Performance of Schools in August 2026 Criminology Board Exam Results to Be Released This September

Thousands of aspiring criminologists across the Philippines are eagerly awaiting the release of the Performance of Schools for the August 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination (CLE), one of the most closely watched components of the Professional Regulation Commission’s (PRC) official examination results. Alongside the complete list of successful examinees, the Top 10 highest-performing examinees, and other official statistics, the performance of schools will provide a comprehensive picture of how colleges and universities nationwide fared in this year’s licensure examination.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), through the Board of Criminology, is expected to release the August 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination results in September 2026, approximately twenty-six (26) working days after the final day of the examinations. The official release will include the list of passers, the Top 10 examinees, the overall passing rate, and the highly anticipated Performance of Schools report, which ranks educational institutions based on the performance of their first-time examinees and overall passing percentages.

For many colleges and universities offering criminology programs, the Performance of Schools serves as a significant benchmark of academic excellence and instructional quality. Educational institutions that achieve high passing rates often view the results as a reflection of their commitment to producing competent graduates who are fully prepared to meet the standards of the criminology profession. Likewise, the report serves as an important reference for prospective students and parents when choosing institutions that consistently perform well in licensure examinations.

The August 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination was administered on August 1, 2, and 3, 2026, in numerous testing centers strategically located across the country to accommodate the thousands of examinees. Examination venues included the National Capital Region (NCR), Baguio, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Calapan, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Koronadal, Legazpi, Lucena, Palawan, Pagadian, Pampanga, Rosales, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, Zamboanga, Bacolod, Bayambang, Bohol, Catarman, Cauayan, Dumaguete, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and Kidapawan.

This nationwide administration of the licensure examination highlights the continuing growth of criminology education in the Philippines, with graduates from both public and private higher education institutions striving to earn their professional licenses and begin careers in law enforcement, corrections, forensic science, criminal investigation, and other fields within the criminal justice system.

The Board of Criminology, headed by Chairman Hon. Ramil G. Gabao, together with board members Hon. Lani T. Palmones and Hon. Warren M. Corpuz, supervised the conduct of the examinations and will oversee the evaluation and final approval of the results before they are officially released by the PRC.

As part of the official examination process, the PRC may also issue notices concerning examinees whose results require further review. According to the official examination procedures, the results of some examinees may be withheld pending the final determination of liabilities under the rules and regulations governing licensure examinations, while others may have their results temporarily withheld pending the submission or verification of required documents. Such cases are processed separately and do not affect the release of the complete list of passers and the Performance of Schools.

Once officially released, the Performance of Schools report will present the passing percentages of colleges and universities whose graduates participated in the August 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination. The report typically distinguishes institutions with at least 50 examinees and recognizes schools that meet the PRC’s requirements for inclusion in the official rankings. The data also allows educational institutions to assess their instructional effectiveness and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

The release of the August 2026 CLE results is expected to bring excitement and anticipation not only to examinees but also to faculty members, administrators, parents, and communities that have supported the candidates throughout their academic journey. Schools with outstanding performances often celebrate the achievements of their graduates, while successful examinees prepare for the next step in their professional careers as licensed criminologists.

Candidates are advised to monitor the official announcements of the Professional Regulation Commission for the exact release date of the August 2026 Criminology Licensure Examination results. Once available, the official publication will include the complete list of passers, Top 10 examinees, Performance of Schools, overall passing rate, and other important examination announcements, providing the final outcome of one of the country’s most anticipated professional licensure examinations.
