Tahilan Residence and Study Center received a four-star rating from the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) of De La Salle University (DLSU) after the accreditation that took place during the third term of Academic Year 2009-2010.
Basic amenities and off-campus residences were rated by a multi-sectoral “visiting accreditation team” established by DLSU’s Academics and Administration Coordination Committee. The team is composed of one administration representative, one faculty representative, two student representatives and two parent representatives.
Points for the basic amenities total up to 60 and the off-campus housing facility must acquire a grade of at least 45 to be accredited. Accreditation levels are also set to sort the dormitories according to the number of points they received.
Other accredited dormitories include Anne Francis Condominium, Cara Celine Dormtel, Mervin Terraces Condominium, and Homelike Ladies Dormitory with three stars; Residencia de Dios and @ Home Dormtel with two stars and Viverde Lofts with one star.
According to Dean of Student Affairs Fritzie de Vera, security was the number one priority the committee looked into during the accreditation, proof of which appears in the majority of the evaluation given solely to assess safety and security.
The roster can be found at http://www.dlsu.edu.ph/students/international/survival, particularly making it convenient for international students who may not be able to visit the campus before enrollment.
