TL;DR — Laguna College does not publish a list of its courses anywhere on its own website. The page titled "All Courses" carries alumni content instead. What the school does document is the range of levels it covers, a PACUCOA Level II accreditation in liberal arts, education and commerce, and a four-step enrolment process. If you need the actual programme list, the registrar's email is the only reliable route, and this post tells you what to ask for.
The address, phone number and levels covered are on the Laguna College profile, and the wider set of options is on the San Pablo schools page. This post deals with what is and is not published about the programmes themselves.
What the school's website actually contains
We checked lagunacollege.edu.ph in September 2026, including its page index. The site has nine pages in total: a homepage, About, Alumni, Facilities, Contact, an announcements page, an online enrolment process page, an "All Courses" page and an account page.
The "All Courses" page carries alumni events, a photo gallery and featured alumni profiles. It names no programme, no department and no degree. That is not a rendering problem or a temporary outage, it is what is published there.
We are stating this plainly rather than filling the gap, because inventing a course list for a school that has not published one is exactly the sort of thing that sends a family to the wrong campus. If you find a programme list for Laguna College on an education directory, treat it as unverified until the registrar confirms it, including the list on our own directory record.
What the school does document
The About page is the most substantive thing on the site, and it does contain programme-relevant information, just not a list.
Levels. The school states that under its present name it offers kindergarten, elementary, a special science curriculum, RBEC-based high school, college and graduate school courses, with a student population in the several thousands.
Accredited areas. In 1996 it was granted Level II accreditation status by the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation for its courses in liberal arts, education and commerce, and it was re-accredited at Level II in 2005.
That accreditation line is the single most useful clue on the site about what the college teaches, because a school submits its own strongest programmes for accreditation. Liberal arts, education and commerce being the accredited three tells you those departments existed and were mature enough to be evaluated. It does not tell you what else runs alongside them, and it does not tell you whether the accreditation has been renewed since 2005, because the page does not say.
History. Founded as Laguna Academy in 1923 by Don Zacarias Sahagun and Don Melecio Fule, it opened with 16 students and reached 1,500 by 1941. It closed during the Japanese occupation and reopened in 1945 under its present name. The About page also records an effort in the late 1930s, under Dr. Nicasio B. Sahagun, to establish a junior normal college in San Pablo, which is consistent with education being one of the accredited areas today.
The enrolment process is documented in full
This is the part of the site that is genuinely complete, and it is worth reading before you contact anyone, because it tells you the order in which things happen.
Step 1, pre-registration. Fill out and submit the pre-registration Google form. Then wait for an email from the college covering verification of balances for old students, the enrolment fee and other fees to pay for both old and new students, and the bank details for payment.
Step 2, payment and verification. Pay the fees emailed to you by the accounting section at the designated bank. Send proof of payment to [email protected] with the subject line formatted as PAYMENT: NAME, YR, COURSE, attaching a photo of the deposit slip. Wait for the accounting department to email back payment verification and the official registration link. For college students that email also carries the approved subject load.
Step 3, official registration. Fill out the registration form. Basic education students do not encode subjects. College students encode their own subject load exactly as it appears in the accounting email, and the registrar treats the encoded form as the authoritative record of what you are enrolled in. New students and transferees upload photos of their entrance credentials at this stage and submit the originals on the first day of school.
Step 4, confirmation. The registrar emails a student enrolment number as temporary proof of official enrolment. Registration cards are released at Window 7 for basic education and Windows 8 and 9 for college; receipts at Window 2, the cashier's window, where new students and transferees hand over their original credentials.
Two things follow from this. First, the fee amount arrives by email after you pre-register, so you do not see the number before you start the process. Second, the credentials named on the enrolment page are the transcript of records, honourable dismissal, grades, certificate of good moral character, PSA birth certificate and Form 138. That list matches the standard set most private colleges ask for, which our college admission requirements guide covers in detail.
How to get the real course list
The school publishes four department emails, and using the right one saves a week.
| Office | |
|---|---|
| College department registrar | [email protected] |
| Basic education department | [email protected] |
| Guidance office | [email protected] |
| Accounting office | [email protected] |
The landline is (049) 562 8078, and the school links its Facebook page as its active channel for announcements.
When you write to the registrar, ask for four things in one message, because each one is a separate answer and a single vague reply will cost you another round trip:
- The complete list of college programmes open for enrolment this school year, with majors.
- Whether each one is currently CHED-recognised, and the current accreditation status of the liberal arts, education and commerce programmes.
- The list of graduate school programmes, since the About page confirms a graduate school exists but names nothing.
- A schedule of fees for your intended programme and year level, before pre-registration rather than after.
What the gap should and should not tell you
A thin website is a fact about a website, not a verdict on a school. Laguna College has been operating since 1923, holds a documented accreditation history and enrols in the thousands. Plenty of long-established provincial schools run on a Facebook page and a landline, and they are not worse for it.
What the gap does mean, practically, is that you cannot shortlist this school from your desk the way you can shortlist one that publishes everything. You have to make the call or send the email, and you should do it before you build a plan around a programme you assume is there. If you are weighing a private school against the public options in the same city, our private versus public school comparison sets out the trade-offs, and our Philippine education system guide explains how the levels fit together.
What to check on a campus visit
Because the desk research runs out early here, the visit does more work than usual. Five things worth doing while you are on campus.
Ask to see the CHED recognition or permit for your intended programme. Every college programme operates under a CHED government recognition or permit, and a registrar can show you the document. This is a normal request, not an accusatory one, and it settles the question that the website leaves open.
Ask when the accredited programmes were last re-evaluated. The About page records accreditation in 1996 and re-accreditation in 2005 and stops there. Accreditation is periodic, so ask what the current status is and when the next survey visit falls.
Look at the laboratories and the library for your specific course. A liberal arts, education or commerce programme needs a different plant from a science or engineering one. If you are told a laboratory-heavy programme is offered, ask to see the laboratory.
Ask about class sizes and year-level cohorts. A programme listed on a wall is not a programme with students in every year. Ask how many are enrolled in first, second, third and fourth year of the course you want.
Get the fee schedule on paper. The enrolment process emails fees after pre-registration. Ask the accounting section for the schedule in advance and take a printed or emailed copy away with you, so you are comparing a real number against other schools rather than a promise.
