23 Agosto 2014, 10:22 a.m. - NAGSAGAWA ng isang noise barrage sa harapan ng UST ang ilang mag-aaral upang ipabatid ang kanilang pagkondena sa Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).

Pinangunahan ng Youth Act Now, mga konseho ng Faculty of Civil Law at Faculty of Arts and Letters, at UST Yellow Jackets ang noise barrage kahapon na pinamagatang, “DAPat Managot, DAPat Mag-ingay," na naglayong humikayat sa kabataan na makialam sa isyu ng korapsyon sa bansa.

MAGPAPATUPAD ng sistemang online ang Office of Admissions (OFAd) para sa lahat ng magnanais kumuha ng UST Entrance Test (USTET) sa taong pang-akademiko 2015-2016.

Ayon kay Marie Ann Vargas, direktor ng OFAd, isang hakbang ng Unibersidad ang naturang pagbabago upang sumabay sa bilis ng teknolohiya at mapadali ang proseso ng aplikasyon.

“This is the idea of making things easier for our applicants. Basically, they can do everything online,” aniya. “The only time they will come to UST is when they take the exams.”

Sa bagong sistema ng aplikasyon, sasagutan at ida-download ang application form mula sa website ng OFAd (ofad.ust.edu.ph).
