COL to increase fees by 2024-25

LA TRINIDAD, BENGUET – The College of Law (COL) of Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) intends to increase its tuition and other fees starting this first semester of School Year 2024-25.

In a consultation last April 29, 2024, attendees agreed to the increase of fees for current students by 18.18 percent, or from P825 per unit to P975, and a hike of 17.65 %, or from P850 per unit to P1,000 for new students.

Attending the event were CCDC Vice President for Finance Reginald Libang, Budget Officer Pedrano Sabiling, COL Dean Alexis Agmata, CCDC Faculty Atty. Czarinah Rose Gumpic, COL Secretary Ronifo Antonio, COL Linteg President Roderick Nierva, and COL Linteg 2^nd Year Representative Renaluz Lamsis.

The agreement also included the addition of P1,000 semestral fee for each enrollee for the implementation of COL’s Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP). The fee will cover the operational and administrative costs of activities under the CLEP which is among the recent developments in COL’s curriculum.

To train students on the current practice of digitalized Bar examinations, the school will also be subscribing to Examsoft, a digital assessment platform which is similar to the current program used in the Bar.

As such, a P3,000 subscription fee will be added to the enrollment fee of law students every semester.

CCDC is expanding its Internet capacity to cope with the expected increase of bandwidth usage.

Among the main reasons for the increase is to increase the salary of the COL faculty. The last increase in salary for faculty members was in 2019.

Law students were notified of this development through their Linteg organization.*
