History
University of Caloocan City – Congressional CampusUniversity of Caloocan City – South Campus
The University of Caloocan City was formed in 2004 out of Caloocan City Polytechnic College (CCPC), which started as a two-year course college in 1971 and offered four-year courses in 1975. Its first programs were Bachelor of Science degrees in Industrial Education (BSIE) and Business Technology (BSBT).
The school was first located in a building at Caloocan High School (located at 10th Avenue, Grace Park). It was transferred to its first stand-alone location (at General San. Miguel St. Sangandaan, Caloocan) when the first building burned down.
On January 23, 2004, Caloocan City Council unanimously approved the Ordinance 1020–2003 principally authored by then councilor Gonzalez Jr., which authorized the city government to convert the existing Caloocan City Polytechnic College into a full-fledged university. The initially city hall-funded tertiary educational institution will henceforth be called as University of Caloocan City, the lone public university in Caloocan.
On April 20, 2006, the 32nd Commencement Exercise took place at Folk Arts Theater in Manila. The BSIE graduates were the first to be called on stage, which is a tradition at the Commencement Exercises.
At the start of academic year 2015, 1st District Councilor Dale Gonzalo "Along" Malapitan made an ordinance that the tuition fee in the university will be free for all freshmen and transferees who graduated from elementary and high school in Caloocan, as long as they are children of, or they are themselves, registered voters of Caloocan.
The university also offered the Senior High School program for Junior High School completers for the School year 2016–2017, in line with the recent implementation for the K-12 program. ABM (Accountancy, Business, and Management), & HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences) strands were available in the University for the Senior High School program. But the SHS program was closed in the university in the succeeding year, resulting to have only a single batch of SHS graduates in UCC.
