DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: FOUNDATIONS OF SERVICE
SHORT TERM AY 2018-2019
SLU NSTP: FORMING COMPETENT, CREATIVE, AND CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERS SOCIALLY

INVOLVED AS YOUNG MISSIONARIES AND NATION BUILDERS
I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES:
1. NSTP CWTS 1 is a pre-requisite training subject to another subject NSTP CWTS 2. Both subjects are
mandated by RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001. Gleaned from the law, these subjects engage college students to
be more nationalistic and patriotic by aggressively integrating themselves in the promotion of community welfare.
The training program as fundamentally stipulated in the NSTP law possesses a genuine institutional nature. An
implementing Higher Education Institution inputs its capabilities, culture, vision-mission, and values towards the
preparation of students in national and community service involvement. Hence, the foundations of Service
Louisians are re-oriented to include the vision-mission and values of the University that can equip them with the
requisites of Filipino community service involvement. Other lessons incorporated here as per the law and its IRR
and other pertinent memos are good citizenship, volunteerism, crime prevention and safety promotion, anti-drug
abuse, environmental promotion, health, emergency response, calamity and disaster risk reduction and
management, among many others. Relatedly, SLU-NSTP incorporates the mandate of RA 9418 or the National
Volunteer Act of 2007. College students must continue to volunteer their time, efforts, and profession in community
transformation. And as Louisians, such transformation embodies Filipino and missionary culture. NSTP CWTS 1 is
a modular training subject which is mostly classroom-based training with minor field exposures. It employs various
group dynamics and creative instructional technologies that can provide students the basic but optimum hands-on
or student centered preparations for the said community service involvement. This subject shall introduce students
to be more meaningfully involved in community welfare participation during their NSTP CWTS 2, during their stay in
the University after their NSTP, when they shall be tasked to extend their professional practice to communities
when they have graduated or are employed, and wherever they wish to volunteer. Incorporating the various training
requirements stipulated in the NSTP IRR, this part of the training will focus on forming competent, creative, and
Christian volunteers socially involved as young missionaries and nation builders.
2. Community service involvement is among the trademarks of a Louisian. SLU was established with a
mission towards academic excellence and missionary spirit. Not only must Louisians be competent, creative and
Christian, but they must also be socially involved in community service. Hence, NSTP, just like any community
service involvement program in the University, is an integral subject of a Louisian. NSTP may be perceived as an
ordinary subject. But it is not ordinary for a Louisian who wishes to genuinely live his Louisian identity. SLU
students are required to equally give their best.
3. Community service as a trademark of a Louisian is a character that understands and respects the individual
differences of persons that make them unique and significant. It is a character that helps discover and enable every
person’s capabilities or potentials. Community service is enabling each one to live well with others in their unique
and individual differences.
4. SLU-NSTP underscores service or work ethics and character which are also of competitive advantage when
the Louisian graduate applies for work or when already employed. SLU-NSTP emphasizes building service or work
ethics and character.
5. As per RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001, the primary goals of NSTP are: civic consciousness, defense
preparedness, developing the ethics of service, patriotism, and good citizenship. It must be added that the major
goal of Community Service Involvement (CSI) is building a community where all people, regardless of differences,
can live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved quality of life for all.
6. SLU-NSTP is called a missionary apostolate. It is one concrete way of evangelizing others by letting them
feel or encounter Divine providence and presence through the meaningful services rendered with them. SLU was
established as a missionary institution. As Louisians, it is our mission to help ourselves and other people transform
lives, in its various dimensions, according to God’s teachings.
CREATINGINITIATIVES FOR COMPASSION AND MERCY

ONE HEART…ONE SOUL
7. As missionary service providers, Louisian students are considered to be apostles –“ambassadors of
goodwill” (the word “apostles” originated from the Greek word “apostolos” which in Hebrew word is called
“Shalliack”. Shalliack means ambassadors of goodwill.)
8. Incorporating the above, the following are the program core-focus of SLU-NSTP: a) community inclusive
solidarity; b) Volunteerism and good citizenship; c) the CICM Missionary Legacy; d) youth integrated transformation;
e) community project planning and management; f) Louisian core values; g) richness of indigenous Filipino culture;
and h) work ethics/character and preparedness.
