BRIEF HISTORY OF
CONCEPCION HOLY CROSS COLLEGE, INC.
The school was founded by Mr. Pablo Lansangan Tioseco
Sr. who was educated by the Jesuits of Ateneo de Manila. From
the Jesuits, he learned the true value of getting a good quality
education. With this conviction in his mind and heart, he brought
his ten (10) daughters for schooling at Assumption Convent, which
was the Alma Mater of his wife, Gloria Y. Pineda. An exclusive
school for girls, this school was managed by German Sisters who
were known for being good disciplinarians. His two (2) sons
attended an exclusive technical school for boys, managed by
foreign priests.

During his regular visits to this town, he would see from his
window, many boys and girls in high school uniforms getting public
rides to get home. Seeing this, he often asked himself and
wondered how and where all these children could get a higher
education that they deserved, an education that would open doors
for them to have a good future and better quality of life.

He tapped his second eldest daughter, Raquel, who had


been in the academe for 18 years, and was then the President of
Holy Cross College, Sta. Rosa Nueva Ecija. He explained to her
his dream of providing higher education to high school graduates
for them to gain opportunities for a better future and as payback
time for God’s graces for the insurmountable blessings and
goodness to his family.

Dr. Raquel T. Sta. Ines heeded his call to be part of this


noble dream and vision. She would drive her husband’s jeep from
Gapan, Nueva Ecija and would fetch her first cousin, Mrs. Cristina
Aquino Pineda, who also had many years of teaching experience
from Maryknoll College. Together, they drove to different
barangays, giving flyers and announcing the forthcoming opening
of the College in the heart of the town.

In school year of 1995 - 1996, the school opened its doors


to welcome 75 students and just a handful of employees.

After almost 26 years of fruitful existence coupled with hard


work and dedicated service, Concepcion Holy Cross College, Inc.
a non-stock, non-profit corporation and founded by a man with the
4|Student Handbook 2O20
passion and genuine spirit of sharing God’s bountiful blessings,
now boasts of a strong 1,700 students population and four (4)
concrete, 3 - 4 storey buildings. The school has been offering pre-
school, elementary and secondary education and is now on its
K-12 programme as mandated by the government.

Concepcion Holy Cross College, Inc., offers CHED


recognized Bachelor degree courses in Criminal Justice

Science, Business Administration, Hospitality Management and
Technical/Vocational Courses (Tech-Voc) recognized by TESDA.

ATTENDANCE
Regular and punctual attendance during virtual or face-to-

unnecessary absences and tardiness are subject to disciplinary
action. (See student discipline portion in this Student Handbook).

As much as possible, appointments on medical concerns


with physician should be made on weekends or after class hours
so that class attendance and participation will not be sacrificed. A
student is held responsible for all assignments and for the entire
content of the subject missed during his/her absences.

1. Punctuality
Prompt and regular attendance in classes and
assemblies is required of all students. Students who come or
join the virtual class fifteen minutes (15) from the start of the
13 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
class are considered late or tardy. Habitual lateness (i.e. a
total frequency of three times a month) shall be treated as one
unexcused absence from the class.

2. Absence Regulation
As per CMO No. _40 s. 2008 or Manual of
Regulation for Private Higher Education (MORPHE, 2008),
Sec 101, Art XXI “A student who has incurred absences of
more than 20% of the prescribed class and laboratory periods
in a given term or semester shall fail and earn no credit for the
course or subject.”
As an exercise of management prerogative, the
maximum allowable absences of a student per semester are:
a. For the subjects held once a week, 3 absences
b. For subjects held twice a week, 5 absences;
c. For subjects held 3 times a week, 7 absences;
d. For subject held 4 times a week, 10 absences; and
e. For subjects held 5 times a week, 14 absences.

A student who incurs more than the allowable


absences in any subject shall be given a final grade of FA
(failure due to absences), regardless of the Student’s
performance in the class.

Attendance is counted from the official first day of


Classes regardless of the date of enrollment.

3. Excused/Unexcused Absences
Only school-sanctioned/approved activities that may
necessitate the absence of students from classes may be
considered excused. However the teacher/activity organizer
and students must inform in writing all teachers/classes that
will be affected at least one (1) class day before the activity.

