The College of Management prepares for the distribution of module.

    Capiz State University (CapSU) Burias, Campus on Monday, October 5 has formally opened the First Semester classes for Academic Year (A.Y) 2020-2021 in compliance with the advisory released by the Office of the University President. 

    This was after having one postponement of classes on August 17 under Advisory No. 3 Series of 2020 received from the University President, Dr. Editha C. Alpfon, in observance to the required health standards enforced by International-Agency Task Force (IATF) due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the Province of Capiz. 

    “I am very glad that despite the global pandemic, CapSU remains steadfast in upholding to its commitment to public service. Though many things have become different from the usual, yet, our goal in providing quality education and services that adhere to international standards continues with that unwavering conviction.” Dr. Lodivico C. Olmo Jr., Campus Administrator said on a Virtual Orientation Program on September 5. 

    Based on the video presented during the program, in the New Normal setting, the University will provide modular and online classes. 

    For the online classes, a course facilitator will reach out to the students. They will utilize facebook group chats and facebook conferencing in case the students are having connectivity issue. 

    On the other hand, for modular classes, the module will be distributed monthly. 

    The process in scheduling of module distribution is campus-based. Students will be contacted by their course facilitator and after one month the work or answer sheet will be returned by the student’s parents or guardians for below 21 years old to the assigned area.

     Afterwards, another set of modules will be taken by student’s parents or guardians. Furthermore, for the students who are far from the University and are affected by lockdown, the module will be delivered by the University Representative or through a courier. 

    All these are done by means of following the minimum health standards, guidelines and protocols imposed by IATF and Department of Health (DOH). Dr. Lodivico believes that this academic year is truly altered, as there is a big shift from face-to-face classroom instruction to virtual and modular modes of delivery. 

    However, he assured that the Campus will continue its best services that the students truly deserve. “This is our best way of showing our gratitude to you for bestowing your trust and confidence CapSU Burias, Campus to be your nourisher of knowledge.” 

    On the same virtual program, Dr. Editha C. Alfon, the University President also welcomed the students. 

    “This is new and I do hope that you will be patient enough with your faculty, fellow students so that we can make adjustment until we can pass this stage of challenging times.” Dr. Alfon reminded.
