History
Surigao del Sur State University (SDSSU), formerly Surigao del Sur Polytechnic State
College (SSPSC), is composed of six campuses strategically located in the Province of Surigao
del Sur. It achieved its status as a university through Republic Act 9998 signed on February 22,
2010. The leadership of its dynamic President, Dr. Remegita C. Olvida, and the dedication and
commitment of its faculty and staff and other stakeholders for quality tertiary education and
excellence all played a key role on the conferment of the status of a state university to the
institution after 28 years of existence. The history of the University dates back to 1982 when
Bukidnon State College opened their extension in Tandag known as the Bukidnon External
Studies Center. In 1992, it became the Surigaodel Sur Polytechnic College. The creation of the
College integrated four DECS-supervised schools in the municipalities of Cagwait, Tagbina,
Lianga, and Tago. Six years later in 1998, the College earned the status of being a state college
by virtue of Republic Act 8628. In 2000, the Surigao del Sur Institute of Technology (SSIT) in
Cantilan became the fifth satellite campus of the University (www.sdssu.edu.ph).
