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.
