Abstract
This study identified the digital transformation at the college and university level. It was done thru an identification of automation of records and office processes in selected Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs), State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and Private Schools in the Philippines. Thirty-seven (37) institutions participated in this descriptive research. A validated survey was done using a snowball sampling technique. A survey Questionnaire thru Google Forms was sent to the administrators who participated in the study. It was found that digital transformation is at 43% (fully applied), 27% (moderately applied), 16% (slightly applied), and a whopping 14% are not at all. It is therefore concluded that most universities and colleges are now using technology to automate records and processes to optimize efficiency and effectiveness in their school management. Since there are still institutions that are in the process of automation, it is highly recommended that they should address these concerns to fully comply with technological change. Based on this study, some educational institutions in the Philippines are ready in terms of digital SPMP in managing the performance of their colleges/universities. It is now a challenge to them how they can adapt to the new normal considering that many institutions are on their way to coping with the prevailing situation.
