𝗨𝗦𝗠 𝗧𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆

The University of Southern Mindanao’s Security Services and Management Office (SSMO) reaffirmed its strict enforcement of the university dress code and entry protocols, highlighting that these policies are a long-standing mandate of the University.

In an interview, SSMO Director Professor Orlando B. Forro emphasized that the directive is not new but a reinforcement of existing guidelines meant to protect the university community.

“The mandate of security is to protect the lives of students, faculty, and staff inside the university. All policies we implement come from higher authority,” Professor Forro said.

Key Requirements at Campus Entrances

• School ID must be worn at all times

• Freshmen without School ID: Electronic or printed copy of their Certificate of Registration (COR) must be presented

• Prescribed Uniform (Monday to Thursday):

- Male: White polo with university seal, black slacks, dark closed shoes

- Female: Prescribed white blouse with green necktie, knee-length skirt, black closed shoes

- Muslim female students: White hijab, long-sleeved white blouse, long skirt, black closed shoes

• Friday attire: Society shirt with pants or knee-length skirt and closed shoes

• PE attire: Allowed only during scheduled PE classes

• General rules: No sleeveless shirts, slippers, tattered clothing, or shorts

• Male grooming rules: Proper haircut, no earrings

The security office noted that many students recently flagged were wearing slippers, missing their ID, or not in the prescribed uniform.

“Kapag sumunod ka sa policy, wala tayong problema. Pinapababa namin [sila] sa tricycle at pinapauwi sa boarding house dahil hindi sila sumunod sa patakaran,” Forro said.

Strengthening Safety and Preventing Impostors

The SSMO stressed that these protocols are crucial for preventing individuals posing as students from entering the campus and potentially committing theft.

“Identification and uniform prove you are a student. 'Pag may impostor na makapasok at magnakaw, sino ang sisisihin? Security,” Forro added.

He also noted that USM has recorded zero major incidents on campus since the start of the 2025 academic year, crediting consistent enforcement of these measures.

Maintaining Discipline and Campus Safety

USM’s security operations also go beyond monitoring attire. The campus is protected by perimeter fencing and CCTV systems, while tricycle operations inside the university are regulated with sanctions for violations.

Lost items from tricycles and public areas are regularly turned over to the SSMO for claiming and posted on their page.

Forro assures students that security is strict not to inconvenience them but to safeguard everyone inside the campus.

“We are only executing what the University requires. When security is strict, it means you are safe inside,” he added.
