CLASSROOM POLICIES

1. Absences. Absences are counted starting with absence from the first
day of class for the semester. The students is required to submit an
excuse slip for every absent made to the guidance office and he/she
will be admitted if he/she presented an approved readmission slip
approved by the Dean. Allowed number of absences is not more than
20% of the required number of class.
2. Make-up works. Make-up exams will be given provided that the
reason for not taking the exam is excused as stipulated in the
admission slip.
3. Accessibility. Everyone has an equal right to be educated efficiently
and comfortably. Students with disabilities are encouraged to
discuss their individual needs and accommodation (e.g. sitting in
front or those with visual or hearing problems).
4. Collaboration. Students are encouraged to do group study since it is
usually more effective than youre all by yourself during exams.
Strictly, no collaboration of any form during quizzes and major
exams. Likewise, asking other people to do your work for you is not
considered as collaboration effort, but it is a form of academic
dishonesty.
5. Final Grade. of students wil be posted on-line. Students can meet
with the faculty with regards to the computation of grades.
6. Deadlines. Deliverables not submitted on or before the deadline due
to unacceptable reasons will receive a 10% deduction for each day
late after the deadline not including weekends and holidays.
