POLICY - GUIDELINES NO. 19 - 2012

Increased Dormitory Fee of the Ifugao State University in the amount of
Php 350/month for the Incoming Dorm Occupants
Effective S.Y. 2012-2013

I.Rationale
With the increasing population of students in the university, housing units are no longer enough tc
accommodate students who would like to stay while studying in the institution. Based on survey
conducted, almost one half of the total population of students are commuters with no boarding houses
They may either come from the nearby barangays of the municipality or those students commuting
from other municipalities.

Furthermore, boarding house fee outside the university based on community survey is alsc
increasing ranging from Php500 to Php600 per month for bed spacers while IFSU is charging only
Php250 per month per person. As a result, the administration conducted consultations to increase the
rent of dormitories per person in the amount of Php35O per month. Said consultations yielded positive
feedbacks among occupants and parents knowing that the income obtained from the increase in renta
would be used to provide good and decent housing for the students.

Since the university operates with meager funds, improved facilities of dormitories can only be
o possible with the resort of increasing the existing dormitory fee. It can also help to solve financia
constraints in the operation of the dormitories especially with increasing electric bills for light anc
water. In addition, the immediate surroundings of the dormitories also need immediate fencing tc
protect the occupants from gate crushers. The increasing number of students needs additional double
deck beds. With the present condition of dormitories, there is also an immediate need to construct CR:
as the main problem in the buildings while occupants who cannot afford to buy LPG tank would alsc
be given the alternative to use fire woods which is very much abundant in the surroundings.

Thus, with the profound desire to intensify student's housing services of the University, there is at
urgent need to increase dormitory fee of Php350/month to address the aforementioned quandaries anc
the payment of the following fees for use of various dormitory equipment and services:

Cell Phone battery chargingPhp 10.00/month\
Flat ironPhp 50.00/month
Electric FanPhp 40.00/month!
Washing Machine .Php 50.00/month
. Electric StovePhp 100.00/month

II.Objectives:

Generally, the proposal aims to improve the quality of housing services of the universit;
Q through improved facilities.
