The Office of the Director of Business Affairs and Auxiliary Services Division in UP College of Agriculture was created.
In 1972, the University of the Philippines Los Baños became the UP’s first unit to be granted autonomy by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 58.

The functions of Office of the Business and Administrative were transferred to various units of UPLB.
