The
Office of Student Affairs is directly under the Office
of the President. As an effective partner of the
academic units in the learning process of students, it
shall guide the latter and their organizations in
pursuing endeavors enhancing their physical, social/
recreational, cultural, literacy and educational growth
and development, and shall formulate policies and
guidelines on non-academic matters to student services
and student related activities consistent with law, the
school’s goals/objectives and policies, but subject to
the approval of the President and in appropriate cases,
of the Board of Regents of the University. |
Objectives and Functions
Towards these
ends, the OSA shall perform the following functions:
-
To
maintain an effective coordinating mechanism with both
the academic and non-academic offices/ units of the
University.
-
To
promulgate such rules and regulations as may be
necessary to carry out the objective and policies of the
University on co-curricular programs and on student
organizations in campus.

Government and various council officers.

organizations are in accord with University goals and
existing rules and regulations.
-
Develop
the human potentials and resources of the students in
managing themselves as individuals or as members of

Plans and Tentative Programs
A vital
factor that determines the relative success and achievements
of an academic institution is its students. If an
institution must aspire for a position of prominence in the
field of education, it is imperative upon itself to turn out
quality students who are, in effect, the living
advertisement of the kind of institution that it is. But
quality students mean quality service-both in the academic
and non-academic components of a student’s life. While the
academic is the school’s primordial concern, a student’s
full educational development could not be without the
non-academic.
In schools,
the direction and supervision of the non-academic activities
and services fall squarely on the Office of the Student
Affairs. Hence, the office, as an effective partner of the
academic units in the learning process of students, shall
guide the latter and their organizations in pursuing
endeavors that shall enhance their physical,
social/recreational, cultural, literacy and educational
well-being.
