Who Can Apply?

  • Filipino students who wish to transfer to DLS-CSB after enrolling in other colleges or universities
  • Second-degree takers who wish to pursue another bachelor’s degree at DLS-CSB
  • Credits earned from a CHED-recognized college degree program are eligible for possible transfer for applicants with international credentials.


For International Applicants:

  • At the time of application, the applicant must have a valid passport with a corresponding tourist visa. SSP or tourist visa holders can only enroll in the following term once accepted for visa conversion processing.
  • DLS-CSB will assist in processing the student visas for those accepted into Benilde.
  • Documents submitted to the Center for Admissions, Scholarships, and Grants outside the Philippines must be authenticated or apostille-stamped by the Philippine Foreign Service Post. Documents in a non-English language must include an English translation.
  • Accepted international students are required to pay the International Student Fee.


For Applicants with Specific Education Needs:

De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde aims to provide educational opportunities for diversely gifted learners, including applicants with specific education needs (SEN). The final acceptance or non-acceptance of SEN applicants is based on the merits of their application and the ability of the College to provide services for their conditions.

SEN applicants refer to those who have a physical disability (e.g., heart condition, visual/hearing impairment), specific learning needs (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, ASD), or a psychological/mental health condition that affected schooling before/or may affect schooling at Benilde.

SEN applicants are advised to apply earlier to avoid delays in application processing.

Note that if this is not disclosed during the application, the College is not obliged to provide the applicant with any support or reasonable accommodation about the condition and will be treated as a regular applicant/student. 


Degree Program Choices:

The online application portal will ask applicants their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree program choices. The Admissions Committee will evaluate the applicant based on their choice, starting with the 1st choice until the 3rd choice. If an applicant is accepted into the 1st choice, the committee will no longer evaluate the 2nd and 3rd choices. If an applicant has been accepted into their 2nd choice, they did not qualify for their 1st choice. Once an applicant has been accepted into any of their choices, they are advised to proceed with confirmation and enrollment.

Changes to the accepted program are NOT allowed once confirmed. If an applicant receives a “Not Accepted” status, they did not qualify for their choices.