9. Missionary service is illustrated by delivering services characterized by the virtues of simplicity –living and
being contented with basic needs only so that any extras could be reserved for future needs or could be shared to
the needy, loyalty-obeying and practicing the vision-mission and culture of an institution or organization one is
affiliated with, availability-responding to a need with one’s actual presence and participation, Preferential option for
the needy-greater compassion and prioritization of the real needy or the most in need, Volunteerism-giving of
unconditional service, Frontiership-responding to a critical concern or issue or standing by a critical principle, Self-
sacrifice and charity-“going beyond borders” to help the “needy,” Community solidarity-living with others regardless
of their differences, Relevance-transformation with greater impact, and love of the sacred-inner satisfaction and
happiness in practicing righteousness as taught by the “Supreme Divine”.
10. Transformative service is illustrated by delivering relevant or much needed assistance through one’s
competent capabilities, creativity and resourcefulness. It is helping ensure that a society recognizes respects and
readily provides opportunities and capabilities for every person to be significant, functional, or self-reliant in the
society. Transformative service is promoting an inclusive society.
11. NSTP recognizes college students to be growing more mature. SLU-NSTP, by virtue of the University’s
mission and its motto of “wisdom builds” is orienting SLU NSTP students to excel and be creative in their respective
courses or specialization and use such to help transform communities during community service and even when
employed later on, guided by Christian principles. NSTP also requires a growing level of technical competency or
specialization, and maturity. “One cannot give what one does not have.” Else, one can best serve with what one
already has (knowledge, attitude, skills, or other personal resources). With the varied courses and apostolates of
students, Community Service Involvement (CSI) can help address the integrated concerns of a community.
12. NSTP training is providing the NSTP student the exposure to be an independent missionary worker: to
explore, discover and maximize his creativity under minimum but substantial supervision and working under
pressure while personally observing command of activity success and safety.
13. NSTP provides experience to the NSTP student to prepare himself for the world of work or employment after
graduation. Employment and work are highly competitive. Work applicants should display capabilities for minimum
supervision, self-reliance, working under pressure, multiple capabilities for multi-tasking, mature, teamwork,
personality, attitude, etc…
14. Community Service Involvement (CSI) also builds a community where all people, regardless of differences,
can live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved quality of life for all.
15. CSI prioritizes sectors or dimensions of utmost need or attention (lost, powerless, poor, excluded, etc), off-
campus or on-campus.
16. CSI incorporates value transformation in well-off communities for them to appreciate and pursue the concern
of reaching out to the needy communities.
17. CSI engages community participation and teamwork. Every community member or a worker has great
potentials and capabilities. When given the chance, everyone becomes significant in the community.
18. People who want development to happen should strive for it; because development is not offered on a silver
platter. Partner communities should always “share a counterpart;” they are always capable in one way or another.
19. CSI is integrated and not piecemeal. It targets the various and holistic conditions of persons in the
community: physiological, intellectual, socio-cultural, technological, spiritual, and psycho-emotional, among others.
20. CSI is immersing one’s self with the community. Go to the people and live among them. Community
service providers cannot significantly help a community if they just stay and work within their offices. Service
providers must integrate themselves to genuinely feel and respond to community concerns.
21. Start with and build on what the people have and know: CSI is beginning with the indigenous resources,
technologies and structures that a community has. Being an innovator is advantageous as long as one’s action
conforms to what the community believes in and does, and which does not adversely affect their physical
environment and rich culture.
22. CSI is not merely a “relief” but a “release”. CSI is focused on liberating community members from their
concerns by equipping them with the capability to resolve their own concerns rather than on merely giving “relief
goods” or dole outs. CSI should also focus on resolutions that are long lasting rather than only on short term ones.

Indeed, CSI should not simply be “giving a fish to a man for he will live only for a day” but rather, it should be
“teaching a man how to fish so he can catch fish by himself and can live for lifetime.CSI is helping persons help
themselves. CSI is ensuring that others become self-reliant or self-sustaining. Meanwhile, relief system must only
be pursued in appropriate relief situations.
