A good education is one of the most important things an individual can pursue. The study determined the impact of FHE (Free Education Act) Act or Republic Act No. 10931 in CAPSU (Capiz State University) in terms of enrolment, choice of courses, faculty service, facility, and their personal assessment on the quality of education offered by CAPSU and yearly completion rate (cohort survival rate). A descriptive research design was used in the study. Data were gathered through a pilot-tested self-made questionnaire from 100 tertiary students who availed the FHE Program. The result showed that the students primarily enrolled in the University because of the free tuition. The students were satisfied with the services of the faculty. The students’ level of satisfaction have “moderately” positive impact in terms of school facilities such as the classrooms, laboratories and library which are very essential in learning. As of the choice of course, result showed that 37 out of 100 respondents (40%) were from BSBA department 35 out of 100 respondents (33.3%) were from the BSHM department and there were 28 out of 100 respondents from the BSSW department (26.7%). Their choice of courses may be dependent on the programs available as well as the demands for work. Nowadays, business-related courses are more attractive to the students because of the vast prospects of employment. It is recommended that the university shall strengthen its implementation of the FHE Act through giving priorities on the faculty development program.
