FEU Alabang is a private, non-sectarian trimestral, coeducational higher education institution located in Alabang, Muntinlupa, Philippines.[1] Founded on July 21, 2016 as the sixth campus of the Far Eastern University, it offers Senior High School, Engineering, Computer Studies, Accountancy and Business programs.
FEU Alabang is an annex campus of the FEU Institute of Technology, headed by Dr. Benson T. Tan as Senior Executive Director. The deans, professors, faculties, and grading system of the university are all managed by FEU Tech.
Like its sister schools, FEU Tech and FEU Diliman, the college runs on a trimester academic system. An academic year starts in the second week of August and ends every June.
FEU Alabang primarily caters to students in the Southern Metro Manila area. Established in 2018, the school offers various degree programs including science, engineering, technology, and accountancy.
In 2018, the campus welcomed almost 2,000 students to the 14-storey academic building. The campus also features a 200-seater chapel and gymnasium.[2]
In March 2020, FEU Alabang opened its gymnasium for the front line health care workers of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) and to help fight the COVID-19 that is rampaging across the country. The campus, being 300 meters away from RITM, allotted 50 beds and a 12-seater lounge as well as a shower, toilet and locker facilities.

FEU Alabang's campus is designed by Arch. Carmelo Casas of Casas + Architects.[5] He prioritized sustainability for the structure, using the sun's orientation and prevailing wind direction for light conservation and proper ventilation to students and faculties. The main academic building can accommodate up to 18,000 students.
In February 2020, the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel was inaugurated. It was headed by FEU President Dr. Michael Alba, FEU Chair Emeritus Dr. Lourdes Reyes Montinola, FEU Chief Finance Officer Johnny Montinola, and Dr. Tan.[6] In September, following its inauguration, Casas + Architects received 5 stars for Public Architecture from the Red Carpet Asia Pacific Property for their work on the chapel.[7]
The FEU Alabang Student Coordinating Council (FEUASCC) is the supreme student organization representing the interests and needs of the student body at FEU Alabang. The organization's power and authority are derived directly from the students, making it the unified, autonomous, and democratic voice of the student community. [8]
The council's primary mission is to protect and uphold the rights of the students, as outlined in the Magna Carta of Students and the Law of the Land. It maintains an independent stance, ensuring its focus remains solely on the concerns and welfare of the student body.[9]
The SCC values academic freedom and justice-based peace, working collaboratively with other sectors of the FEU Alabang community to promote these essential values. It recognizes the crucial role of the youth in nation-building and is committed to supporting their physical, intellectual, socio-cultural, and spiritual development.[10]
The council encourages student organizations to prioritize student welfare and rejects any forms of violence, policy, or activities that violate college regulations or the Law of the Land. Its commitment to honesty and integrity drives the council to maintain transparency in all transactions involving the interests of its members. [11]