3.1 Excuse Letter and Medical Clearance/Certificate

A student who has been absent must present an


excuse letter, signed by the student and parents/guardian with
inclusive dates and reason for the absence, noted by Program
Chair and approved by the OSA Coordinator or the Dean
before he/she is admitted in the class.

A student who has been absent for three or more


days due to illness must secure a clearance from the school

14 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0

coordinator and the Dean before the student is admitted in the

4. Readmission
It is CHCC’s commitment to inculcate to its students the
value of responsibility and reliability by encouraging them to
get the full benefit of their education, reflected by good
scholastic and attendance record.
Monitoring and recording attendance data should not
be considered as an administrative burden but a way of
improving the school’s services.

hours of attending classes. The student should secure a
re-admission slip from the office of OSA and to be signed
by the Program Chair and the College Dean.

death certificate in cases of death of immediate family
members should be presented by the student for his/her
absences to be reconsidered.

given FA (Failure due to Absences).

STANDARDS FOR STUDENT BEHAVIOR

Students Discipline
A discipline system is an integral part of a holistic
education. It is always intended to correct not just to punish any
student’s misbehavior. It is positive, preventive and collaborative.
This is founded on the idea that educational goals and objectives
can be realized if there is order and discipline, cooperation and
sensitivity to others.

22 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
Each student is expected to promote the school’s Vision-
Mission Statement and to uphold the good name of a true
CHCCian at all times, by showing respect to proper authorities,
taking into consideration the rights of fellow students and protecting
the good name of the school. To ensure an atmosphere conducive
to Christian Catholic education, the students are expected to
adhere to the following norms of social behavior.

Politeness and Courtesy


The norms of politeness and courtesy (such as proper
greeting, kissing hands of elders and offering assistance) should
be observed in all dealings with school officials, faculty members,
staff, fellow students and visitors.

Utmost Cooperation
Students are expected to perform to their best capacity and
cooperate fully in all class and school activities.

Self-Discipline
When moving from one room to another, students should
proceed properly in an orderly fashion so as not to disturb classes
that are going on. Rowdy behavior, use of foul language, whistling
or making unwanted noise, running, dragging of shoes, loitering in
the corridor during class hours, or any action of the student which
tends to disrupt ongoing classes or activities is subject to sanction.
CHCC students are expected to ably represent the school
by exhibiting proper behavior at all times in all activities, whether
on- or off-campus, including transit (inside the vehicle, i.e., bus,
van, etc.) to and from the venues.

Care of School Property


Classroom paraphernalia are to be used solely for
instruction purposes. Hence, these should be handled with
reasonable care. Anybody who damages school property
accidentally or intentionally is required to pay or replace it.

Interpersonal Social Interaction


A healthy interpersonal social interaction is encouraged by
the school. However, any behavior that is scandalous and/or
contrary to norms of morality is strictly prohibited and subject to
sanction.

Respect for Property of Fellow Student

23 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
School materials owned by fellow students should be
properly taken care of. Lost items should be turned over to the Lost
and Found Section under OSA.

Intellectual Honesty
A student must always respect the work of others,
published or unpublished, and should, therefore, accordingly and
properly cite all references used for scholarly work. The CHCC
student does not commit plagiarism or intellectual dishonesty in
any form. Hence, copying a text word-for-word or lifting of key
words and phrases or any other form not mentioned here shall be
construed as plagiarism if sources/authors are not properly
acknowledged.

Persons in Authority
All school officials, teachers and other employees (either
hired directly or through the agency), and student leaders are
persons in authority who are duty bound to enforce the school’s
policies and rules of discipline.
STUDENTS DISCIPLINE

The formation of character is one of the most important


features of the educational system in CHCC. For this reason, the
imposed discipline, while observant of the rights and feelings of
others, is firm, especially when the reputation of the student body
and institution is at stake. Students are expected to manifest within
and outside the school, the respect for order, morality, personal
honor, and rights of others, which are required of God-fearing
mean and women.
In any cases of infraction of school rules and regulations
and policies, it is necessary that a written violation report or
complaint must be submitted to the OSA Coordinator furnished
copy to all Program Chairs and to the Dean before any disciplinary
problem may be treated by the Discipline Council.

