This was administered to the administrators, academic council, faculty, students, and alumni. Statistical treatment such as frequency percentage distribution, and measures of central tendencies and document analysis were employed. Results of the study led to the collusion that good practices were demonstrated in most of the key result areas, especially in governance and management system achievement, and development of plans and delivery of service.
