It is highly committed to provide quality education and services at the highest standards to produce graduates who are globally competitive and great contributors to nation’s economy. To fully nourish, protect and care its manifold clients is a primary concern. And through its dutiful performance of its fourtold mandates, it genuinely serves its valued stakeholders. To realize this vision, the College has institutionalized policies and regulations that are well crafted and designed to instill discipline and order in the community and to suit the needs of the students. Allowing students to pursue academic growth in a community that provides desirable experiences make them productive and engaged to the operations of the College. The Student Manual is the official statement of the College policies and regulations, and expected standards of conduct that are applicable to all students. Policies and regulations are often not more specific than necessary and often are general enough to allow the College to responds to situations in their unique complexities and take into account the variations in values and goals of different academic units and administrative offices. As such, they provide a broad framework that is designed to create a level of consistency. The primary purpose of policies and regulations, and the articulation of the expected standards of student conduct, is to further the vision and mission of the College and to protect the well-being of the community. These formulate policies and regulations enable all the members of the College to function as a community and respond to situations that threaten or violate order and discipline. Making amendments and modifications of the policies and procedures is necessary to address new issues and questions, and to reflect the evolution of our community and the larger society within which our College exists. It is therefore a challenging task for everyone in ISPSC community to understand policies and regulations in a larger context. This will allow us to fully render our services in accordance to our mandates. With high hopes and expectations, our commitment shall be profoundly rooted to the vision we try to achieve which is to transform lives and communities. GLORIA D.
