STI Negros granted autonomous status

STI West Negros University (STIWNU) has been granted autonomous status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), allowing the institution to join an exclusive group of 77 autonomous universities across the country, and becoming the first STI campus to receive this distinction.

“The autonomous status is a validation that everything we have been doing over the past decade is aligned with our mission to serve our students and our community,” said STIWNU executive vice president and chief operating officer, Dr. Ryan Mark Molina.

The recognition is in accordance with CHED’s Memorandum Order No.7, which solidifies the STIWNU’s autonomous standing.

Autonomous status is given to universities that demonstrate exceptional performance in board exams, high graduate employability rates, and superior curricula.

Universities granted autonomy enjoy a range of privileges, including priority access to government funding and scholarships, enabling them to enhance their facilities and resources. Additionally, these institutions are exempt from certain graduate documentation processes, streamlining the transition from graduation to employment or further education.
