GENERAL INFORMATION

SECTION 1. BRIEF HISTORY AND STATEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL PURPOSE

The University of Caloocan City is indeed a community-driven teniary educational
institution having started as I community college on July I, 1971, when then Minister of
Education, Onofre D. Corpus, authorized the first-year operation of the proposed Caloocan City
Community College. Aimed to implement the national development goal of the government
that promoted the maximum participation of all people in the attainment and enjoyment of the
benefits of growth and provided quality educational opportunities to its indigent but deserving
constituents, Municipal Ordinance No. 1495 appropriated the amount of P23,400.00 therefore.

The next two years of UCCs operations became even more fruitful following the approval
by the Minister of Education of the second year of general education course and one-year
secretarial course on June 22, 1972, with P35,100 city budget (Mun. Ord. No. 2020), and the
third year opening of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education and Bachelor of Science in
Business Technology with P36,760 city budget (Mun. Ord. No. 2140).
On March 25, 1975 Ordinance No. 2295 provided for the charter of the renamed
Caloocan City Polytechnic College defining its purpose as follows: (a) To develop the Filipino
intellect and explore its manpower potentials; (b) To help promote a continuing welfare as well
as improving the standard of living of the people of Caloocan City. and providing them with
meaningful education that is geared towards the demands of an emerging industrial society,
and (c) To help enhance the prestige of the underprivileged by providing them with low-tuition
fee education, the fundamental instrument toward the improvement of their economic status.

A fire that gutted the High School PTA Building in 1984 forced the College to move to the
nearby elementary school before transferring to the Sangandaan site. In June 1996, the old
buildings in Buena Park and Camarin were converted into classrooms and became two separate
campuses, while Tandang Sora Annex at 7th avenue started classes in November, 2002, to
accommodate the upsurge of students entering the university.

From an enrollment of 42 in 1971 the College had 3600 in 2000. In June 1996, it offered
two (2) graduate courses Master in Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Arts in
Education (MAEd). To make the college more responsive to the needs of the Citys constituents,
government employees with 60 undergraduate units were enrolled as third year students in the
special Bachelor in Public Administration in 1997.
In the first LET in August 1996, a BEED graduate placed 4th in the national ranking and in
1998 a 24-unit student placed 10th. From then on, the yearly passing percentage of the UCC
examinees has always been above the national mean.
On February 9, 2004, after 33 long years, City Ordinance No. 0375 converted the
Caloocan City Polytechnic College into a full-fledged University known as the University of
Caloocan City (UCC).
The rest is history.
