The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) received the original copies of nine (9) Certificates of Program Compliance (COPCs) for its graduate programs from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), through the Office of Programs and Standards Development (OPSD), on November 10, 2026.

Initially awarded by CHED in 2025, the COPCs affirm that the University’s respective graduate programs have met the prescribed minimum requirements and standards for program compliance. The original documents were formally turned over by CHED Commissioner Dr. Myrna O. Mallari, Chairperson of the NEUST Board of Regents, to NEUST President Dr. Rhodora R. Jugo during a Board of Regents meeting, attended by other members of the Board and Dr. Angelo R. Santos, Director of the Curriculum Development and Evaluation Office.

This accomplishment reflects the collective efforts and contributions of key university officials and academic administrators, particularly Engr. Feliciana P. Jacoba, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Dr. Jocelyn B. Cruz, former Dean of the Graduate School; and Dr. Nancy Joy N. Mangansat, current Dean of the Graduate School and former Director of the Curriculum Development and Evaluation Office.

The formal receipt of the original COPCs further reinforces NEUST’s commitment to academic excellence, regulatory compliance, and the continuous enhancement of its graduate programs to ensure the delivery of quality higher education.
