La Consolacion University Philippines (LCUP; Filipino; Pilipino: Pamantasang La Consolacion sa Pilipinas) is a private Catholic co-educational basic and higher education institution administered by the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation (ASOLC) in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines. It was established by the Augustinian Sisters in 1937, originally named Colegio de Nuestra Señora del Carmen. It was later renamed Regina Carmeli College in 1967.

In December 1997, the Commission on Higher Education granted university status to the school, and it was renamed University of Regina Carmeli (URC). In January 2011, the Augustinian Sisters once again changed the name of the school to La Consolacion University Philippines, in accordance with a congregational decision that all schools being run by the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation in the Philippines carry the name “La Consolacion".[1]

Recent developments

In January 2011, the school changed its name to La Consolacion University Philippines after a congregational decision that all schools under operation by the Augustinian Sisters carry one name.
