Preface Message
Words link together and all human activities form a connecting
bond in every human relationship. After series of consultations with the
University officials and administrators, faculty members, student body
officers and those who were extensively involved in academic affairs, this
Revised Student Handbook (2009) came into print.
This Revises Student Handbook (2009) contains salient
information on the University’s operation, policies and regulations
concerning the Welfare of the students. It is concerned with their day-to-
day living in the University community, the place where they not only seek
knowledge and skills, but also learn and develop better ways of living with
their authorities and peers. This revised reference aims to furnish the
student-clientele with a better understanding of their rights and privileges ,
security and welfare; it also hopes to provide a clearer comprehension of
their duties and responsibilities and the direction they should take when
the need arises. This second revision of Student Handbook is done to
integrate admission and registration-related policies and procedures
among SUC Institutions for the commonality, uniformity and standardized
policies to conform with the objectives of the National Association of
Registrars of state Universities and Colleges (NARSUC).
This Handbook, Therefore, serves as a simple but important tool
or guide for students to maximize their efforts in enhancing their individual
potentials and to maximize obstacles that may hamper development and
relationships among individuals and groups within the institution.
Furthermore, the text serves to enhance and preserve the culture of
excellence which the University is striving for.
This Revised Student Handbook (2009) covers the following
topics: Program Offerings, Academic Policies, Rights of Students, Duties
and responsibilities of Students, Code of Discipline, and other vital
information that every student must know.
It is hoped that this Revised Handbook be an easy, handy and
useful guide for students to develop the right attitudes, actions and
behavior in their pursuit of development and success.

As a newly converted University in the Province, It is our great
desire to enhance our delivery of service and to perfectly mold the
students of the present generation to become competitive citizens of the
future. It is indeed with profound appreciation that I extend my sincerest
and reserved acknowledgement to all the members of the committee who
collectively shared their knowledge and competence in the preparation of
this Student Handbook.
This is now a manifestation of our unified stand and common
direction to achieve unity and solidarity as one family in the service that
we have chosen. Our main service is education. Through this Student
Handbook, we will be guided of the implementing Rules and Guidelines
of this University. Our policies and guidelines are transparent basically
for our primary clientele, our poor but deserving students. Having this
handbook can absolutely increase our eminence as a University offering
quality education despite the complex demand of globalization.
Let us always remember the core values that we hold which form
the foundation on which we perform, work and conduct ourselves .
Indeed, we have an entire universe of values, but some of them are so
primary, so important to us that throughout the changes in the society,
government, politics, and technology, they are still the core values that
we will live by. Patriotism, Respect, Integrity, Zeal and Excellence are
among the greatest values that we must stand for.
My dear students, as you continue stirring your vessel towards
the harbor of success, may you get nearer into the realization that through
this University your future will be brightly put to shape. Let us unite and
be involved in supporting and praying for the success of Sultan Kudarat
State University for the greater glory of God.
MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT!
