Late application is for applicants who intend to apply to Benilde for the upcoming academic year, but have not yet started their application. The late application is done on-site. You can do this if you’re applying in Benilde Manila as:

  • An incoming Grade 11 Senior High School student
  • An incoming First-year student 
  • A Second-degree applicant
  • A Transferee
  • A Graduate Student

Who is not eligible for late application?

You can’t go through the late application process if: 

  • You have previously paid the application fee and submitted your application requirements during the Batch 1 to Batch 3 Application Schedule (ongoing completion, submission of documents, or awaiting results).
  • Your application status was Not Accepted; file a request for reconsideration instead.
  • You’re an international student who requires a student visa application; visa conversions take time and will not be finished in time for the opening of classes
  • You have Specific Learning Needs or Psychological-Emotional-Mental Health concerns; the application process involves a series of interviews to ensure that Benilde can accommodate your needs that will not be finished in time for the start of classes. You can apply on the next application period instead (2nd Term).

Are all undergraduate programs still open for application?

The following undergraduate programs have limited slots left: Architecture, Interior Design, Multimedia Arts, Animation, Music Production, and Film. There is no guarantee that you can shift to these programs later on once you get accepted into a different undergraduate program.
