Upon arrival, the enrollees were immediately greeted by friendly and accommodating student assistants, ready to queries related to the procedure of enrollment. The enrollment proper which is divided into 5 major stations, namely, admission, encoding, free tuition tagging, COR claiming and business center/medical schedule, were clearly delineated for each enrollee to see and

follow. Supervising the novel procedure was no less than the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Armee N. Rosel. With only a few minor hitches, the enrollment process that once took a day or days to finish now takes all but six (6) minutes to go through the entire procedure. Once replicated, and the minor issues resolved, the process will yet prove to be the fastest enrollment procedure ever in a State University or College.