23. CSI requires a relevant level of technical competency or specialization, and maturity. “One cannot give what
one does not have.” Else, one can best serve with what one already has (intellectual or practical skills, or other
personal resources). Hence, it is expected that students should develop knowledge, skills, capabilities, and attitude
responsive to specific needs
24. However, CSI is limited by the feasibility of an activity, the capability of the participants, or logistics.
Participants should undergo capability retooling if needed.
25. CSI is establishing a working rapport with the concerned partners and clients.
II – GENERAL GUIDELINES:
1. All Filipino citizen students (singular or dual citizenship) who are graduating in SLU are required to enroll,
practice, and finish their NSTP in SLU.
2. Cross-enrollment of NSTP to other schools is restricted. Louisians should enroll it in the university since it
has a special leaning on the Louisian way of life. Cross enrollment is allowed only if NSTP is not offered in the
University. There should be no reason that SLU students cannot enroll NSTP in the University since the NSTP is
scheduled in the students’ respective curriculum which means that the NSTP just like the academic subjects in the
curriculum are scheduled to be enrolled in due time. Meanwhile, completion of NSTP in other schools is allowed
only in the case of transferees who finished such before transferring to SLU.
3. Cross enrollees from other schools taking their NSTP in SLU are required to follow the NSTP as
programmed in the University.
4. NSTP 1 and NSTP 2 cannot be enrolled at the same time in a given term, even in the same or different
school, except in the case of a crash course. If a student, for whatever reason, has enrolled and completed NSTP 2
before NSTP 1, the NSTP 2 that is enrolled and completed is invalidated and the student shall be required to take
NSTP 1 and to re-take NSTP 2 after completing and passing NSTP 1.
5. The schedule of enrollment and finishing of NSTP depends on the course one is enrolled in. Please check
with your school the semester, term or year level you can enroll NSTP 1 or NSTP 2. Generally, however, all
students should finish their NSTP 1 during their freshman year and their NSTP 2 anytime thereafter.
6. As part of the enrollment process of the NSTP, students are required to further properly
submit/accomplish/fill up the following:
a. form 1
b. ID pictures (2 pieces, 2”X2” in size, should be recent and with white-colored background). These pictures
will be pasted in the NSTP form 1 and journal of the student.
c. Submit group filing expandable folder/envelope: see required format and color coding with the instructor.
d. Secure, read and master the Manual of Procedures and Guidelines (MOPG) of NSTP 1.
e. Enlistment in a training group of the class the student belongs
f. Verification of names in the enrollment list/portal during the first day of classes. Check that you are enrolled
in a class code of NSTP that is not dissolved.
g. 1 long folder (see required sample)
h. Secure and start accomplishing your SLU-NSTP journal every nstp class or activity beginning the first day of
classes: keep your entries in full details. Specify the date, time, place, agenda, business taken, activities or topics
undertaken or discussed, etc… ALWAYS BRING ALONG YOUR JOURNAL DURING NSTP CLASS OR ACTIVITY.
NO JOURNAL, NO ATTENDANCE/ CONSULTATION.
i. Journal specifications: (a) composition notebook– at least 90 leaves; (b) non-spiral (c) color coded
j. Be ready to submit specimen of the ID (with picture, signature and address) of your guardians while studying
in the University. You will submit this together whenever you will be asked to accomplish and submit a waiver and
other related papers. Your guardian must be either or both of your parents. But either or both of your parents must
be accessible or staying with you in your residence while studying so that should you need their original signatures
(not photocopied) immediately, you will be able to secure such immediately. Photocopy at least two IDs of either
parents or both. At least one of the IDs should be a government issued ID (ex. Voters ID, SSS, GSIS, license, etc).
