Question 1

What is Upsked?

Accepted Answer

Upsked helps students plan class schedules with clarity. Compare options visually, avoid conflicts, and make faster enrollment decisions. Choose your school, search the catalog, place sections on a week view, and see conflicts as you build drafts.

Question 2

How does Upsked help with enrollment?

Accepted Answer

Upsked lays your week out visually while you choose sections. Compare drafts, catch overlapping meetings before you commit, and move faster when registration opens—so you spend less time guessing and more time deciding.

Question 3

What is batch run?

Accepted Answer

Batch run is a period when your school's registration system processes enlistment requests and assigns slots based on rules, priorities, and availability (at many Philippine schools this flows through CRS). Results often roll out in stages. If you miss a section, you may get another chance during repick or through waitlists, depending on campus policy.

Question 4

What is prerog (teacher prerogative)?

Accepted Answer

Prerog is when an instructor manually adds you to a class, bypassing normal online slot limits. Students usually request it by email or by showing up early; it's common when a section looks full online but the professor can still admit a few students.

Question 5

How do course waitlists usually work?

Accepted Answer

Waitlists behave like a second-chance queue after initial enlistment: departments process them on their own timelines, and selection is not always first-come-first-served. Follow official announcements from your college or department so you know when lists close, reopen, or get processed.

Question 6

Why am I underloaded?

Accepted Answer

Underloading means you're below your program's minimum unit load. Common causes include not securing seats during batch processing, schedule conflicts that block a full set of classes, or tight availability in required or gen-ed courses. Fix it through repick, waitlists, prerog where allowed, or an approved underload appeal—per your school's rules.

Question 7

How do I find open gen-ed or elective courses?

Accepted Answer

High-demand breadth courses fill fast: check your registrar or student portal during repick, watch for new sections, and try less crowded time slots. Upsked helps you test combinations on a calendar so you can see what actually fits without overlapping meetings.

Question 8

What's the difference between preenlistment and regular enlistment?

Accepted Answer

Preenlistment is the early wishlist phase before the system runs its big placement pass. Regular enlistment (sometimes called repick) is the period after results drop, when you add, drop, waitlist, and adjust based on real seat counts.

Question 9

How can I avoid schedule conflicts?

Accepted Answer

Map sections on a real weekly grid before you submit. Upsked highlights overlaps, and keeping one or two backup sections per course saves you when a lab-lecture pair or required block doesn't line up.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Upsked is multi-school: pick your university in the app to load the right catalog and terms. Coverage expands as we add campuses—check the school picker for the latest list.
