The Commission on Higher Education conducted its regular monitoring of selected academic programs at La Consolacion College Bacolod on Aug. 5, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to academic quality, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.
The CHED monitoring team was composed of Dr. Jose Leonardo Degillo, Dr. John Rey Olpoc, Dr. Benrie James Nufable and Dr. Noraisa Wee.
During the visit, the team met with LCC Bacolod academic administrators and program heads to review the implementation of academic programs and assess their alignment with CHED policies, standards and guidelines.
Representing the institution were Dr. Penny V. Sanchez, vice president for academic affairs, and Dr. Baniline Jone Abantao, assistant vice president for academic affairs and dean of the Graduate School.
Program heads who participated in the monitoring were Dr. Rodjhun B. Navarro, Dr. Romela R. Aujero, Dr. Vincent Raymund Y. Alovera, Dr. Edna D. Fregil, Dr. Janrae A. Sanicas, Dr. Anie O. Diaz and Dr. Lilia A. Militar. Also present were institutional office heads, Mr. Rejay Y. Alvarado, Office of Research and Creative Works, Mr. Felix Adrian D. Dalida, Quality Assurance and Accreditation, and Mr. Adrian Taglorin, Research and Quality Assurance Associate.
The monitoring provided an opportunity for the institution to present its academic practices, program documents and quality assurance initiatives. It also allowed school officials to receive feedback on areas that may be strengthened to support effective program delivery and improved student learning outcomes.
LCC Bacolod said regular external monitoring forms part of its continuing efforts to maintain academic standards and ensure that its programs remain responsive to national requirements and the changing needs of students and industries.
The institution also views the review process as an opportunity to evaluate existing practices, strengthen internal quality assurance mechanisms and identify measures for the further development of its academic offerings.
Through continued engagement with CHED, LCC Bacolod affirmed its commitment to providing relevant, outcomes-based and quality higher education.
