Message of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs
Your effectiveness and efficiency as President of the
Republic is founded on the spirit of rules and regulations that guided
your sincere and humble services as inspired by your extreme faith in
God.
This is the essence of words uttered by Rev. Fr. Antonio Pion
in honor of the late President of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay.
Borrowing the context of the same words from Father Pion in
praise of the late President of the Republic, I find it most befitting to
assume that your success and proficiency as students of this university
is deeply founded and anchored in the spirit and provisions of the
student manual that will guide you in all your undertakings with the
good grace of your faith in God.
The birth of the manual brings about new guidelines that
assure our students of proper direction, well-defined procedures and
technicalities of activities, and clear policies about students rights and
responsibilities that ensure every student of the Batangas State
University the best channels to moral-academic excellence leading to
the achievement of the mission and vision set by our university.
The Office of the Vice-President for Academic Affairs
congratulates the committee that structured and crafted the student
manual and all the individuals who in their simple ways helped in the
accomplishment of this document.
I am certain that your expectations and mine are focused to a
common desire that you and I would live by the provisions of the
student manual.
I remain hopefully thankful.

activities.
2) To attain the objectives, the program assists the students to:
a. know and understand their own capabilities and potential in order to gain
personal satisfaction and professional excellence;
b. meet and resolve their own problems as they emerge and to make wise choices,
adjustments, and decisions; and
c. use their knowledge, skills, and potentials, not only for themselves and their
families but also for the service of common people.

personnel, faculty members, and administrators who request for guidance and
counseling services and in improving the teaching learning environment.

Information and Communications Technology Services Office
The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is critical to the continued success of
our University. It is very important to all of us as individuals. We rely heavily on desktop
computers and laptops we connect to the network; utilize our email and other internet
services; the applications and programming languages we used to automate processes and
create reports, spreadsheets, and presentations.
The Universitys campus computer network is progressively expanding with more than 80
network devices servicing at least 250 connections in Main Campus 1, over 150 connections in
Main Campus 2, and more in extension campuses. This network includes a wireless component
with over a hundred wireless clients utilizing the BSU Wireless service, as well as over fifteen
Wireless Access Points implemented across the Engineering Building and ICT Center Building in
Main Campus 2, and at the Main Campus 1. The wireless network complements the existing
campus computer cabled network infrastructure by allowing students and staff to connect
from a variety of locations to the network and the Internet, accepting connections from
desktop and laptop computers. The University relies heavily on this network infrastructure for
the delivery of academic and administrative services.
Infrastructure is the underlying foundation for the ICT applications and services which support
significantly the different University processes. Upgrading and maintaining infrastructure
usually involves a large investment, requires significant resources and typically takes time to
implement. However, with the utmost support from the Administration, the ICT Office is
persistently upgrading the BSU Network system.
By April 2009, the University will be establishing a data center facility and internet
laboratories in almost all campuses. This data center facility will be equipped with top of the
line hardware including IBM blade servers and IBM system storage with a capacity of 48TB.
Extension campuses will also be provided with wired and wireless internet laboratories to
replenish their existing ICT facility. Internet connection will also be upgraded to a higher
bandwidth capacity, hopefully to accommodate all students using the Universitys online
services (Student Portal, Online Grade Verification System, among others).
Lipa City and Balayan campuses will now be equipped with a Cisco Network Laboratory to be
used by all students taking Information Technology Education (ITE) related programs. This
laboratory package will have three modular routers and two 24-port catalyst switches which
will be used in the performance of laboratory experiments and designs in consonance with the
Cisco Academy Online Curriculum.
The Universitys telecommunications system will also be upgraded from analog to digital VOIP
FXO PCI Modules with IP phones. This telecommunications system will centralized all
communications, exploiting the 4MB and 2MB Direct Internet Access connection in the Main
campus 1 and 2, respectively.
