For the higher education sector, continuity of learning is the main goal, but keeping students safe is a primary concern. In line with risk-based public health standards of the Department of Health (DOH), CHED is espousing the implementation of flexible learning by all public and private HEIs to ensure continuity of learning amidst the pandemic and community quarantine guidelines. Academic preparations for flexible learning are underway, however, preparations for the operation of student affairs and services (SAS) have not been given more attention than necessary and yet, SAS plays a crucial role in providing equitable learning opportunities for all students wherever they are or whatever their economic situation may be. 

Therefore, as we shift to flexible learning, there shall also be a shift to flexible delivery of SAS. It is for this reason that  set of guidelines is being issued because the backbone to holistic development of students during the pandemic is the continuity of delivery of SAS. 

As a response to the challenges posed by a national consultation organized by the Commission on Higher Education on the adoption and promulgation of the Proposed Guidelines on Flexible Delivery of Student Affairs and Services for implementation by all public and private higher education institutions during the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Bulacan State University Student Affairs and Services (SAS) Continuity Plan shall consider some strategies for online and offline modalities. 

Attached  are the suggested strategies that Bulacan State University may implement for AY 2020-2021 for:
