Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU) has successfully completed a comprehensive, university-wide certification audit. This accomplishment establishes a precedent within the higher education sector, demonstrating its commitment to quality and excellence across all its campuses (NLUC, MLUC, and SLUC) and operating units (NARTDI, SRDI, and OUS).

Distinct from conventional audits that typically focus on specific departments or individual campuses, the DMMMSU certification audit encompassed the entire university system. This scope included academic services, research services, extension services, and general and support services across the multiple operational units, reflecting a holistic compliance and quality assurance approach.

This comprehensive certification audit solidifies DMMMSU’s position as a higher education leader and establishes a benchmark for other universities striving to enhance their institutional integrity. The successful implementation and maintenance of a unified quality management system within a large, multi-campus institution demonstrates the feasibility and value of such an approach. This achievement ensures that all stakeholders – students, faculty members, and administrative staff – benefit from streamlined processes and consistently elevated standards across the entire university system. Further, this demonstrates that achieving excellence on a grand scale within a complex higher education system is feasible.   

With this certification, DMMMSU reaffirms its unwavering commitment to providing world-class education and services. The university’s leadership emphasizes that this achievement manifests the collective dedication and hard work of the entire DMMMSU community.

“DMMMSU is committed to leveraging this certification as a catalyst for continuous improvement and innovation in education, striving for ongoing enhancement of institutional excellence,” Dr. Jaime I. Manuel, Jr., said in an interview. (By Ayu)
