In addition, Upcat non-qualifiers who got a University Predicted Grade (UPG) of 2.8000 or better in the Upcat are also invited to apply as waitlisted in UP Mindanao. The University Predicted Grade (UPG) is included in the written notice that is sent to each Upcat applicant.

According to Cayamanda, Upcat qualifiers are those who passed the Upcat and were accepted in the UP constituent universities of their 1st or 2nd choice (such as UP Visayas, UP Baguio, etc.) while Upcat non-qualifiers are those who passed the Upcat but were not accepted in their 1st or 2nd choice of UP campus due to a higher cut-off required by the campus (such as UP Diliman).

UP Mindanao is the only UP constituent university located in Mindanao. It offers undergraduate degree programs in Anthropology, Architecture, Communication Arts, English (Creative Writing), Applied Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, Food Technology, Agribusiness Economics and a graduate degree program in Management.
