This study aimed to evaluate the preparedness for an accreditation survey of Christ the King College, Calbayog City based on the PAASCU Standards as a basis for an action plan. A descriptive survey method was conducted with a focus group discussion from the respondents. From the data gathered in the study, it was found out that the existing status as to its preparedness of Christ the King College of Calbayog City in terms of: (1) Vision-Mission, and Goals was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; (2) Community Involvement was rated Very Good which means that the provisions or conditions are implemented and are functioning well; (3) Faculty was rated FAIR which means that the provisions or conditions are implemented to a limited extent and are functioning minimally; (4) Curriculum and Instruction was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; (5) Library was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; (6) Laboratories was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; (7) Facilities was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; (8) Student Services was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily; and (9) Administration was rated Good which means that the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and are functioning satisfactorily. There were several challenges identified which include the lack of sustainable support, low salary of teachers, collaborative effort, and institutional mandate while the opportunities include the seriousness of the school administration, addressing concerns, and identifying areas for improvements. Therefore, majority of the provisions or conditions are moderately implemented and functioning satisfactorily except for community involvement which is implemented and is functioning well. However, in the area on faculty, the provisions or conditions are implemented to a limited extent and are functioning minimally. Also identifying, the challenges and opportunities would help Christ the King College of Calbayog City, Inc. achieve its goal to be prepared for PAASCU Accreditation; hence, an action plan is designed.