The other ID may be private issued or government issued just the same. The IDs should be photocopied on one
long bond paper. Beside the Photocopied IDs, the concerned parent should again attach original signature to
match the Photocopied signature on the ID. In the event that your parents are not accessible or are not staying with
you in your residence while studying in the University, inquire from your parent should they rather authorize you or

give you full responsibility of yourself in the NSTP throughout the term. Otherwise, your parent should authorize
other persons to act as your guardian in their absence. In these instances where your parents will authorize you or
another person as your guardian, follow these requirements: secure from the NSTP Office a special authorization
form that your parents are authorizing or giving you full responsibility of yourself, or another person to act as your
guardian. Your parents will accomplish the form properly and submit it back attaching to it their Photocopied ID as
your parents and the Photocopied ID of your authorized guardian with the ID specimen specifications specified
above. In the absence of the parent to serve or to authorize a guardian for the said student, the immediate family
member (grandparent, brothers or sisters of either the mother or the father, or sibling who is at least 21 years old) of
the student may be considered as alternative. This requirement is needed to ensure the proper accomplishing of
activity papers needing signatures and authorization of parents or guardians. Students should have their own
copies of their respective specimen (ID, signature and authorization) in their own personal file. Whenever they
submit documents bearing the signature of their guardian (waivers, letters, etc) they must photocopy such specimen
and attach it to the said document. (NOTE: no parent signature specimen means NSTP activity participated in will
be invalidated)
k. Blood Type Certification: secure form or format from the NSTP Office
l. Secure your official NSTP Uniform (NSTP T-shirt): Your required NSTP 1 uniform is the white NSTP t-shirt.
For specific details on your Uniform, please secure or read our guidelines on NSTP Uniform from the NSTP Office.
Read and understand first the guidelines on NSTP Uniform before acquiring and using one. Any acquired Uniform
and using of Uniform that did not comply with said guidelines on NSTP Uniform will be invalidated and not honored.
Uniforms are available at the University Bookstore.
m. Prepare and always bring along emergency/first aid kit
7. In support to the NSTP apostolate on Voters and Election Education and Responsible Participation, NSTP
students of voting age (18 y/o and above) are encouraged to submit photocopy of voters ID (show original copy for
verification), registration/voting certificate or any proof of COMELEC registration for merit, remedial or additional
hours purposes. To ensure a responsible exercise in governing our country, we register, we vote, and we vote
responsibly. Be referred to your respective supervising instructor for the deadline of submission.
8. Required to vote in the SLU SSC-KASAMA Election: see your NSTP Instructor for the details of this
requirement as this is only applicable every first semester terms.
9. Listen to, understand, and follow training and clerical instructions. As a training activity, students should be
guided by instructions. Whenever you perform a particular activity, always secure and follow specific instructions.
But students should follow instructions only with the expressed authority of the assigned instructor or the substitute
instructor in the absence of the assigned instructor as also authorized by the NSTP Office. Students should not just
get instructions from the staff unless instructors concerned have given written instruction or authority to the said
staff. NSTP training follows appropriate procedures, guidelines and format.
10. As per the RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001 and its IRR, a student should complete an attendance of not
less than 54 hours but not more than 90 hours in the enrolled NSTP training for the current term. To
comprehensively cover the training contents prescribed by the law and the various related memoranda from the
Commission on Higher Education, SLU-NSTP students are required to complete the maximum 90-hour training
requirements. Attendance is included as a grade coverage. Indeed, a student who does not complete the exact
total hours determined and specified by the NSTP Office shall be solely accountable for the implication of not
having completed such exact total hours since this will affect his/her grade on attendance, outputs and other related
grading areas (please see grading system below). Should a student with absences opt to beat the exact total hours
that should be completed in the class; provided that the student’s absences are excused, then the student must, on
his/her own initiative and immediately, apply for applicable remedial. However, the grade bearing of the
accomplished remedial therein is case to case. The remedial will only add points to the grade or score for
attendance and not necessarily on the missed outputs. Herein, discretion of the NSTP Office prevails on how to
score or grade such remedial to ensure the grading system of the NSTP is not unreasonably compromised.
Students with excused absences as per OSA’s assessment are not required special graded activity to offset any
missed graded activity during such excused absence(s). Instead, any missed graded activity is computed ratio and
proportion. However, if what was missed out in an excused absence is a major examination or requirement as per
the discretion of the NSTP Office, the concerned student is required to process and undergo a special examination
or similar requirement. Meanwhile, only the time spent in the APPROVED schedules and activities are counted in
the said hours-requirement. Also, only hours spent for PROGRESSING activities are counted in the said hours-
requirement. Hours spent with unreasonably repetitive activities that do not show progress therein are not included.
