On April 29, 2026, the admissions referral partnership between the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and Colegio de San Juan de Letran Manila was formally established and is now operational, providing a coordinated pathway for applicants under shared Catholic and Dominican educational formation.

The development follows a series of coordination meetings between the UST Office for Admissions (OFAD) and the Colegio, providing USTET applicants with a direct and structured pathway to pursue Senior High School or Tertiary education within the Dominican academic network, while maintaining the standards and autonomy of both institutions.

According to Assoc. Prof. Emelda A. Dakis, MD, Director of the UST Office for Admissions, USTET applicants may use their examination results to apply to other Dominican schools, including Letran Manila. Following the release of USTET results during UST’s 415th Founding Anniversary on April 28, 2026, applicants may access their USTET portal, where a direct application link to Colegio de San Juan de Letran Manila is provided. Through this, applicants may proceed with enrollment by submitting required personal information and selecting their preferred academic program at Letran. 

Part of the discussions also included UST’s proposal to designate Letran as a potential testing center for future USTET administrations.

Rev. Fr. Raymund Fernando P. Jose, O.P., Rector and President, expressed appreciation to the UST Office for Admissions for the partnership and conveyed the Colegio’s readiness to support UST initiatives within its capacity.

Both institutions concluded with a shared commitment to sustain the partnership and expand accessible, quality Catholic Dominican education in the years ahead.
