!. RATIONALE

lfugao State University (IFSU) is the lone premier higher leaming

institution in the Province of lfugao. lt is one of the recognized active
performing State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Cordillera
Administrative Region (CAR) and in the Philippines.

Established in 1920 as a Farm Settlement School, IFSU, through the

years, has undergone remarkable transformation. ln 1959, it was renamed
as lfugao Pilot Opportunity School of Agriculture (IPOSA). ln 1967, the
high school department was established and subsequently renamed as
Payon Bugan Pilot Opportunity School of Agriculture (PBPOSA). ln 1972,
il was elevated into lfugao Agricultural and technical College (IATC)
offering secondary and lerliaryl undergraduate course. ln "1982, it was
further expanded into lfugao State College of Agriculture and Forestry
(ISCAF) offering various baccalaureate and master's degree courses. ln
2009, IFSU marked a major leap by becoming a comprehensive State
University by virtue of Republic Act 9720. Currently, it has six campuses
spread in the province: Lamut (Main Campus); Aguinaldo; Hapao,
Hungduan; Lagawe; Potia, Alfonso Lista; and Tinoc.

With IFSU's vision to be a globally recognized university, the College of

Open Distance Education and Transnational Education (CODETE) of
lfugao State University (IFSU) is created and approved through BOR

program implementation to cover not only onshore but offshore clienteles.

Thus, this operational guideline is crafted to serve as a supplemental

document of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered into by IFSU
and all partner agencies in the implementation of Distance Education. This
guideline is generally pattemed from the Revised Graduate Manual in the
implementation of its graduate programs; however, it was simplified for
easier understanding. Other policies not contained herein must be
refened to the graduate manual, CMO No. 15, series of 2019 and CMO