Should there be a need to repeat a particular activity as part of the lesson for another time or schedule; this should
be APPROVED FIRST by the SI and/or NSTP Coordinator. For instance, a series of meetings which always has
the same unreasonable repetitive agenda will not be counted with multiple hours. This means that if meetings have

taken many hours with an agenda which can reasonably be done in an hour, such will be counted one hour duration
only. Meanwhile, an activity that was done with outstandingly but consuming limited number of hours may also be
credited additional number of hours as deemed by the supervising instructor and the NSTP Office. For instance, an
activity that was done in just an hour but having an outstanding output that is commensurate three hours may be
given additional two hours credit over the one hour time actually spent for the said outstanding activity.
11. Waiting time for walk-in consultation with the coordinator or with the SI is not included in the 54 to 90-hour
requirement. Approved or agreed consultation time if not attended by the SI or NSTP coordinator will still be
credited to the number of hours completion only of those who were present/who reported for the supposed activity
or schedule provided that attendance reports are immediately accomplished and submitted immediately to the
instructor. During such consultation, you are required to bring along your journal or IRR (individual report record).
12. We are holding some conferences and activities on some Sunday schedules in order to complete the
required training hours and modular training lessons of 54 to 90 hours. NSTP during the time of the ROTC before is
normally offered Sundays on whole day basis. Other schools have adopted the Sunday-whole day NSTP schedule.
In our University, we have adopted a schedule scheme which spread our training program to weekdays and
Sundays. Some NSTP activities are held weekdays, some other activities are held Sundays which are normally not
whole day and which are minimal in frequency. This is to free us from all whole day-Sunday schedules to give way
for our other Sunday priorities. Having some Sunday schedules would definitely help us complete and do not
compromise some important coverage of the training program which we cannot complete just by weekday classes.
Also, the Sunday schedule would help all of us not to be disturbed in our other academic classes during the
weekdays were we to hold the forum by then. Hence, please schedule your other Sunday priorities on affected
Sundays to time schedules not covered by the forum time. This strategizing definitely is an opportunity for us to
develop our creativity skills in managing our concerns, a skill that is tremendously needed in the world of work. Our
Sunday forum topics and activities, besides being part of the required training program, are avenues of celebrating
the Lord’s holy day. The topics and activities are helping us enrich ourselves to be the Lord’s well-equipped co-
stewards of his creation as our activities are orienting us towards committing ourselves as the Lord’s “missionary”
agents of protecting and promoting the rest of creation. Hence, it is expected that, likewise, we give our best and
holy participation in the said forum. Herein, it is therefore considered that what prevails as priority in the schedules
of NSTP 1 students during such Sundays is their NSTP 1 activity. Attendance therein is also graded accordingly.
In extreme cases where excuses are merited for such Sunday absences, students concerned must see and secure
approval to be absent from the NSTP Coordinator in advance. Take note, however, that in case absences are
excused, concerned students are still required to accomplish certain requirements or remedial which also includes
those which were missed out during the said absence.
13. Absences, tardiness, or early dismissal are considered deficiencies. Excused absences, tardiness or early
dismissal are given chances for remedial without demerit to offset deficiency in the number of hour-requirement if so
preferred by the concerned student. But take note that deficiency in attendance will mean minus points in the grade
percentage for attendance (see grading system below). Unexcused absences, tardiness or early dismissal are not
given chances for remedial and to be made part of the grade (See grading system below for the scoring of
attendance). Missed graded activities during such unexcused absences, tardiness and early dismissal are
considered zero score point. Indeed, absences, tardiness, and early dismissal are strictly discouraged as these
affect your number of hours performance in the NSTP. Students who need remedial for their excused absences,
tardiness or early dismissal shall report to the NSTP Office and apply for remedial following approved remedial
procedures and activities. Remedial activities shall require parent/guardian’s consent/waiver. For remedial, follow
up with your instructor when you can apply for your remedial.
