The Truth Behind Priority Enrollment. (Original e-mails from Ms. Nicole Villarojo, SC President and Mr. Edwin Santiago, Registrar)

I am pretty sure a lot of Lasallians are confused as to what the truth behind the priority enrollment issue is. Well, currently, a few people are claiming that it's their achievement as an officer. I believe it's about time people know the truth.

The text below will reveal just that

Dear Ms. Villarojo,

I am not sure what you mean by "recent," but I do not recall any pending proposal with the Enrollment Committee, where this matter belongs, nor directly to my office. There is neither a proposal pending before the VCAR Council (formerly the Council of Deans) which, several years back, decided on maintaining the status quo on priority enrollment, as being implemented.

It was mentioned in one of the meetings of the Enrollment Committee, perhaps, nearer the start of the School Year 2008-09, but it was not considered favorably.

Be that as it may, since there has been no substantive change in the considerations used at the time this scheme was decided to be retained, our position remains the same.

I hope this clarifies matters.

Thank you.

Subject: Inquiry regarding SC proposal

Dear Mr. Santiago,

Greetings!

I recall in my first year as an LA Representative, I sent a proposal to your kind office regarding priority enrollment; in particular, having the priority enrollment status re-conferred to a student who has earned at least a 2.5 in a subject he/she has previously failed. It was explained to me why the proposal could not be approved.

I would like to inquire regarding the status of a similar proposal which was recently given by a Student Council office regarding priority enrollment?

In St. La Salle,

Nicole R. Villarojo

Student Council President
