MANAOIS 04:56 PM, Jan 05, 2024 

I am employed at the National Irrigation Administration- Region 1 as an engineer and enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Public Administration at Panpacific University- Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. This program's classes are scheduled on weekends. Conversely, while taking my Ph.D., I plan to enroll in the Law School program at Urdaneta City University, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, where classes are scheduled on weekdays. My question is, am I allowed to pursue simultaneously the PhD and law school? In case if CHED will not allow me, I would like to request copies of any policies about this matter.
