REGISTRATION DETAILS

Step 1 (of 6): Create an ExCRS account (Skip to Step 3 if you already have an ExCRS account)

• Sign up for an ExCRS account online at uplinguistics.com.
• Prepare image files of your recent photo and a valid Philippine government-issued ID.
  • Only JPG and PNG files that are less than 2MB are accepted.
    • PDFs and other file formats are NOT accepted.
  • For Undergraduate Students: You may use a school ID or birth certificate instead of a government ID.
  • You can also opt to take a webcam photo instead of uploading a recent one.
• Provide the following information: (1) NAME, (2) EMAIL, (3) PHONE NUMBER, (4) ADDRESS, (5) BIRTHDATE, (6) GENDER, (7) OCCUPATION, (8) AFFILIATION (School/Company/Organization; Write N/A if unaffiliated), (9) INDUSTRY (e.g. Education, Finance; Choose OTHERS if your industry is not available from the options or if unsure which industry you are in), and (10) PERSON TO CONTACT IN CASE OF EMERGENCY with CONTACT DETAILS (mobile number preferred).
  • Please make sure that the information you enter is the same as the one shown on your submitted government ID.
  • Double-check your email address as this will be your username and the activation link will be sent there.
    • We encourage using your personal email and not your school or work email to avoid issues related to your affiliation in the future. 
  • Foreign nationals will be asked to provide a copy of their residence permit or Philippine visa and in the case of UP Diliman exchange students, they may provide a copy of their UPD Form 5 instead.
  • The languages used for instruction are English and/or Filipino.
    

Note to those below 18 years of age: Due to the collection of personal information, those below 18 years of age are required to inform their parent/legal guardian that they are creating an ExCRS account. 

• We offer Kids & Teens Classes during the Summer (April-May) and Midyear (June-July) terms. Young language learners from age 7 to 16 are advised to enroll in the Kids & Teens Class. In regular extramural classes, students who are below 17 years old may be asked to transfer to another class or cycle.
• Students who are at least in their senior high may join the regular extramural classes.

UPD students are still required to create an Extramural Classes Registration System (ExCRS) account as this is a separate registration database used by the UP Department of Linguistics for its Extension Program.

Step 2 (of 6): Activate your ExCRS account (Skip to Step 3 if you already have an ExCRS account)

• Check your email for the activation link from extrams.linguistics.upd@up.edu.ph and activate your account.
  • The activation link is sent to your email after a manual review of your account.
    • This may take up to 15 business days depending on the number of requests received so we advise that you create an account days before the start of registration. During the registration period, we process account requests several times each day.
    • Please disable email services such as Boxbe as this will prevent you from receiving the email.
    • Do not forget to check your SPAM folder as the email might have been redirected there.
      
    • Use the activation link only ONCE and do not use this link to log into your account. You may access your account at uplinguistics.com after activation. 

Send a follow-up email to extrams.linguistics.upd@up.edu.ph if you have not received the activation link after 15 business days (holidays and weekends excluded). 

Step 3 (of 6): Reserve a slot

• During the registration period, log in to your ExCRS account at uplinguistics.com.
  • If the class you are enrolling in has a prerequisite, please make sure that you have satisfied the prerequisite course/s. If you have not yet completed the prerequisite or its equivalent, you will not be able to reserve a slot. 
  • If you have prior knowledge of the language, fill out the self-assessment form at bit.ly/extramsplacement to determine your level and enroll in the appropriate course. If you already finished the prerequisite course under the Extramural Classes program, you do not need to fill in this form.
    
• Check the list of offered classes and reserve a slot.
  • Upon successful reservation of a slot, the student will be assigned a unique reservation code.
  • Classes may fill up quickly, so be mindful of the registration start date and time.

Waitlisting: If the class you are attempting to enroll in is already full, you may try to go on the waitlist. If a student with a reserved slot cancels their slot or their slot becomes forfeited due to non-payment within two (2) business days, your waitlist rank will either go up or you will be granted a reserved slot if your waitlist rank is Rank 1. A maximum of 10 students may join the waitlist and class slots are usually restricted to 20 students (15 students for Kids and Teens classes; note that some instructors may prefer more than 20 students in their class).

• If your status changes from being WAITLISTED to RESERVED, you will receive an email notification. 
• DO NOT PAY IF YOUR STATUS IS WAITLISTED. PAY ONLY WHEN YOUR STATUS IS RESERVED.
  • Refund requests will NOT be entertained when payment was done and the student has no reserved slot.

A friendly reminder: When in doubt, check your ExCRS account to know your registration status.

Step 4 (of 6): Download Payment Slip

• Download the payment slip (aka billing statement) from your account.
  • Go to your MY CLASSES page, select YEAR, and at the rightmost column click on PAYMENT SLIP.
    • Mobile phone users may need to scroll to the rightmost part of the page to find this option.
    • Note that the PAYMENT SLIP button will only appear when you have reserved a slot.

Step 5 (of 6): Pay for your slot

DO NOT PAY IF YOUR STATUS IS WAITLISTED. PAY ONLY WHEN YOUR STATUS IS RESERVED.
Refund requests will NOT be entertained when payment was done and the student has no reserved slot.

• Pay for your slot within two (2) business days (excluding Quezon City and national holidays and weekends).
  • For example, you reserved a slot on a Sunday, the slot will expire at 5 pm on Tuesday.
  • It is important that you do Step 6 before your slot expires.
  • The Payment Due Date that is displayed on your Payment Slip is your slot expiry date which is until 5 pm. 
• Get proof of your payment
  • Do not forget to get proof of your payment -- e.g. a screenshot of successful transaction.
  • Details should include the date and time of the transaction, and the amount transferred. These will be required in the next step.

There are two payment options (1) Online through Landbank's Link.Biz Portal; or, (2) Onsite through the UPD Cash Office. If you require an Official Receipt (OR), please pay onsite. Online transactions are not issued an OR. Please refer to the OVCA Memo No. AAP 2022-21 Non-Issuance of ORs.
