SCC is now ready to accept Foreign Students

The Buraeu of Immigration (BI), Manila, has recently granted Sunrise Christian College Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. the authority to enroll non-immigrant FOREIGN STUDENTS. The ORDER was issued Last September 19,2007 by BI Commissioner Marcelino C. Libanan. This has been materialized through the efforts of SCC’s School Registrar, Mr. Antonio C. Medroso with the help of Mr. Carlito Garido, BI’s Chief of Butuan City together with his Administrative Aide, Ms. Grace Herman.

The issuance of this ORDER is in compliance to the policy set by the Philippine Government regarding foreign students. SCC is now expecting the influx of foreign students specially now that it has tied up with Korea Christian University. Hopefully, KCU will be sending students on January next year as part of the Student-Exchange agreement between the two schools.
