special order for its graduates and grant an honorary degree to deserving personalities. SPUQC will also be prioritized in subsidies and other financial incentives from CHED.
Is there financial aid granted to some students younger than the Senior High School age?
There is financial assistance granted to high school students. For incoming Grade 7 from SPUQC grade school and other schools, a certain amount is deducted from the net tuition. The scholarship given by PEAC to Junior High School students extends until Grade 10. Such assistance is available to accredited schools.
