Brebeuf Gym Fire and RISE Capital Campaign

On July 7, 2017, the historic 67-year-old Brebeuf Gymnasium was razed to the ground; the Sauras, Kostka, and Gonzaga Halls were also affected. The Zamboanga City government estimated the damages to amount to 5 million.

Admissions

AdZU operates with a selective admissions policy. All of the units of the university require, among other things, passing an entrance examination (which in the case of the Grade School is instead termed an 'assessment test'); past education records are also required for examination. The School of Medicine requires results in the National Medical Admission Test while the College of Law requires results in the PhilSAT; all other units administer their own entrance examinations.
