Agusan del Sur State University (ADSSU) issues this advisory with sincere regret over the late release of this notice and for any inconvenience it may have caused to our pioneer graduates, their families, and stakeholders. The University acknowledges the preparations already undertaken in anticipation of this significant academic milestone.

The Academic Year 2025–2026 marks a defining moment in the history of higher education in Agusan del Sur, as it produces the first graduates of Agusan del Sur State University following its transition from Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology. This inaugural cohort represents the University’s pioneer graduating class and stands as a milestone in the institutional development of ADSSU.

In line with Commission En Banc Resolution No. 060-2026 dated 23 February 2026, the University is currently completing the full institutional integration requirements attendant to its conversion into a state university. This includes the consolidation of its official academic identity, legal nomenclature, documentation systems, and commencement protocols to fully reflect its status as Agusan del Sur State University.

In this regard, the Commencement Exercises for the Pioneer Graduating Class are hereby rescheduled. The revised schedule is currently being finalized, taking into consideration existing institutional engagements, and shall be issued in a separate advisory at the soonest possible time. This adjustment is made to ensure that the ceremony is conducted with full institutional propriety and with the distinction befitting the University’s first graduating cohort.

This rescheduling does not affect the academic standing and graduation status of the candidates concerned. Students who have fully completed all academic requirements shall be officially recognized as graduates effective 24 June 2026, in accordance with the approved Academic Calendar. The release of diplomas, transcripts, and other academic credentials shall follow standard University procedures and established timelines through the concerned offices.

The University enjoins the understanding, patience, and continued cooperation of all stakeholders as it prepares for this historic commencement with Batch Hiraya, Class of 2026. ADSSU remains committed to holding a dignified graduation ceremony that reflects the honor, achievement, and legacy of its pioneer graduates.
