Mindoro State University (MinSU) continues to strengthen its commitment to free and quality education as it conducted a series of campus-based orientations on the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act (UAQTEA). The sessions were held at MinSU Bongabong and Main Campus, on September 17, 2026, with the final leg completed at MinSU Calapan Campus (MCC) on September 18, 2025.
Facilitated by the Commission on Higher Education Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (CHED UniFAST) in collaboration with MinSU, the activity aimed to raise awareness among Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) and Tulong Dunong Program (TDP) grantees about their program benefits and responsibilities. The orientations also sought to ensure compliance, provide clarity on financial assistance coverage, and reinforce the university’s ties with CHED and UniFAST.
At the Calapan City Campus, the session was led by UniFAST MIMAROPA Lead Regional Coordinator Raniel C. Bacolor, who discussed the benefits under UAQTEA, duration of availment, and other key provisions often unfamiliar to many students.
“This orientation is a step in empowering our students and aligning our institution with national education goals,” said Jonbert M. Caoli, Director of OSAS.
Through these orientations, MinSU reaffirms its role in fostering accessible higher education and ensuring that every student maximizes the opportunities provided by UAQTEA.
