History

In 1969, the school was established as the Surigao del Norte School of Arts and Trades. In 1998, the school was renamed Surigao State College of Technology after it merged with the Malimono School of Fisheries.

Elevation to university status

On June 4, 2013, Surigao del Norte State University was established under Rep. Act 10600, integrating Surigao del Norte State College of Technology with Siargao National College of Science and Technology in Del Carmen and the Surigao del Norte College of Agriculture and Technology in Mainit. The name change was yet to be implemented after it was amended by RA 11010 that the institution shall retain its status prior to the effectivity of this Act until it is able to comply with CHED requirements. [3]

The school received university status in 2022. [4]
