CAGAYAN de Oro City Councilor James Judith has filed a proposed ordinance that seeks to establish a city college with initial basic course offerings of criminology and education.

In a 7-page proposed ordinance, the city college shall be known as the Colegio De Cagayan de Oro (CODO) which will be situated in the premises of the City National High School for its initial operations.

The city college will offer free tuition to qualified students of Cagayan de Oro and will provide basic course offerings such as criminology and education until it progresses to other courses.

Judith emphasized that only qualified students who are residents of the city shall be admitted. Primary qualification is indigency which shall be provided for by the Board of Trustees.
