P AACCUP Level 1 Accreditation BEED I.4.5.6 Accomplishment/ Progress Reports

LANNING AND DEVELOPMENT OFFICE NARRATIVE REPORT FOR 2020 ACCOMPLISHMENTS HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES A. Screening of Qualified Applicants In line with the thrust of Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz of making West Visayas State University a hub of excellence in the Visayas Region, WVSU-HCC tried to improve its standard and practices in operation and services. In particular, the Registrar office has continuously took its part of helping the organization achieved its goals and objectives by selecting qualified applicants who are willing to undergo training and education, the WVSU-HCC way. Historically, the enrolment of WVSU-HCC started with a humble beginning of 202 students in 2006, 235 in 2007, 318 in 2009. In 2016 with 924 students, it has produced a top-notcher in the Licensure Examination for Teachers, a valid proof that WVSU-HCC has strengthened its selection and retention policy as well as its curriculum program. The Registrar office enrolled 975 students in 2020 even under the potent threat of COVID. These numbers of enrolees was achieved because of the schools partnership with Local Government Units who served as centers of enrolment of our students using the “drop box” method. Students did not need to go to school to enrol but rather pick- up their enrolment form and submit the same through their LGU for checking and enrolling at WVSU-HCC. Likewise, the Registrar office, as the record keeper of student’s record and other data, has established a bulletin of information to provide the immediate community with data related to enrolment trend, dropout-rate, admission trend and the like. It has also provided data needed for the series of evaluation of the campus like Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) and Preliminary Survey Visit (PSV) for BSED, BEED, BPED, BSIT and BSHM. Amidst COVID, the Registrar office has served as liaison between the focal persons of LGU, in the distribution and retrieval of module of the students. These LGU’s served as the pick-up and drop-off centers of the modules. The Registrar office is continuously doing its work of submitting reports to Commission on Higher Education, Philippine Regulation Commission, WVSU Main Campus and other agencies. Likewise, it continuously prepares and issues Transcript of Records, Credentials, Diploma and other related documents which maybe requested by the students.

B. Quality Assurance In the pursuit of the campus to deliver quality instruction and services to her clienteles, the office of Quality Assurance would like to highlight the following accomplishments: a. Orientation on Accreditation: Last January 29, 2020 an orientation for the preparation of Pre- Survey Visit (PSV) was conducted by Dr. Dolly Rose Temelo and Miss Ludylie Buendia from the office of the Director of Instruction and Quality Assurance (DIQA) main campus.

RESEARCH SERVICES The West Visayas State University Himamaylan City Campus (WVSU-HCC) has paved way in the pursuit of conducting research in various fields alongside with the University President, Dr. Joselito Villaruz’s vision. In 2020, the campus had undergone a lot of changes since her integration through Republic Act 11308. The Research Office had participated in the series of evaluation for the campus which include Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) and Preliminary Survey Visit (PSV) for the five programs (Bachelor of Secondary Education, Bachelor in Elementary Education, Bachelor of Physical Education, Bachelor in Information Technology and Bachelor of Hospitality Management). In September 2020, faculty researchers from the campus had crafted seven research proposals for the screening. Fortunately, these seven proposals were accepted for the technical review which was held last October 26, 2020. The seven group of researchers cooperated in the said activity. This was very helpful in the refinement and improvement of the research proposals ready for the In-house Review. On November 12, 2020, the faculty researchers presented their proposals in the different thrusts: Poverty Alleviation, Teaching and Learning Initiatives, Disease Management, and Environmental Awareness. At the concluding month of the same year, the office conducted a seminar-workshop on research with theme, “Revisiting the University’s Research Thrust and Agenda” with Dr. Greta Gabinete as the Resource Speaker.
