The Isabela State University (ISU) Cauayan Campus participated in the first leg of the two-day General Orientation and Workshop on Institutional Accreditation, aligning with university-wide efforts to strengthen systems-based quality assurance and evidence-driven institutional practice, held at the Auditorium, Administration Building, May 27.

The session centered on the discourse of Dr. Milabel Enriquez-Ho, Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) Executive Director, who defined institutional accreditation as structured documentation anchored on verifiable systems rather than procedural compliance alone. She emphasized that preparation operates as a continuous institutional function embedded in daily academic and administrative work.

Further, Dr. Enriquez-Ho led Session I on Preparation for the Institutional Accreditation Survey, where she dissected institutional readiness as a strategic process involving alignment of systems prior to external evaluation. She proceeded with Session II on The IA Portfolio: A Guide to Preparing Documents for Institutional Accreditation, stressing the role of institutional records in substantiating operational claims and academic performance.

ISU Cauayan participants engaged in the discussions as part of the broader university delegation, translating the inputs into a working understanding of documentation requirements across governance, instruction, research, extension, student services, and support systems. The engagement strengthened the operational demand to consolidate institutional outputs into coherent and auditable evidence.

The workshop continues for its second leg, where participants are expected to further process institutional data and refine documentation practices in preparation for accreditation review activities.
