ISU-AC: Ready for Limited F2F Classes this 2nd Semester After two years of utilizing Flexible Teaching-Learning Modality, Isabela State University Angadanan Campus has finally undergone its very first Ocular / Site Inspection on March 3, 2022, in preparation for the limited face-to-face classes this second-semester S.Y. 2021- 2022.The abovementioned inspection aimed to determine the campus’ extent of compliance to CHED-DOH Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2021-004: Guidelines on the Implementation of Limited Face-to-Face Classes for All Programs of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Areas Under Alert Levels System for COVID -19 Response. With the unanimous decision of the ISU–AC Crisis Management Committee to reopen the campus, the following programs have been identified to participate in limited face-to-face classes:
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology – Major in Automotive Technology – Major in Electrical Technology – Major in Electronics Technology – Major in Food and Service Management
Bachelor of Technical-Vocational Teacher Education
Diploma in Agricultural Technology – Bachelor in Agricultural Technology (DAT-BAT)
Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
Though particular programs have been selected, not all sections and levels will be able to participate. In the ISU–AC CMC meeting, it has been decided that only selected classes with laboratory subjects will be included. This way, flocking and overcrowding on various buildings can be avoided, and the safety and welfare of the students, faculty, and staff can be ensured. ISU-AC also added additional washing stations on all buildings, foot traffic markers, and health protocol tarpaulins all over the campus in preparation for the inspection. Upon the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) confirmation, the campus underwent its pre-assessment on March 2, 2022, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm.
The official ocular/site inspection started at 9:00 am and ended at 12:00 pm. Representatives from DILG, Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Rural Health Unit (RHU) inspected the 9 specified buildings which will be utilized for the limited face-to-face classes. These buildings include the Administration Building, Student Services Center, Information Technology Building, Science Laboratory, Industrial Technology Building, Automotive Technology Building, Hospitality Management Building, Food Technology Laboratory, and the hostel, which will be utilized as an isolation room. At the end of the inspection, all buildings were granted their safety seals and were given individual certificates, marking them safe and ready for limited F2F use.
ISU-AC would like to express its sincerest gratitude to the following individuals for making all of this possible. We at ISU-AC, deeply appreciate your services to our community. May God bless you all!
