SEAL OF EXCELLENCE The seal represents the role of MSU-IIT in technological advancement. The solid circle represents the nucleus of scientific and technical knowledge upon which technology depends. The three graduated lines signify the increasing challenges and responsibilities a student in technology faces from year to year. The need for expansion, advancement, and excellence in technology is projected by the lines directed outward of the triangle, the symbol of stability. Red signifies the determination of MSU-IIT in pursuing her programs while yellow radiates a bright future ahead.

As we take on this new school year, we renew once more our commitment to the quest of attaining a research university status. In this endeavor, we need to join hands in changing our attitudes, in working towards excellence in all our activities—big or small—we need to remind ourselves that it is in unity and focus that we can achieve excellent results. We should begin the new school year by working at improved faculty, staff and student relationships, at improved systems and services within the Institute and among the general community. The end result is always efficiency within, and from the ranks in support of top management in carrying out new challenges that should make the people we serve happy and satisfied.

SET Hallway

Let’s have a fresh start. Let’s make everyone notice that our Institute is synonymous with efficiency, and excellence is its middle name.

OVERVIEW The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) is an external unit and one of the ten campuses of the Mindanao State University System. Established on July 12, 1968 as provided for by Republic Act (RA) 5363, the institute has continually provided quality education to thousands of students from almost everywhere in the Philippines. These students flock to the institute every semester with one goal in mind - to study in MSU-IIT. We are humbled by the fact that these students choose and even dream to enroll in MSU-IIT. When asked why they choose this school, they strongly believe and admire our commitment to academic excellence. We envision MSU-IIT as a world-class institution of higher learning renowned for its excellence in science and technology and for its commitment to the holistic development of the individual and society. To live with our commitment, we offer our students a wide array of more than 115 academic programs, which include 43 graduate programs in a variety of fields including education, business, arts and humanities, engineering, information technology, the natural sciences, and mathematics. Our students are given opportunities to collaborate with more than 400 distinguished full-time faculty members passionate about teaching, research, extension, and community development. For these, MSU-IIT has received numerous institutional awards. Based on the standards of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), MSU-IIT is a Center of Excellence in Mathematics and Chemistry, Center of Development in Physics and Biology, Center of Development for Excellence in Information and Communication Technology, Center of Development in Ceramics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Material Science Engineering. We are the Zonal Research Center for Regions XII, IX, & ARMM. MSU-IIT is also known as the Information and Communication Technology Learning Hub for Northern Mindanao and the Virtual Center for Technology Innovation - Microelectronics based on the standards of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Many believed that we have achieved this far because of the powerful combination of big-university opportunities and a friendly, small-community campus setting. We are a public, non-residential, mid-sized, comprehensive university with a special emphasis on science and technology located in downtown Iligan City, Philippines - a small, safe, and vibrant city that is a regional hub of culture and commerce. Our students not only enjoy an intensely personalized academic experience but also participate in an extensive array of extracurricular activities that include more than 60 student organizations and a highly successful internationally-respected music and performing arts program. Not surprisingly, our graduates become wellrounded leaders in every field you can think of. Students come to MSU-IIT to fulfill their dreams. They choose to stay in MSU-IIT because they know that it is the ticket to their dreams. Not just that, MSU-IIT is so inviting. Our students are delighted with the warmth of welcome they receive, the ease with which they become part of this academic community, and the friendships they build here. At the end of the day, it makes us proud even more to know that our students are here because they feel at home. Indeed, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a home away from home. ii

TABLE OF CONTENTS Student’s ID & Personal Data About IIT

INTRODUCTION BRIEF HISTORY OF MSU-IIT The history of the Institute goes way back to 1946 with the establishment of the Iligan City National High School (ICHS). In 1956, the ICHS was converted into the Lanao Technical School (LTS) under the Bureau of Vocational Education (BEV). In 1965, RA 4626 converted LTS into the Northern Mindanao Institute of Technology (NMIT). However, this law was not implemented. On July 12, 1968, RA 5363 integrated LTS into the MSU System. During the 62nd Meeting of the MSU Board of Regents on March 12, 1975, the first comprehensive reorganizational plan of the Institute was approved under BOR Resolution No. 894, Series of 1975. This plan made the Institute the first autonomous unit of the MSU System. In the years that followed, MSU-IIT continually expanded and developed its academic programs. While doing so, it also enhanced research, infrastructure, and cultural activities.

