upon


Explanation:
It seems like this is a school brochure or students' guide, so I would use upon to be a little more official.

For the same reason, I would not use slash (/) in this case.
ex. Upon admission to the institution or discharge from the institution....

upon admission/discharge


Explanation:
'Upon' is somewhat formal, but it seems to fit the context (though the question does not really give any context), and it also fits well with both 'admission' and 'discharge'. 'On' or other prepositions do not necessarily fit well with both 'admission' and 'discharge'.
