AREA I: VISION, MISSION, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Area of Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives is the most fundamental of all the ten (10) areas to be surveyed. Everything in the SUC is justified only to the extent that it realizes its mission, goals and objectives. It is essential, therefore, for the SUC to formulate the mission, goals and objectives based on the philosophy that it should pervade its operation. The SUC is judged by the degree to which its mission, goals, and objectives are attained, not in comparison with others. A. Statement of Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives The Vision is the state the Institution hopes to become in the future. The MGO represents the hierarchy of aims of the Institution. The mission reflects the mandate/aim of the whole state university or state college. The Goals are the aims at the hierarchical structure below the institutional level (the academic college/institute/school); and the Objectives are the aims at the program level, i.e., what the programs hopes to achieve. The SUC shall define its mission in accordance with its legal and educational development mandate and the thrust of the government. The program outcomes are the focus of program accreditation, these are the competencies (knowledge and skills), values and other attributes, which the institution hopes their graduate shall acquire to enable them to complete for employment, locally and internationally. B. Dissemination and Acceptability It is expected that the institution disseminates, and works for the acceptance of the Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives by the stakeholders. In order to facilitate awareness and acceptance, it is good practice that the faculty, non-teaching staff, students, linkages, the community, and other stakeholders are involved in the formulation, review and/or revision of the VMGO. An outcomes-based assessment will focus on the extent to which the program outcomes are attained. Thus, there must be a common understanding and acceptance of the end results of the program by both faculty and the students. C. Congruency of the MGO Statement and Implementation It should be demonstrated that the program objectives (outcomes) are consistent with the College goals, and the College goals to the Mission of the Institution. On a long-term perspective, the accomplishment of the Mission will lead to the realization of the Vision of the institution. The activities and projects that are carried out by the faculty and the students should directly contribute toward the achievement of the program outcomes. D. Documents and Additional Information/Exhibits Documents or printed materials, which serve as data provide information for the Program Performance Profile, and others identified to belong this area, should be available at the Accreditation Center. During the actual survey visit, additional information and exhibits may be added/presented to clarify issues and concerns about the program, as required by visiting team to support the claims in the written report.

AREA VII: LIBRARY The library is the heart of any learning institutions. It is a synergy of people, hardware and software whose purpose is to assist clients in using knowledge and technology to transform and improve their lives. Information and knowledge are essential to the attainment of institutional goals. The way in which they are selected, acquired, stored, accessed and distributed within the institution will, in large measure determine the success of teaching, research and other academic concepts. The institution thrives on clear policies concerning access to, and provision on of information. Thus, the library must take an active role in the development and implementation of these policies. Each institution has a unique vision, mission, goals, and objectives. These are influenced by its philosophy, geographical location and social responsibility. Similarly, as a subsystem of the institution the library has a unique role to perform. A.
