Greetings from the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA)!
As the Vice President for Academic Affairs, it is an honor and a responsibility to serve the University of Southeastern Philippines in advancing our academic mission, vision, and core values across campuses.

By maximizing our collective efforts, we can deliver a holistic educational experience that enriches the lives of our students and contributes meaningfully to society.
By embracing accountability, we cultivate a culture of integrity and responsibility, ultimately bolstering our academic mission. Our resilience is a strong motivator, enabling us to overcome changes in our brittle, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible (BANI) world. With unwavering determination and the ability to adapt, we conquer obstacles.
We are committed to offering quality, innovative, and inclusive education that prepares our students to succeed in their chosen fields. Our pursuit of excellence in instruction, research, and extension creates a distinct image of USeP as an institution of higher learning.

The office coordinates with the different academic and delivery units to formulate long-term academic plans and align our strategies with our students' evolving needs and the educational landscape's demands.
Together, let us continue to live up to the standards of academic excellence that define our beloved USeP. Let us collaborate, innovate, and inspire one another as we try to achieve our shared goals of knowledge dissemination, research advancement, and community engagement, making USeP a catalyst of community transformation.
