Part Five – Student Manual

CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION

The first Student Manual was made effective under Board of Trustees’ Resolution
Number 450, s. 1997. Considering the demands for better approaches and policy guidelines as
ISCAF move on to transform itself into a University and following the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) suggested Manual of Operations for State Universities and Colleges (SUCs),
the student manual underwent extensive evaluation and study and after several workshops and
discussions, the Revised Student Manual was produced. As ISCAF formally transforms into Ifugao
State University (IFSU), it is imperative that the student manual be revised anew to fit its acquired
status. Its primary purpose is to ensure that guidelines are updated and made more applicable
to the present and future milieu, guidelines that are crystal clear to students, staff, teachers,
school officials, parents and other stakeholders.

Like travelers, traffic laws and signals are made apparent and accurate to enable them
to reach their destinations safely with a minimum of frustration or confusion. Similarly, school
procedures and rules promote learning in a well-organized, safe and pleasant environment. It is
in this light that this Student Manual containing general academic and other important
information concerning the school has been improved.

IFSU expects that every member of its academic community shares its historic mission
and commitment to Ifugao, making it a haven of educated and God loving people with improved
quality of life.

It is desired that the students familiarize themselves with the content of this manual. A
keen appreciation of its purpose will greatly contribute to the realization of the school’s mission
to fully develop learners’ potentials.
