CHED Memorandum Order No. 8, Series of 2008, defines “Extension” as the act of communicating, persuading and helping specific sectors or target clienteles (as distinguished from those enrolled in formal degree programs and course offerings) to enable them to effectively improve production, community and/or institutions and quality of life.

The extension and training function makes an institution’s presence felt in the community. It involves the application of matured technologies and those generated in the institution to improve the life of the people. Through the extension and training program, the people are empowered of the appropriate knowledge, skills, attitudes and values.
