UCC HISTORY

On July 1, 1971, the Secretary of Education, authorized the first-year operation of the
proposed Caloocan City Community College. For this, Municipal Ordinance No. 1495
appropriated the amount of P23, 400.00. Its purpose was to implement the national
development goal which assures the maximum participation of all people in the
attainment and enjoyment of the benefits of growth and provide quality educational
opportunities to its indigent but deserving constituents.
On June 22, 1972, the College was authorized to open the second year of the general
education course and the one-year secretarial on a P35,100 city budget.
On June 7, 1973 the Secretary of Education approved the third year operation of the
College with BS Industrial Education and the BS Business Technology appropriating
therefor P36,760 (Mun. Ord. Nos. 2020 and 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, 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 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,
Buena Park and Camarin Annexes became operational, while Tandang Sora Annex at
7th avenue started classes in November, 2002.
From an enrollment of 42 in 1971 the College had 3600 in 2000. In June 1996, it offered
two (2) masteral courses in public administration and in education. 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, Municipal Ordinance No. 0379 converted the
Caloocan City Polytechnic College into the full-fledged University of Caloocan City.
