1. Attendance is a must. A student may incur only seven (7) absences for MW and TTH classes and three
(3) absences for 3- hour-once-a-week classes (20% of the prescribed days of classes); otherwise, he/she
will be automatically dropped from the class list, and/or receive a failing grade of 5.0.

of explanation addressed to the Student Affairs Officer who, after imposing disciplinary action, will
refer the student to the Guidance Office to secure a readmission slip duly signed by the Guidance

3. Tardiness is discouraged. It is a source of irritation and class disruption when students arrive late.
Students who arrive 15 minutes after the start of class are considered tardy. Please note that three (3)
tardiness is equivalent to one (1) absence.

4. A permanent seat plan will be made at the start of the semester. Students are advised to keep to their
assigned seating arrangement; otherwise, they will be marked absent for that day.

5. Classes should always start and end with a short prayer. The instructor can opt to lead the prayer or
assign students to do this alternately.

is strictly prohibited. Any student found violating this rule will be punished with the appropriate sanction.

the restroom during their vacant period or before the start of their classes. If they must visit the restroom,