UNIVERSITY HYMN HIMNO NG PAMANTASANG MINDANAO Music by: Lucio San Pedro | Lyrics by: Angelito Flores

Silahis ang katulad mong nagsabog ng liwanag Ng pag-asa’t hangarin ng pag-unlad. Ang pook ng Mindanao tinanglaw at pinalad, Nang ika’y isilang na dakila ang hangad. Ating ipagkapuri Itong Pamantasan, Ang buhay at pag-ibig sa kanya’y iaalay; Saan man naroroon ay bigyang karangalan, Dakilang paaralan Pamantasang Mindanao.

1. Involve subjects within the same department if possible; if not, the two subjects concerned must be allied to each other. 2. Be between subjects carrying the same number of units; and 3. Be recommended by the adviser and by the heads of departments concerned. All petitions for substitution must be submitted to the office of the Dean or Director concerned before 12 percent of regular class meetings have been held during the term. Any petition submitted thereafter shall be considered for the following semester. No substitution shall not be allowed for any subject prescribed in the curriculum in which the student has failed or received a grade of â&#x20AC;&#x153;5â&#x20AC;? except when in the opinion of the department offering the prescribed subject or the faculty (in units without any department) the proposed substitute covers substantially the same subject matter as the required subject. All application for substitution shall be acted upon by the Dean or Director concerned.

I. Transfer of Students | (Articles 351-352, MSU-Code) Any student transferring from any college or university in the Philippines shall submit his transcript of records at least one month prior to registration and may be admitted to the University in probationary basis until such time as he shall have validated or repeated all the subjects taken outside the University which are required for his course subject to the following conditions:

1. He may not be allowed to enroll in a subject or subjects the pre-requisites of which, taken elsewhere, have not yet been validated or repeated in the University. 2. Courses being offered for advanced credits must be validated at the rate of 18 units in a term within a period not exceeding four terms from the date for registration privileges. 3. Failure to comply with this requirement will mean the cancellation of his registration privileges.

Provided, however, That validation may be waived in certain subjects where in the judgment of the department concerned the

quality of performance in the higher or related courses in which he is registered in the University demonstrated that he can carry on satisfactorily the academic requirements of the University. Provided, moreover, That request for waiver or validation must be initiated by the student concerned within a period not exceeding four terms from the date of his admission. Provided, Finally, that such requests must be favorably recommended by the department head concerned and approved by the Dean or Director of the College. The University shall give no credit for any course taken by any of its students in any other university, college, or school unless the taking of such course was expressly authorized. The authorization shall be in writing to be recorded by the Registrar and should specially describe the subjects authorized and the name of the University or college in which said subject shall be taken.

J. Advanced Credits A student who is duly matriculated or whose application for admission has already been approved may apply for advanced credit for works done in another institution of collegiate standing upon: (1) presentation of credentials showing that he has attended and passed in said institution courses fully equivalent to those given in Mindanao State University for which advanced credit is sought, and (2) passing the validating tests given for the purpose by the department concerned (Art. 353). Application for advanced credit shall be made on the prescribed form to the Dean or Director of the academic unit who shall recommend such application to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. If the Dean is satisfied that the application is in order, he shall cause the proper department head or division chairman to conduct the validating tests to begin one week prior to the first day of registration at the opening of each term and to end one week after the last day of registration. There shall be no payment for validating tests taken during this period. A validating test may be held outside of this period with the consent of the department head or division chairman and the approval of the Dean upon payment of the prescribed fee per subject (Art. 354). Courses taken by transfer student in government colleges and universities or in institutions accredited by the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines, Association of Christian Colleges and Universities may be validated and accredited by Mindanao State University (Art. 355). The grant of advanced credits for courses which are offered in other institutions but

