XII. CLASSROOM POLICIES
Cellphones
Receiving or sending cellphone calls or text messages in classrooms, computer labs, or library is inappropriate and impolite.
Except in emergency cases and with the instructor’s permission.

Class Attendance & Participation

Regular attendance, as specified by the instructor, is expected of all students. Extended absence/non-participation (due illness or
injury) should be reported to your instructor (and/or to the University clinic) immediately. A student who has incurred three (3)
consecutive unexcused absences or 20% accumulated absences shall be automatically dropped from the subject. Arrival fifteen (15)
minutes after a 3-hour class or thirty (30) minutes after a 5-hour class has commenced is considered tardiness and three (3) tardiness
are equivalent to one-day absence. Students should make a good use of their time if the faculty member does not come within 30
minutes. They shall stay in the classroom or library and observe proper decorum

Classroom Behavior & Civility

Page 14
 UNIVERSITY OF CALOOCAN CITY
College of Business and Accountancy
Biglang Awa St. cor Catleya St. Grace Park East, Caloocan City

Being a UCC student requires appropriate and respect for others. Instructors can set classroom rules of conduct, require
adherence to standards to civility appropriate to learning, and have the right to remove anyone for disruption or obstruction of those
standards, or for violation of any law or existing University policies.

Plagiarism and Cheating

Cheating is obtaining or intentionally giving unauthorized information to create an unfair advantage in an examination,
assignment, or classroom situation. Plagiarism is the act of presenting and claiming words, ideas, data, programming code or creation
of others as one’s own. Plagiarism maybe intentional – as in a false claim of authorship – or unintentional – as in a failure to document
information sources using APA (American Psychological Association) or other style sheets or manuals adopted by instructors at the
university. Presenting ideas in the exact or near exact wording as found in source material constitutes plagiarism, as does patching
together paraphrase statements without in-text citation. Disciplinary action may include a failing grade on an assignment or test, a
failing grade for the course, suspension or expulsion from the college, as described in the existing University policies.

Smoking
All UCC buildings are designated smoke-free.

XIII. REQUIREMENTS

Page 15
 UNIVERSITY OF CALOOCAN CITY
College of Business and Accountancy
Biglang Awa St. cor Catleya St. Grace Park East, Caloocan City

Any material missed due to absences is the student’s responsibility to undertake. Submissions of assignments and activities will be
accepted on specified dates of submission. Considerations may be given with written explanation letter signed by parents/ guardian with
endorsement from the course coordinator.

Academic work submitted by students shall be the result of their thought, research or self-expression. Academic work is defined as,
but not limited to tests, quizzes whether taken electronically or on paper; projects, either individual or group; classroom presentations, and
homework.
