MOA for a scholarship from Japan
Chancellor Digal signed a memorandum of agreement on behalf of UP Mindanao to receive a scholarship grant offer from a Japanese non-profit company in an online ceremony held on February 2, 2022. The grant came as part of the ongoing collaboration between UP Mindanao and the Consulate-General of Japan in Davao for the creation of a Knowledge Innovation S&T Park on campus. Mr. Toyoaki "Tony" Miwa, the donor, signed on behalf of the Mindanao Japan Science and Technology Platform, witnessed by his brother, Consul-General Yoshiaki Miwa.
“I am glad we are able to squeeze in this memorandum signing before Consul General Miwa leaves Davao next week,” said Chancellor Digal. “This agreement is very significant to us because it is about a partnership for the common goal of contributing to the development of Mindanao through innovation, science and technology, and its most important ingredient, the human resource.”
Mr. Miwa introduced himself as the founder of a company that trains Japanese CPAs to qualify in the US CPA exams. “Knowing that my brother has been working to launch an industry-academic-government collaboration project, my part could be to provide scholarships to faculty members and students in master and doctoral courses from Mindanao which will cover tuition, living expenses, and travel expenses to and from Japan. I believe that education and technological advancement are essential to long-run economic growth. I also believe that there are many fields in which Japanese educational institutions can contribute to the academic part of these projects,” he said.
Consul-General Miwa expressed his hopes for the project despite the end of his assignment in Davao. “When you think of the future of the development of Mindanao, science and technology are among the most important elements in the future,” he said. “The cooperation between the government, academia, and industry is really important in order to create a new industry cluster. I am also coordinating with Cagayan de Oro to establish a science and technology park in their city, I hope that both the CDO and Davao projects will be realized so that those two regions will be the growth center in Mindanao and a spillover effect created in between the areas, and Mindanao will develop as a whole. This is my strong hope.”
In his statement of commitment, Chancellor Digal said, "This scholarship offer aligns with UP Mindanao’s mission to be responsive and relevant to the diverse sectors in Mindanao and to sustain Mindanao heritage and biodiversity through innovative systems and technologies. Thus on behalf of UP Mindanao, I sincerely commit to fulfill the obligations of the university as stated in the memorandum of agreement for the scholarship program offered by the Mindanao Japan Science and Technology Platform.”

Dear Esteemed Faculty members and Students,
Good day!
It has been communicated to us that SAIS is experiencing some problems (inaccessibility, downtimes, etc.). This problem is system wide and the team assigned to SAIS is working around the clock to remedy the situation. However, due to time constraints and to save us from potential headaches and stresses, we are sad to announce that we are forgoing the use of SAIS this semester or until its problems are suitably addressed. Do not worry about this as this is only a temporary setback, we will persevere to fix the issues encountered by SAIS and finally use SAIS during the midyear.
In order to proceed with the pre-enlistment and enrollment, we will revert to the use of CSRS for the second semester.
The updated schedules are as follows:
Pre-enlistment
Jan 28- Feb 1 → Open to all
General Registration
Feb 2 - Feb 14 → wait for further instructions on the schedule per year level
Canvas subjects and students upload
Jan 28 → start of subjects upload in canvas
Feb 4 → first batch of students upload in canvas
Other schedule:
Feb 7 → Official start of classes
Additional information:
1) For first year students, an email will be sent to you for information regarding how to access CSRS or you may follow the instructions in the guides (please see attachment).
2) Guides for pre-enlisting and enrolling thru CSRS are attached.
3) We shall observe the performance of CSRS during pre-enlistment and will manage user access if we experience problems due to session traffic.
4) For problems encountered during pre-enlistment and enrollment, please contact your registration advisers or the office of your college secretary or file a bug report in CSRS.
Contact information:
May I further request the registration advisers to be available during the pre-enlistment and enrollment activities to answer queries from students.
We will communicate to you as the need arises.
