Present certificate of indigency if no medical tests during enrollment, Dr. Azanza tells CatSU incoming students on pre-enrollment orientation

Attended by hundreds of students from five colleges, Catanduanes State University President, Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza told the incoming first year, transferees, and returning students to submit their certificate of indigency in the absence of medical tests during the Pre-enrollment Orientation on Monday, July 31.

“Do not worry, mag-present sana kamong certificate of indigency sa medical officer, libre man an na makukuha sa mga barangay. No one should be refused to enroll dahil daeng imo para magpa-medical buda laboratory tests,” the president assured the students at the university gymnasium.

“Gigibuhan ta an ning paagi, later on, kung papano kamo maka-comply sa mga requirement,” the president added.

In response to the president's pronouncement, students, including the faculty from the College of Agriculture and Fisheries, College of Business and Accountancy, College of Education, College of Health Science, and College of Engineering and Architecture, cheered and gave a round of applause.

Echoing the directive of the president, the university registrar, Ms. Marilyn G. Tejada, reiterated to the students the importance of securing the above-cited certificate and advised them to counter-check their Certificate of Enrollment (COE) upon issuance with their prospectus to avoid conflicts.

“Provide a certificate of indigency before proceeding to your respective deans’ offices and compare your COEs to your prospectus,” Tejada stated while discussing the topic about the policies on admission, registration, evaluation, and grading systems.

Meanwhile, Office of Student Affairs and Development Services (OSADS) newly-designated Director Prof. Francis John B. Templonuevo, informed the incoming students about their office’s mandate and urged them to participate in the university’s co-curricular programs and activities.

“Partner tayo, if may concern kayo, bukas ang aming opisina para riyan. Kami rin ang in-charge sa pag-monitor at guide sa mga students’ activities,” the OSADS director said.

Introducing University Student Council (USC) President Francine Mae T. Tayo to present the new design of the proposed student uniform, Prof. Templonuevo urged the incoming CatSUans to practice wearing their school uniform since this is a ‘form of discipline and will serve as their identities’ as students of CatSU. 

Also present at the event were Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Gemma G. Acedo, the deans of the five colleges, Prof. Noly T. Benavides from the Guidance, Counseling, and Testing Office, and National Service Training Program (NSTP) Director Emlyn Lanon.

Tomorrow, August 1, Cluster B students and faculty will attend similar orientations from four colleges: College of Information and Communications Technology, College of Industrial Technology, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the College of Science.

The start of classes for undergraduate students will be on August 14, and August 19 for graduate students.
