Autonomous and Deregulated Status
Institutional Quality Assurance through Monitoring andEvaluation (IQuAME)
In principle, autonomous status isgiven to independent and self-governed PHEIs thatare committed to the pursuit of excellence in thedelivery and management of academic services.As advocates of academic freedom, theseinstitutions must have demonstrated anindisputable track record of integrity, academicexcellence, effective institutional managementsustainability and public accountability.
Like autonomous HEIs, deregulatedHEIs are anchored on the principles ofintegrity, academic excellence, effectivemanagement and public accountability.However, while these institutions are assumedto be consistently working towards theachievement of the highest standards ofacademic excellence, they differ fromautonomous institutions in their level ofacademic performance on management.
CHED issued the revised guidelines toimplement the grant of autonomous andderegulated status to selected private highereducation institutions (PHEIs) with corresponding
benefits. Three (3) general criteria for selectionand identification of private HEIs which shallreceive autonomy and deregulated status from theCommission are: (1) Established private HEIswith FAAP Level III Accredited or with COEs/CODs identified programs; (2) Outstanding overallperformance of graduates in the licensureexaminations administered by the Professional andRegulation Commission (PRC); and (3) Longtradition of integrity and untarnished reputation.
For 2009, CHED granted autonomousstatus to 28 private HEIs and awardedderegulated status to 14 private HEIs. Hence,there were 44 private HEIs with autonomousstatus and 14 private HEIs with deregulated status.Seventy two (72) more applicant-HEIs had beenevaluated for the grant of the said status. TheOffice of Quality Management also acted onrequests for reconsideration and upgrading ofstatus. The review of the policies and guidelinesfor the grant of status were also conducted.
The Institutional Quality Assurancethrough Monitoring and Evaluation (IQuAME) isa mechanism for monitoring and evaluating theoutcomes of the programs, processes and servicesof higher education institution in the key area of
quality of teaching and learning as supported bythe governance and management, support forstudents, relations with the community andmanagement of resources.
The CHED conducted orientations on theIQuAME project to 180 institutions in RegionsIV-A, VII, NCR and CARAGA. The orientationswere conducted using the IQuAME documentssuch as Primer, FAQs, HEI Self-Evaluationdocument guide to familiarize the institutions howthe monitoring and evaluation using the IQuAMEFramework is being conducted for betterunderstanding of the intent of the project and toefface hesitations of some institutions towards theproject.
CMO 37, s. 2009 on approving thecategories of institutions initially visited in2009 using the IQuAME Framework wasissued
CMO 40, s. 2009 – Cost SharingScheme Between CHED and HEI in theConduct of IQuAME Visits was issued.Consistent with the delared policy of thegovernment in the management and utilizationof funds, guidelines on the cost-sharingbetween CHED and HEI was formulated and
approved by the Commission. However, no directfinancial transaction between CHED and the HEIsstill remains a policy of the Commission.
A proposal on the developed/prioritized system-wide institution-specificinterventions to HEIs through IQuAME wasdrafted. This was an intervention program of theof the Commission through IQuAME to addressthe gaps common to many HEIs identified duringmonitoring and evaluation of institutions.
The office also recommended 28institutions with Category A(t) and B asbeneficiaries for the Overseas DevelopmentAssistance (ODA) Project. This form part ofthe intevention program to HEIs throughIQuAME.
Monitoring and evaluation of seven (7)institutions and assisted at least forty-eight (48)HEIs were also conducted in 2009.
University Status and University System
• University Status
This is a grant and/or retention to trulydeserving higher education institutions whichhave proven their excellence in the areas ofinstruction, research and extension in order tofurther promote and enhance relevant andquality education in the country.
For calender year 2009-2010, a reviewof the policies and guidelines for the grant ofuniversity status was made.
Questionnaire/self-survey forms were sentto 194 PHEIs, for the presidents of all universitiesin the Philippines to accomplish. The survey aimedto 1) generate updated and consolidatedinformation for record and inventory purposes; 2)recognition of good practices that may be sharedto and adapted by other universities; and as 3)basis for policy recommendation and identificaionof areas for support of the Commission.
Accreditation is a process of self-regulation which focuses on evaluation andcontinuing improvement of educational qualityundertaken by authorized external entities.This process results to a recognition whichmaybe given by national, regional andinternational accrediting agencies.
The CHED created the CoordinatingCouncil for Accreditation (CCA) by virtue ofE.O. 705 and 705-A to rationalize andharmonize the accreditation process in highereducation.
The Council conducted coordinationmeetings to discuss harmonization ofaccreditation instruments and accreditationprocesses. A comparative matrix of accreditationper program was also prepared.
The Office of Quality Managementprepared the necessary documents of theapproved 31 HEI applicants for accreditation inthe amount of P9,350,000.00. The said Officealso evaluated 102 HEIs’ applications for the grantof Preliminary Survey Assistance forAccreditation (PSAA) and InstitutionalDevelopment Assistance for Accreditation(IDAA) for approval of the Commission en Banc.
Accreditation
• University System
This is the grant of university system titleto education institutions.

A University has a clearly definedorganization that is governed primarily by theboard and by a set of officers, both system-wideand for each constituent unit.
As of CY 2009-2010, one (1) privatehigher education institution applied and two (2)contituent units were processed for documentaryevaluation.
It has been proposed for CY 2010-2011,that a review of the existing policies and guidelinesfor the grant of University System title to highereducation institution should be undertaken. Thisis a remedial measure on the creation ofconstituent units, satellite campus and extensionclasses of the mother unit, which were granteduniversity level status.
