Course Policies
Consultation Period
1. Every student should attend classes regularly and punctually. If a student gets
absent, he/she should present an excuse letter signed by the College Secretary,
the Department Chairperson or the College Dean.
2. Students who incur absences in more than 20% of the class hours (equivalent to
8 sessions) may be dropped from the rolls and given a grade of “UD” or “5.0”,
depending on his/her class standing.
3. Special tests/exams and/or exercises/activities may be given to a student who
gets absent with a valid reason provided that he/she presents an excuse letter
signed by the College Secretary, the Department Chairperson or the College
Dean.
4. Assignments/homework and other requirements should be submitted on time.
Late submission of assignments shall not be tolerated and will have
corresponding deductions.
5. Honesty should be practiced at all times. A student who is caught cheating shall
be given a grade of 5.0.
6. Pursuant to Section 16 of the IRR of RA 9710 also known as the “Magna Carta

students. It shall ensure that gender stereotypes and images in the educational
materials shall be observed. Gender-sensitive languages shall be used at all
times.
7. The students are required to undergo intensive review class in Mathematics and
English which will be scheduled by the Department Chairman on the First Week
of every semester subject to approval by the CEAT Dean and VPAA.
