To whom it may concern, Last August 13, 2011, I took UGAT and fortunately, with God's help, I passed it as I have read the results posted in UPOU Website. In the first place, I am trying to communicate to those who were to passed or still studying the AA. Unfortunately, I tried to reach them yet I failed. So, instead of asking the people who haven't had a professional authority to explain what AA's like; I rather e-mailed the UPOU amazing staffs. For months before I took UGAT, I am determined to be a distance learner, more or so, successfully. But, I don't know how to finish it in the easiest way, others can say that in order for you to succeed, you need a lot of patience, sweat, prayer and faith in the Above. Although, I am convinced to listen carefully to others' advices, I wanna show in my own way that I was more competent and persistent about finishing it easier and faster. Thus, I am not a working student and I'm just gonna do at home is to study. So, why not focus myself to study longer and quicker with my full-time advantage, anyway? This is my first freshman year to be in college without any tour what college freshman year's all about; just a bit-intro mode by the UPOU faculty about AA. While most of my former elementary and high school friends and classmates were there to undergo; I am here in this situation. I wanna fulfill as well the Bachelor's degree and I have a dream to do it younger. You know, there's a lot of advantage being younger and while being older is still good, I have my choice, I have my dream and it is to finish younger. I just asked the UP-Diliman faculty about the plan of finishing the AA and continue the bachelor's degree course I chose. I am frustrated, I need to take a lot more years when most of my colleagues were already GRADUATES. And, for these, I need your big help! Foremost, I wanna ask, are there any more ways to finish the degree rather than to take it in a maximum load of 12 units per semester? Kindly explain about all those subjects, I always visit the UPOU AA Webpage but I didn't understand. We went to UP Faculty too but we're still confuse. We're too shy to ask for more than twice. Please help in order for us not to pay wrongly. You know? It's quite hard to refund the fees and make a lot of mistakes. So, kindly give me some advice what will I do, I wanna take a Film course but most of the Film courses didn't have the same subjects like AA. How many will be credited? THESE ARE THE FILM SUBJECTS/UNITS: http://filminstitute.upd.edu.ph/?page_id=29 BLESSED DAY!

Sometimes subjects are offered only either the 1st or 2nd sem. Jeric was able to finish AA in two years plus summer courses. When to finish the course depends also on your pace in studying, there are so many reading assignments, you will be an independent learner. hope this helps.
