This document serves as the definitive guide for student life at Silliman University during the 2016–2017 academic year. As the first Protestant and American-founded institution in the Philippines (est. 1901), Silliman University has maintained a unique cultural identity known as the "Silliman Spirit," which emphasizes the "Via, Veritas, Vita" (The Way, The Truth, and The Life) philosophy. The 2016 handbook is significant as it reflects the institution's policies during a period of national academic transition, specifically addressing the integration of the K-12 educational system and evolving standards for student governance and welfare. It highlights the university’s commitment to holistic development, detailing the relationship between the administration and the Silliman University Student Government (SUSG), and documenting the specific codes of conduct that have shaped the social and ethical fabric of the campus for over a century.
