——This study examines the effectiveness of governance, instruction, research, extension, and facilities at Urdaneta City University (UCU) through the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including administrators, faculty, non-teaching personnel, and students. Employing a descriptivedocumentary research design, the study gathered and analyzed data to assess the status and identify areas for improvement within these critical institutional domains. The findings reveal that UCU’s administration demonstrates strong commitment and capability in managing the university, reflected in the overall “Implemented” ratings across governance and administration. However, specific areas such as research incentives and student and employee assistance programs received lower satisfaction ratings, indicating a need for enhanced support and resources. The study also highlights the importance of maintaining and upgrading the accreditation of degree programs to meet higher education standards. The comprehensive analysis underscores the value of stakeholder feedback in guiding institutional development and proposes strategic recommendations to bridge identified gaps and foster a more effective and supportive academic environment. These recommendations aim to enhance the university’s operational efficiency, promote academic excellence, and support the professional growth of its community members.
