UP Mindanao served as the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) Center for Davao City for UPCAT 2025, which was held nationwide on August 10 and 11, 2024.

The UP Office of Admissions and UP Mindanao staff prepared for the anticipated 1,700 examinees from Davao City and the nearby areas for the four sessions over the two days.

During the testing period, the UP Mindanao campus was closed to all constituents to allow the examinees to use it exclusively.

After the test sessions, UP Mindanao student volunteers continued the UP Mindanao tradition of collecting the used pencils for re-use by pupils in the Pahinungod beneficiary schools and in the UP Land Reservations.