14. For students who incurred excused absences, tardiness and early dismissal, secure immediately your
excuse slip from OSA and submit a photocopy of your slip and excuse letter to your NSTP instructor immediately
the class day following your absence. Overdue submission of such excuse slip and other pertinent required papers
for such excused absence automatically forfeits the excused status of such absence and eventually treats such
absence as unexcused and thereby be graded or scored accordingly.
15. However, completing the said hours specified by the NSTP Office is not the sole guarantee that a student
will automatically pass the enrolled NSTP. The student should be passing in the requirements specified in the
grading system as listed subsequently. If therein a student is failing inspite of completing the specified number of
hours, a student may still be given a failing grade.
16. For remedial, follow up with your instructor when can you apply for your remedial. See and follow approved
procedures and guidelines for remedial applicable for the current term.
17. Students who were absent, or who missed an attendance or activity, are personally responsible in
compensating on whatever were missed out. Any absence excused or not, will not automatically excuse a student
from any instruction or assignment missed due to such absence. Any absent student is still required to comply with

assignments or responsibilities that are supposed to be accomplished and prepared for the next meeting. Be
strongly advised to keep in touch with your class mates to know any assignments given.
18. The OSA policy on classroom attendance, tardiness and dropping of class card shall apply. The 15 and
more-minute tardiness equals an absence applies during the training regardless of how long the training meeting is.
Moreover, absences are counted per hour. As such for instance, a student who is considered absent in a 3-hour
long continuous activity has incurred three absences.
19. The student is likewise responsible in monitoring whether or not his/her name in the portal is dropped or for
clearance. The student is further responsible in his/her clearance and follow up immediately to the training
instructor. Take note of the NO CLEARANCE, NO ENTRY policy. Students attending classes but whose names
appear in the portal for clearance shall still be CONSIDERED ABSENT and will not be given credit in any activity
participated in. Students are also responsible in monitoring their attendance record to be updated on any tardiness,
absences, early dismissal and when name appears on portal for clearance or dropped as the case may be.
20. Always monitor and ensure the recording of your attendance. Aside from other attendance records and
checking being prepared and done, each member in the group when accomplishing his/her journal should also list
down the names/attendance of co-members who are present during a particular meeting or activity and have the
said present members sign their names in each one’s journal. Do not sign your name in a journal of a group mate
who is absent during the said activity.
21. The entire class is subdivided into thirteen small groups. Each group should choose a leader to represent
and facilitate the group. Just as the leader is accountable of the group members, group members are also
accountable of the leader. This means that the performance of the group is the performance of the leader and the
performance of the leader is the performance of the group. Problems that shall arise therein should be referred
immediately to the training instructor for appropriate attention.
22. During group activities, the leader is expected to ensure the attendance or participation of all members. But
equally, members are responsible in keeping in touch with the leader and with the other members regarding
activities and meetings. No leader or member of the group should just be passive waiting only for instruction from
the group. Everyone in the group should be responsible in ensuring personal attendance and active participation.
23. At the outset, an NSTP student should be trained to be more careful, disciplined or diligent enough in
handling oneself and responsibilities so as not to incur accountability. This will also prepare the student in the very
competitive world of work today to practice his/her best diligence and discipline in handling responsibilities
productively minimizing or avoiding unreasonable accountability. Best work espouses discipline and diligence. To
be productive in the workplace, one has to be disciplined and diligent
24. Students are required to comply and complete given assignments, requirements, or activities within a given
deadline. Late submissions or compliance are given sanctions. Failure to submit or comply with such will cause a
student an INC grade.
