USL holds PAASCU orientation

(PAASCU), conducted the orientation to USL’s Extended Advisory Board (EAB) members, select heads of offices, and representatives of different academic units through Zoom.

The Institutional Development and Quality Assurance (IDQA) Office, spearheaded by Mrs. Luisa B. Aquino, executive assistant to the President for IDQA, hosted the event to discuss new accreditation standards of PAASCU as approved by its Board of Trustees on August 28, 2020.

The new accreditation standards will be effective for use in the school year 2023-2024, but for preliminary visits in SY 2022-2023, the said instruments will already be applied.

Rev. Fr. Renillo H. Sta. Ana, CICM, University president, shared that education should not stop even during this pandemic. Thus, USL has been on the move to accrediting its different programs.

As part of its efforts to sustain the University’s quality education and program accreditation level, USL held the PAASCU New Accreditation Standards Orientation on July 8, 2022, onsite and online.

“Education should be taken as an essential service. USL itself took the challenges with that great resolve to always provide quality education. So, being a CICM missionary institution, USL believes that education is a mission, and the mission cannot be stopped. Mission has to continue because through education, we will be able to accompany everyone, especially our learners in this most difficult time in their lives,” Fr. Sta. Ana said when he gave his message during the event. USLWB
