8.2 Attendance
Attendance will be checked regularly. A student with more than 9 hours of absence will be
dropped from the subject. 3 occurrences of tardiness are equivalent to 1 absence. A student
arriving in class after the first 15 minutes is considered absent.
8.3 Missed Exams
Make-up examination will be conducted provided an admission slip from the Guidance
Office is presented to the instructor.
8.4 Class Participation
Students are encouraged to participate actively during classroom discussion to develop
confidence and test retention.
8.5 Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Any act of dishonesty in
academic work constitutes academic misconduct. This includes plagiarism, the changing or
falsifying of any academic documents or materials, cheating, and the giving or receiving of
unauthorized aid in tests, examinations, or other assigned school work. Always protect your own
work from wandering eyes, since it is often not possible to determine who the originator and copier
were. Penalties for academic misconduct will vary with the seriousness of the offence. Punishment
for such offenses includes expulsion, suspension, and non-credit of examination among others.
8.6 Dropping
Dropping from the course is the responsibility of the student. If you decide to stop
attending the class, submit a copy of duly signed dropping form not later than the date set by the
university registrar. Failure to comply with this requirement would mean a grade of 5.00 in the
course. Please be guided accordingly.
8.7 Regulations and Restrictions in the Classroom
Inside the classroom, the student should behave properly so that lectures/discussions will
not be interrupted. The following will be strictly observed during the conduct of the class.
1. All cell phones and other electronic gadgets must be turned off.
2. Eating, drinking and smoking are not allowed.
3.Chatting, talking with seatmates (except when in group/cell discussion is required by the
instructor) is prohibited.
4. Reading newspapers, magazines, pocketbooks and the like are not allowed.
5. Going in and out of the room without permission from the instructor.
6. Being excused by friends or peers from outside just for any reason is not allowed except
for emergency cases concerning family problems or administrative reasons.
7. Playing games, cards or any form of gambling is strictly prohibited.