which have no equivalent in this University shall be left to the discretion of the faculty of the unit concerned (Art. 356). Advanced standing may also be granted by the Dean or Director of the Academic unit upon approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to students graduated from an institution recognized by the Government for subject listed in the course or courses duly recognized. Advanced credit for work constituting only part of courses recognized by the Government shall be awarded by the departments or divisions concerned in accordance with the preceding Article (Art. 357). Courses taken for one year and satisfactorily completed in the United States and foreign schools duly recognized and Philippine Military Schools on collegiate level shall be given general advanced credits equivalent to one year, or not more than 30 units of general credit in Mindanao State University, Provided, That courses of less than a year in the United States and in the Philippine Military Training Schools shall be given pro-rata advanced credit on the basis of the forfeited rule. The awarding of corresponding general advanced credits to individuals concerned on the basis of the above principle is a matter of administration left with the Office of the Dean or Director concerned (Art. 358). For the purpose of the preceding rule, Military Service Schools are those operated by the Armed Forces of the United States or the Republic of the Philippines. For students enrolled for the first time, credit for courses taken in American Military Service Schools may be granted in courses duly evaluated by the American Council of Education in the case of the Graduate level. In case of courses above the bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree level for which graduate college or school concerned and the Vice President for Academic Affairs (Art. 359). Each college or school may promulgate rules for the admission of transfer students and the granting of advanced credits provided they are not inconsistent with the general rules set by the University (Art. 360).

K. Integration Period A division or department chairman, with the approval of the Dean or Director, may authorize any member of his unit to suspend normal classes for a period not exceeding three (3) days before the final examination to enable students to review; Provided, That in case of colleges and schools having no divisions, departments, the suspension may be done by any member of the faculty, but also subject to the approval of the Dean or Directors, Provided, Further, That faculty members who have been au-

thorized to suspend their classes shall keep regular hours for consultation work (Art. 361).

L. Examinations The maximum period for each final examination shall be four (4) hours (Art. 62).

M. Honorable Dismissal A student in good standing who desires to sever his connection with his college shall present to the Dean or Director a written petition signed by his parent or guardian for this effect. If the petition is granted, the student shall be given honorable dismissal. Without such petition and favorable action, no record of honorable dismissal shall be made (Art. 411). Honorable dismissal is voluntary withdrawal from the university with the consent of the Dean or Director. All indebtedness to the University must be settles before a statement of honorable dismissal will be issued. The statement indicated that the student withdrew in good standing. If the student has been dropped from the rolls on account of poor scholarship, a statement to that effect may be added to the honorable dismissal (Art, 412). A student who leaves the University for reason of suspension, dropping, or expulsion due to disciplinary action shall not be entitled to honorable dismissal. Should he be permitted to receive his transcript of records or the certification of his academic status in the University, it shall contain a statement of the disciplinary action rendered against him (Art. 413).

A mark of “Inc.” shall be given to a student who fails to appear for final examination or to comply with the other prescribed requirements due to illness or other valid reasons. If in the opinion of the Dean or Director the absence from the examination is justified, the student fails to take the final examination for any reason, a grade or “5” is given. “Inc.” must be removed within the prescribed time, otherwise the grades become “5”. The period for the removal grades of “Incomplete”, must not extend beyond one academic year from the time the grade was received. The one-year academic period allowed for the removal shall be interpreted as extending to the regular semestral removal period immediately following the one-year period. If a student passes an examination for the removal of an “Inc.” he shall be given a final grade of “3” or better; if he fails, the final grade shall be “5” (Art. 363). Re-examination shall be permitted only for the purpose of removing “Inc.” grades. A student is not allowed re-examination for the purpose of improving his grade (Art. 356).

O. Removal of Grades of “Incomplete” Examinations for the removal of grades of “Incomplete” may be taken without fees:

a. during the regular examination periods, provided that the subject in which the student failed to take his final examination is included in the schedule of examination for the period during which said removal examination is to

be taken; otherwise, said student is to be charged the prescribed fee; b. during the registration in each semester, Provided, That the examination for a particular subject is taken at the time it is scheduled; and c. within the ten-day period preceding the Christmas vacation in colleges in which there is no inter-semestral vaca tion; Provided, Further, That the examination is taken at the time and place it is scheduled (Art. 374).

Removal examinations may be taken at other times, subject to the provisions of the next succeeding Article, on the recommendation of the Dean or Director and upon payment of the prescribes fee per subject (Art. 375). In no case shall the period for the removal of grades of “Incomplete” extend beyond one academic year from the date the grade was received; Provided, However, That this one-year academic period allowed for the removal shall be interpreted as extending to the regular semestral removal period immediately following the one-year period, and Provided, further, That students on any University Scholarship/Grants shall remove “Inc.” grades before the close of registration in the next succeeding term (Art. 376).

