DLSMHSI launches computer-based on-site admission test: First in the history of the InstituteThe Lasallian Access and Success Office (LASO) in partnership with the Information Communication Technology Center has successfully piloted the computer-based on-site Admission Test on February 3, 2018 at La Salle College Antipolo to 17 examinees and on February 19, 2018 at Philippine Science High School in Tugbok, Davao City to 15 examinees.

A milestone for DLSMHSI being a first in its history, this innovation enabled LASO to make Lasallian education more accessible and convenient to examinees outside of Cavite because they may now take the test at their preferred time and chosen testing center. It also made the process more efficient because the test may be administered off-site with minimal staff requirement. In the future, more testing sites shall be set-up in the provinces and abroad  to bring opportunity to Lasallian health education closer to prospective students through technology.
