IV. The DLSU AIMS Program Overview
The ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) Programme, formally known as M-I-T,
aims to create a vibrant student mobility programme for citizens of all SEAMEO (Southeast
Asian Ministers of Education Organization) member countries initiated in 2009 as
collaboration between the governments of Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Additional
Southeast Asian nations are now invited to join the efforts of M-I-T and collectively develop
a regional Southeast Asian student mobility programme.
(www.rihed.seameo.org/programmes/aims)
The Philippines became a member country of the AIMS Programme in 2013 through the
Commission on Higher Education’s (CHED) initiative to “improve the quality of education,
develop human resources and establish a Filipino knowledge-based society” which is also
mandated to “guide Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines, students and
3
academic personnel in capitalizing on prospects presented by internationalization and ensure
that further opportunities brought about by the impending ASEAN integration will help in
improving the Philippine higher education system.” (CMO No. 11, Series of 2014)
De La Salle University is now actively involved in the ASEAN International Mobility for
Students Programme, offering the following study fields for students who wish to participate
in the DLSU AIMS Programme: Business, Engineering, Economics, and Language and Culture.
With Japan, and Korean universities participating in the AIMS Programme, more student
mobility opportunities are now available for local and international students to interact and
develop a deeper sense of multicultural understanding and cooperation.

Enrollment in courses will be done by the exchange student prior to the beginning of
the Term. Exchange students will receive a notification to choose their desired
courses to be enrolled at DLSU together with the Letter of Acceptance. They will
also be informed in a separate communication (by email) of the schedule and the
procedure for enrollment.
b. Course loads (Credit units)
Maximum of 18 units (6 courses) for undergraduate students and 9 units (3
courses) for graduate students.
An endorsement letter from the home university faculty in-charge or
International Office is required for course loads exceeding the maximum units
10
allowed. Those enrolling beyond 18 units should submit a letter of request
from the home university.
Minimum of 12 units (4 courses, with 3 units each course) for undergraduate
students.
All changes (drop/add) in enrolled courses are done at the second day of
the start of classes.
Students are advised to choose at least 10 courses/subjects to be submitted
to De La Salle University (as part of the Inbound Application Form) for
approval.
IX. Bases of grading and earning of credits
Following are classroom activities, student performance and academic requirements utilized
as bases for grading within the 14-week trimestral period: Attendance
Short and long quizzes ( the frequency of which depends on the professor)
Home works and assignment
Class participation and recitation
Group work and presentations
Term papers/ Research papers
Midterm examination (once a term)
Final examination (once a term)
X. Preferred schedule of arrival in the Philippines
International students are advised to arrive at least one (1) week before the opening of the
Term. Arrival should be between Monday to Friday and preferably within working hours from
8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Availability of university vehicle and university personnel for airport
pick-up is only during working days and official working hours. For special arrangement,
international student must inform his/her International Office so that this can be properly
coordinated with DLSU International Center.
XI. Visa and permit for study
The International Center shall handle the processing of Special Study Permit (SSP) at the
Bureau of Immigration. The SSP allows the international student to study at a Philippine
university for a period of three to six months (1 – 2 trimesters). The Bureau of Immigration
requires this under Philippines laws on foreigners studying in the country. An updated
tourist/travel visa is required for all international students who are using SSP.
Total cost of a Special Study Permit and Alien Certificate of Registration Information
Card: Php9,000.00. This will be processed by the International Center after the
student has paid the fee at the DLSU Accounting Office during the Orientation Day.
Tourist visa extension fees - approximately Php17,430 for four months. This will be
paid by the international student at the Philippine Bureau of Immigration.
XII. Housing and Accommodation
Inbound students are strongly advised to house themselves near the University. DLSU
currently provides a limited number of condominium units or flats in two condominiums
near DLSU, the Providence Hotel and the EGI Taft Tower. There is a University-run dormitory
11
called The La Sallian Center, however, this can only accommodate a limited number of
students. The International Center will assist exchange students in finding appropriate
condominium/dormitory around the vicinity of the campus. A condominium/flat unit near the
university would cost an average of PHP 25,000.00 a month for single occupancy, but this
can be converted to twin sharing so two students can divide the cost. The rate is exclusive
of electricity bills, water and other utilities. Dormitory rates range from Php4,5000 to
Php8,000 (room sharing of up to quadruple) while dormtel accommodation (dormitory type
hotel) would cost around Php8,500 to Php15,000 (single to double occupancy).
Inbound students who are accepted will receive a Housing Reservation Form for their
preferred accommodation. The International Center will provide a detailed list of off-campus
housing residences and the process of reservation together with the student’s
Acceptance/Offer Letter.
For inquiries about the housing services and arrangement of accommodation, kindly get in

interested in improving and honing their English Language proficiency in the four basic
communication skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. The Center is proud of its
teachers who are specialists in their fields, particularly on English Language and its
application. All language teachers are carefully screened and their continuing education is
