education services in Catanduanes State University, and at par with the best
universities in the Philippines, the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges

for Academic Affairs; COS Dean Prof. Joel Olfindo, faculty members, and the
Accreditation Task Force.

Accreditation Survey Team were composed of Dr. Jao-Jao A. Somyden from Benguet State
University, with Prof. Nancy C. Alaras from Cavite State University as the Lead

BSND is the only program that was recommended for Level IV Phase 2, from Level
III Phase 1, according to AACCUP in a call I received a few days after the
evaluation”, Dr. Pante told CCS.
The Quality Assurance Team continues to
prepare for 2023 accreditation mostly for Level III and IV for several program
offerings to ensure
passing the standards and be awarded the highest accreditation status, that way
CatSU can lend prestige to member institutions, and eventually help parents to
know which program they may send their children to for quality education,
especially here in CatSU. #CVecilles