25. Process your CLEARANCE at the end of the term (see SI for Instruction):
a. Supervising Instructor’s Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation. Secure
instruction from your assigned SI for the procedure.
b. NSTP Office Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation.
c. INC’s incurred due to failure to process clearance as instructed are given additional remedial requirements.
d. Students who fail to process their clearance or completion of remedial on time will be graded accordingly,
passed or failed (please see grading system). Where a student who failed to process such clearance has standing
accountability, the student will be given an INC grade. Students once given an INC can only process their
completion and clearances during the one month grace period in processing INC’s as printed in the pink grade copy
of the student; provided, the student will apply for completion and clearance immediately at the NSTP Office during
the enrollment period of the immediate term following subsequently. Or immediately upon the official release of the
grade, concerned students must report to the NSTP Office. This is to ensure more time to process completion
requirements that apply to a specific INC case. Students applying for completion during the later period of the one
month grace period where time is insufficient to process the completion requirements are held liable if such time left
will not merit sufficient time to complete the INC and will instead make the INC a permanent mark or the student be
given a failing grade which ever applies. Meanwhile, students concerned should secure from the NSTP Office the
procedure of processing completion and follow such. Not following the procedure of completion of INC’s as given by
the NSTP Office will automatically invalidate and cancel any remedial or completion activity undertaken; concerned
student is still considered having not accomplished any remedial or completion at all and will make any given NSTP
grade permanent.

e. The student is responsible in processing his/her remedial, clearance or completion at the NSTP Office
following the existing procedure and remedial choices being followed for the term as prepared and approved by the
NSTP Office.
f. Process personally your clearance, remedial or completion. Other persons are not allowed to process for
the student concerned. It is neither the responsibility of the teachers nor the NSTP Office to be running after or
processing application for clearances, remedial or completion for students. If there is an extreme need for such,
discretion of the NSTP Office prevails.
g. Students enrolled in the NSTP must immediately check their NSTP grade upon the release of grades for the
concerned term by the University registrar. This is to ensure that should there be correction in any given NSTP
grade, or should a student need to process any INC or NFE NSTP grade, concerned students are able to process
or accomplish such during the one month completion period set by the University. In the event that that concerned
students failed to check right away their grades as soon as released by the University registrar for the concerned
term and any needed correction of NSTP grade or processing of INC/NFE NSTP is not accomplished during the
said completion period set by the University, such correction of grade and processing of INC is not anymore allowed
or accommodated. Whatever NSTP grade given remains permanent and concerned students must re-enroll the
subject should their grade be failed or INC/NFE.
h. Meanwhile, be reminded that processing an incomplete does not automatically mean a passing grade. Any
submitted or completed requirements or examination is still subject to usual evaluation and grading procedures. A
passing grade is given if merited; otherwise, the grade is failed.
25. NSTP students are expected to strictly observe and practice the SLU Code of Discipline (Student Manual)
during their NSTP in and out of the campus.
26. Observe other required additional dress code during training or apostolate. Aside from those specified in the
SLU student manual, all NSTP students, male and female, are not allowed to wear the following during NSTP
training and activities: heavy cosmetics, jewelries, unnatural hair die, improper haircut / hairstyle and others as
instructed. Other dress code requirement specific to certain training activities are also strictly followed.
27. SLU-NSTP aims to train students to be self-reliant and become independently responsible. College students
should prepare themselves for their employment work where ultimately only themselves are responsible in
accomplishing their job; no work place or employment has so far allowed parents or guardians or other persons to
still “cuddle” their children or perform the tasks of their children in their children’s workplace. Hence, NSTP students
should accomplish or process requirements or activities strictly by themselves. Parents, guardians or anyone
except the concerned student himself/herself are NOT ALLOWED to accomplish, be involved or process said
requirements or activities in behalf of a student. In case, parents or any other person, if allowed or consented by the
concerned student, will follow up the standing or performance of said student, it is the discretion of the NSTP Office
how to accommodate said parent/person. It is the procedure of the office, however, that concerns as such be
exhaustively settled first between the student concerned and said parent/person and only after said student has first
settled or processed properly and exhaustively any responsibility or requirements with the NSTP Office
himself/herself, will the NSTP Office attend to said parents or guardians. Parents or guardians are kindly enjoined to
follow the above procedure and guidelines and guide their child to do the same.
28. Meanwhile, any student who has concern about his NSTP should settle things first with his/her supervising
instructor before seeing the NSTP Coordinator or other higher authorities in the University. Also, should there still
be concerns of students and/or their parents or guardians regarding the NSTP of said students, such concern
