NOTICE: CHANGE OF SCHEDULE | DELAYED ORSEM

Magis Day, Freshies and Transferees!

Please be informed that the Delayed Orientation Seminar (ORSEM) originally scheduled on September 3, 2026 will be moved to September 9, 2026; 8:00AM - 12:00NN at the Little Theatre .

This change in schedule is intended to give us the opportunity to accommodate all first-year students and transferees who have not yet registered for the activity. We would like to ensure that everyone who is required to attend will have the chance to participate, especially since attendance at ORSEM is a requirement for the release of IDs.

We sincerely encourage all concerned students to take note of the new schedule and register for the Delayed ORSEM.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to welcoming you!

‎UNLOCKED: OrSem Talent Expo!

Once again, the OrSem 2026 ended with a university tradition–OrSem Night. Every performance unlocked another unforgettable moment.

The stage first came alive as our singers captivated the audience with heartfelt melodies, powerful vocals, and performances that resonated long after the final note. Thirteen voices. One purpose—to make every note count.

As the music reached its final crescendo, the spotlight shifted to the Dance Revolutions, where six groups transformed the stage into a showcase of passion, precision, and creativity. Every performance ignited louder cheers, proving that every step had the power to move not only the stage but also the hearts of the Freshies.

The excitement continued to rose high as the All Stars Cheerdance took center stage, raising the energy to even greater heights. Through breathtaking stunts, unwavering teamwork, and routines, they left the crowd in awe. Every jump reached higher. Every stunt shone brighter.

The third day of OrSem 2026 brought Freshies into a day of movement, competition, and exploration across the university grounds.

The morning featured parallel activities across campus, with OrSemazing Games, OrSemVivor, and Student Interest Sessions taking place simultaneously.

At OrSemVivor, 100 freshies divided into groups navigated eight stations that tested their coordination, teamwork, and energy through a series of challenges. Meanwhile, around 600 freshies gathered for OrSemazing Games, beginning with chants from eight groups before taking on activities such as the Papercup Tower Challenge, Pingpong Balance Relay, Longest Line Challenge, Silent Birthday Line Up, Emoji Guess, and Guess the Song.

Alongside the games, Student Interest Sessions provided freshies with spaces to engage in activities centered on their different interests.

The afternoon shifted toward exploration through the Org Tour, where freshies moved across the university grounds and visited organizations from different colleges. Each stop introduced them to communities, shared interests, and opportunities for involvement beyond the classroom.
