Accreditation is an important process of continuous improvement through evaluation by peer institutions of high reputation, guided by established quality standard. This important task enables the educational institution to mirror itself against the backdrop of ideals and best practices.

With another herculean task at hand, I would like to express my gratefulness to the men and women of Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHMSU) - Talisay (Main) Campus for their unselfish commitment and dedication to hurdle the challenges. To the accreditors, please accept our gratitude and appreciation for your generous time and expertise in ushering us towards the quest for excellence.

Accreditation indeed has afforded this community the opportunity to revisit its vision and direction in providing learning experience to students and serving better the stakeholders. We have to keep the drive and continue the legacy of genuine public service.

Thank you and congratulations to all of us!

Accreditation is viewed as an opportunity to affirm or re-affirm the commitment of Carlos Hilado Memorial State University (CHMSU) to uphold the standard for providing quality services to the academic community. The institution, being the youngest state university in the province of Negros Occidental, envisions to be “A leading GREEN institution of higher learning in the global community by 2030.” To realize its vision, CHMSU is pushing itself to greater heights.

The academic community acknowledges the need for an external lens to determine whether the Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives of the university are geared towards its realization. Thus, the institution is subjecting itself to the AACCUP Level 3 Phase 2 Survey Visit for the different curricular programs in CHMSU-Talisay (Main Campus) from August 22 to August 24, 2022.

The CHMSU community is indeed grateful to the AACCUP team of accreditors for sharing their time and expertise as they evaluate the different curricular programs in the undergraduate and graduate studies of CHMSU-Talisay.

I am wishing all the best for the CHMSU-AACCUP Task Force and AACCUP Team of Accreditors as we continue our journey towards education for sustainable development.

Carlos Hilado Memorial State University commits to delivering quality higher education services. This commitment is reflected in our pursuit of AACCUP Accreditation, an achievement we all take great pride in.

I’m grateful to the AACCUP management including all our accreditors, who will spend their precious time, share their expertise, and assist and guide us in sustaining quality education. Rest assured that the results of this visit will be counted as one of the inputs in our future action plans.

Mabuhay ang CHMSU at Mabuhay ang AACCUP. Thank you very much and please continue to pray for the safety and security of everyone.

God bless us all!
