The International Center is in the process of updating the records of all international students (IS) enrolled at De La Salle University. The Philippine Bureau of Immigration (BI) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) require these documents to be filed and updated at all times, as these papers are necessary for monitoring IS. Subsequently, a regular report will be generated and submitted by our office to the government agencies concerned.