P. Scholastic Delinquency Any student whose scholastic performance in class is below a grade of “3” or “passing” shall be subject to the following rules:

Warning

Probation

Any student who at the end of the term obtains final grades below “3” in 25% to 49% of the total number of academic units for which he is registered shall be warned by the Dean to improve his work.

Any student who obtains at the end of the term final grades below “3” in 50% to 75% of the total number of academic units in which he has final grades shall be placed on probation for the succeeding term and his load shall be limited to the extent to be determined by the Dean; Provided, That his shall not apply to students who received final grades in less than 6 academic units.

Probation may be remove by:

a. raising the number of units passed to over 50% of the total number of units in which the student has final grades by passing removal examinations, or waiver examinations or by removing the “Inc.” grades before the close of the units in which he has final grades in the succeeding term, or b. passing in 100% of the units in which he has final grades in the succeeding term.

Dismissal

Permanent Disqualification

a. Any student, who at the end of the term, obtains final grades below “3” in at least 76% of the total number of aca demic units in which he receives final grades shall be dropped from the roll of his college or school; Provided, That this shall not apply to students who received final grades in less than 9 academic units. b. Any student on probation in accordance with Rule 2 who once again fails in 50% or more of the total number of units in which he receives final grades shall be dropped from the roll of his college or school. a. Any student who, at the end of the term, obtains final grades below “3” in 100% of the academic units in which he is given final grades shall be permanently barred from the readmission to any college or school of the University; Provided, further, That this shall not apply to students who received final grades in less than 12 academic units. b. Likewise, any student who has dropped in accordance with the Rule 3 (a) or (b) and once again fails, shall not be eligible for re-admission to any college or school of the University. c. The scholarship rule regarding permanent disqualification (Rule 4), does not apply to cases where the instructor concerned has certified that the grades of “5” were due to the student’s authorized dropping of the subject and not to poor scholarship. However, if the dropping takes place after the mid-term and the student’s class standing is poor, his grades of “5: shall be counted against him for the purpose of this scholarship rule. The Committee on Scholarship and Delinquency shall deal with these cases on their individual merits and shall recom mend to the President/Chancellor that the student be dismissed and be allowed to transfer to another department or college, or be placed on probation; but in no case of re-admission shall the action be lighter than probation.

OVERVIEW The College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) is home to the four (4) internationally acclaimed groups in Southern Philippines- the Integrated Performing Arts Guild, Kalimulan Cultural Dance Troupe, the Octava Choral Society and the Mindanao Creative Writers Guild. It is also the home of renowned artists, playwrights, poets, language experts, historians, sociologists, community organizers, and peace advocates, who have been constantly impacting the lives of the Mindanao community. With its strong faculty force, CASS offers six (6) undergraduate degree programs, namely: English, Filipino, Sociology, History, Political Science, and Psychology. It likewise offers six (6) masters and two (2) doctoral degree programs. It has gained the distinction of Level II status by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) in all six (6) departments of the College and is recently set for Level III accreditation by AACCUP this school year 2010-2011. Such accomplishment adds prestige to CASS and the Institute in general, justified by the possession of quality standards in the Social Sciences; hence, a triumph shared by only few other Social Science campuses in the Philippines. CASS also offers the two-year (2) General Education program which caters to students who unfortunately did not meet the required passing rate under the System Admission Scholarship Exam (SASE) of the Mindanao State University (MSU) and those who were not admitted in some programs; thus, students are privileged to have equal access to quality education.

CASS MISSION To promote a peaceful and sustainable society through the development of globally competent, socially responsible, culturally sensitive and humanistic scholars and professionals.

OVERVIEW The School of Computer Studies (SCS) is responsible for the teaching, research and extension functions of the Information and Communication Technology Center (ICTC). To this end, it offers degree and non-degree programs in the graduate and undergraduate levels. These programs are carried through on campus or distance mode by formal, non-formal or informal systems. Under SCS, the various programs were Computer Science and Computer Applications from the College of Engineering, Information Technology from the College of Business Administration and Accountancy, and Electronics and Communications Technology from the School of Engineering Technology. These departments were virtually removed from their mother units to form SCS, not without misgivings from them. But whatever was lost to the unit concerned was to be the Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gain as we hoped to see the benefits to a more focused implementation of the IT programs.
