Background

The office then renamed as CDE Coordinating office of College of Social Sciences and Humanities in August 2014 following the restructuring of the college. However, the office has been coordinating the teaching-learning processes of the summer-in-service, distance, weekend, and evening programs run by different departments in the college since its inception.
