We hear you, Viscans!

The Office of the University President through the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs has approved the re-extension of the deadlines for academic requirements and clearance processing.

This re-extension was granted in consideration of the joint request of the University Supreme Student Council (USSC)-Baybay with the Office of the Student Regent, together with the recommendation of the Council of Faculty Deans and Department Heads.

The appeal was made in response to the concerns raised by graduating students, particularly those who are still completing thesis defenses, revisions, and the corresponding approval processes. It was likewise supported by projections on the number of students who have yet to fully complete their academic requirements and clearance.

We thank the university administration for its consideration and responsiveness to the concerns of the graduating class.
