Cagayan State University (CSU), represented by OIC President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Incorporated, represented by Executive Director Dr. Milabel E. Ho, authorizing the University to conduct its own Preliminary Survey Visits for academic program accreditation.
Anchored on AACCUP Board of Trustees Resolution No. 42, series of 2016, the initiative delegates to qualified State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) the authority to conduct preliminary surveys as part of efforts to strengthen internal quality assurance systems and build institutional capacity for sustainable quality development.
As part of the agreement, CSU will maintain a fully established Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) Office responsible for managing accreditation processes, training internal accreditors, and ensuring compliance with national quality standards.
The University will also adopt AACCUP’s official instruments, rating system, and reporting formats in its internal evaluations.
Results of CSU’s internal Preliminary Surveys will be reviewed and validated by AACCUP for approval and conferment of Candidate Status, and subsequently endorsed to the National Network of Quality Assurance Agencies (NNQAA) for certification.
