Internet Research Center (IRC)<br />
The Internet Research Center (IRC) is managed by the Planning and<br />
Development Office (PDO) with the technical assistance of the Information<br />
and Communications Technology Office (ICTO).<br />
IRC staffs are assigned by PDO to handle the 12-hour operations. They are<br />
assisted by a team of students from the Entrepreneurship department of the<br />
College of Business, Entrepreneurship and Accountancy (CBEA) as part of<br />
their on-the-job training program.<br />
PDO provides the overall direction and management of all staff<br />
and general operations of the center. ICTO, on the other hand, provides<br />
technical support and services through outsourced ICT vendors in the<br />
regular maintenance and repair of all equipment and peripherals in the<br />
center. Student Managers of the Entrepreneurship department handle<br />
the daily operations.<br />
Main Objectives of IRC<br />
IRC aims to enhance MC’s academic programs through the use of modern<br />
technology. It also makes internet resources and services available in support<br />
of MC’s mission to provide superior levels of education and instructional<br />
services to its students.<br />
Calendar of regular activities<br />
IRC follows MC’s Institutional Calendar. The center is open 12 hours a day,<br />
Tuesdays through Fridays and nine hours on Saturdays and Mondays.<br />
The center is closed on all school and national holidays.<br />
During semestral breaks and special events, PDO may set special schedules<br />
at the center.<br />
IRC is closed to students during school breaks and holidays. This will give<br />
way to regular ICT maintenance and repair services that may be planned<br />
during the period. Notices of special shutdowns are made depending on the<br />
network providers’ schedule of maintenance work during the year.<br />
