FAAP AWARDS SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY "INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDIATION", THE HIGHEST DISTINCTION GIVEN TO A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION
The Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) has granted Institutional Accreditation to Silliman University, making Silliman the first and only school in the Visayas, and one of only five in the Philippines, to have such prestige.
Institutional Accreditation is the highest distinction awarded a higher education institution, in consideration of its number of high-level accreditation of its individual academic programs and overall evaluation of the quality of the university's facilities, services, and faculty. The University continues to be the school in the Philippines with the highest number of accredited programs.
Silliman also takes pride in being one of select universities in the Philippines granted Full Autonomous status by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), giving it authority to develop its own programs without the necessary approval of CHED. This, on top of other CHED-designated distinctions:
Center of Excellence in Teacher Education
Center of Excellence in Nursing Education
Center of Development in Accountancy
Center of Development in Biology
Center of Development in Information Technology Education

LETTER OF SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. BEN S. MALAYANG III TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, DEANS, DIRECTORS, UNIT HEADS, FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND ALUMNI
13 December 2010
Dear Colleagues and Friends:
It is with deep gratitude to God and to all of you in our University, and to all our alumni and friends who have continued to love and support our school, that I share with you a good news.
After an exhaustive evaluation lasting almost a year, the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP) confirmed this morning the granting to Silliman the status of Institutional Accreditation. This is the highest accreditation granted to a school in the country over and above individual program accreditations. This accreditation status has only been recently established in the Philippines.
With this, Silliman would be so far the first and only school in the Visayas that shall have been conferred this accreditation status. We continue to be the school with the highest number of accredited programs in the country.
On behalf of all of us, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and congratulations to Dr. Betsy Joy B. Tan, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and her team in the academic leadership of the University who led our efforts to acquire this accreditation status. I wish to also acknowledge the invaluable support of the Finance and Administration sector of Silliman, headed by Vice President for Finance and Administration Cleonico Y. Fontelo. Not the least, I wish to acknowledge our past President, Dr. Agustin A. Pulido, who, among many things he did to move our University forward, started the current accreditation initiatives in the University.
Truly this is one very nice Christmas gift to the University.

e-Sillimanian is an online game that can be downloaded from the Silliman University website (Silliman University, Dumaguete City, Oriental Negros, Philippines). It is an innovative and a non typical way of guiding students on the enrollment process of the university making it fun and educational at the same time.
The game starts when one chooses his/her character and which there are steps to follow to complete the enrollment procedure. It is also a virtual tour to the campus of Silliman making one familiarize on its buildings and surroundings. Some buildings have mini games to play, the goal is to unlock these buildings and collect some "achievements". There are also corresponding historical background of that building when one enters. A player can decide which way to go like as if really walking inside the campus with replicas of the school's landmarks. The game is won when the player successfully got his/her own ID.
