The Instructional Materials Review Committee (IMRC) successfully concluded its preparatory meeting for Cycle 3 of the Core Instructional Materials (Core IM) Review on August 11, 2026, held at the Internet Zone of the Learning Resource Center (LRC).

The meeting was spearheaded by the Committee Chair and duly attended by majority of the IMRC members, namely Dr. Lucille G. Tanguihan (CTE), Dr. Unife O. Cagas (CCIS), Dr. Jessica Rose E. Fernandez (GS), Dr. Jerlou B. Sal (CBT-Tech), Dr. Michelle T. Panganduyon (CAS) and Dr. Angielee G. Camarin (CBT-HM/TM). Also present were members of the Secretariat, Ms. Jessel Mae S. Apole, Ms. Ramilyn Liquigan, and Dr. Irish A. Oxtero.

During the meeting, Dr. Angielee G. Camarin was elected as Vice Chair of the IMRC, in accordance with Section 5 of the SNSU Policy on Instructional Materials Review and Certification.

Among the key concerns deliberated were the calendar of activities for Cycle 3, the possible engagement of external reviewers as short-term IM experts, the finalization of the checklist for grounds for automatic rejection, and the validation of the revised rating sheets, among others.

The IMRC remains committed to strengthening the quality, integrity, and instructional value of Core IMs across all academic programs of the University.

The Curriculum Development Office proudly congratulates Dr. Rowena A. Plando on her re-appointment as SNSU's 2nd University President. We are one with the University in celebrating your leadership!

Every Core IM is evaluated on academic integrity (Similarity Index within 20%), instructional design quality, and content quality.

Scores alone do not decide. The Internal Review Team decides holistically — and a Core IM may be advised for resubmission regardless of score if a serious deficiency is present.

Outcomes: accepted as is · minor revisions (10 working days) · major revisions (20 working days) · advised for the next cycle.
