MALAYBALAY CITY (IPS) Members of the AACCUP survey local task force said working in the quality
assurance journey of the university has helped them gain more sense of ownership of the university’s work.
AACCUP is Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines. The agency sent a 19-member survey team on June 17 to 19, 2019 to check on the compliance of eight university programs submitted by the university for Level 1 accreditation. (See related story and another here)

“Then we learned new strategies to improve it,” said Ms. Dinlayan, a member of the College of Arts and Sciences Social Sciences Department.
