Armed with passion and dedication, the pool of experts gathered in one sphere for the accreditation of curricular programs of PSU- SCC which is the main function of the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc.
PSU-SCC’s pool of faculty heads, Dr. Cristina Lamsen Javier (College Dean of Education), Dr. And Julie Rosal (Dean of CHMBAC), Dr. Balbina R. Gutierrez (College Dean of Agriculture), and Prof. Arceli Adoracion Gapuz-Ramos (Quality Assurance Coordinator) spearheaded the local accreditation ventured last March 16, 2021. This marked the beginning of the journey of the PSU-SCC campus to the AACCUP Accreditation.
During that course, the PSU-SCC teaching and non-teaching personnel were marked with eager hopefulness in burgeoning the ten areas of accreditation, Dr. Manolito C. Manuel, the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Support Services together with Dr. Rosario B. Miguel, the Head for International and Local Accreditation, catenated and spearheaded the diligent Pillars of Accreditation as they assessed and evaluated the burped documents securely uploaded by the designated Area Chairpersons, indefatigable Faculty Members and Non-Teaching Staff of the campus.

Lomboy, for Area 9: Laboratories, Dr. Ramil L. Dacal scored the assessment while Dr. Zosima Sison managed the review on Area 10: Administration.
To cinch the conformity and compliance of the programs with the standards and prudence in the management affairs, the accreditors seized one-day checking, mentoring, coaching, review, and evaluation to secure the accuracy, exactitude, and repleteness of the evidence and documents for having at least uploaded twenty-five percent of the needed files in preparation for the virtual Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines Accreditation on May that year, which had been noted in the history of the campus accreditation.