NOTE:

The list/classification of offenses appearing herein is not all-


inclusive. Therefore, students may be meted disciplinary action for
offenses other than those listed herein or under subsequent
amendment or modification of this handbook. Likewise, the school
reserves the right to impose lighter or stiffer penalties for offense
committed depending on the aggravating /attending circumstances
of the case. In cases where two or more offenses carrying different
penalties are committed under one given situation or instance, the
heaviest penalty imposable shall be considered or applied.

In case there is an impasse between the school authority’s


and the student’s testimonies, the Dean and Discipline Council
shall determine, after careful investigation, which of the testimonies
shall have more weight.

PROCEDURE ON DUE PROCESS


Due process is the opportunity given to a student to present
his/her side of a disciplinary incident after notice of the complaint is
given and, if he/she denies the report or complaint, an explanation
of the evidence is provided to the student.

31 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
The specific requirements for notice and hearing depend on
the gravity of the disciplinary complaint against the students.

For offenses where the penalty of suspension of two (2)


days or less is imposable, the following constitutes due process:

1. The OSA coordinator confers with the student. When


conferring with the student, the disciplining authority gives
notice of the report or complaint; explains the evidence
against the student; asks the student whether he denies
the complaint; and allows the student to give his/her
account of the incident. In the student conference, it is not
necessary that there is a lapse of time from the incident or
misconduct to the notice and opportunity given to the
student. The conference may take place immediately after
the incident. However, the OSA coordinator will assess
whether there is a need for a parent conference before the
student is sent home.

2. In the parent conference, the review of the case will be


made in the presence of the parent or lawful guardian of
the student. The student may still present his case to the
disciplinary authority. Upon completion of the parent
conference, the disciplinary authority will decide on
whether or not to suspend the student and the duration of
the suspension. If the parent or lawful guardian does not
appear in the conference, the disciplinary authority will
decide on the basis of the student conference.

3. All suspensions must be recommended by the Dean and


approved by the the Managing Director. The periods of
suspension for specific offenses serve as guidelines. The
disciplinary authority or the Dean, may impose a different
period of suspension based on its judgment on the
appropriateness of the penalty to the student concerned.
4. For offenses where the penalty to be imposed is a period
of suspension of more than ten (10) days or in exclusion
cases, requirements of due process will be more formal
and specified. The procedure is as follows:

a. The student will be given a written complaint of the


disciplinary offense with a notice of the nature of the
offense and the possible penalty that may be
imposed. Together with the complaint, the student will
be provided with the evidence against him/her. If the
32 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
student refuses to receive the complaint, a statement
of such refusal will be made in the
transmittal/receiving copy. Thereafter, the complaint
will be sent by registered mail or courier service to the
address indicated in the student records.

b. The student will be given a period of three (3) school


days from receipt of the complaint to be able to submit
his answer and his/her evidence. The student may be
assisted by counsel in the preparation of the answer.

5. The complaint will be scheduled for hearing before the


Discipline Council.

The Council may ask clarificatory questions to the student or to any


person who may be called to testify o the matter. Cross-

determine the facts of the case and it will be conducted in a
summary and nonlitigious manner.

33 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
The Council will make its judgment as a body and for approval by
the President. A copy of the decision will be given to the parents or
lawful guardian of the student.

The student may appeal the decision of the Discipline Council to


the President within a period of five school days from the receipt of
the decision. The decision of the President is final. If the judgment
of the Council is affirmed on appeal, the penalty imposed will be
served by the student.

FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES


COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION
Office of the President of the Philippines

January 25, 1998

CHED Order No. 4, 1995

PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST VIOLENCE AND SANCTIONS ON FRATERNITIES


AND OTHER STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

TO: CHED Regional Directors


Head of Private Schools, Colleges and Universities
President of State Colleges and Universities

1. The fundamental law of the land requires the state through its intrumentalities, in
particular the educational agencies to promote the physical, intellectual and social
well-being of the youth, the students. They are encouraged to go to schools of all
levels to utilize their God-given talents for self-development and, collectively, for nation
building. They are encouraged further to join all kinds of organizations that foster
camaraderie and instill brotherhood.
2. Historically, fraternities were founded to promote brotherhood and camaraderie among
groups of people including students in colleges and universities. Fraternities and other
student organizations must serve to forge not only brotherhood as the ultimate
bonding of all men and women inside and outside the confines of universities, but
must exist to preserve the value of human life. Their talents and energies must be
channeled and utilized for collective development.

56 | S t u d e n t H a n d b o o k 2 O 2 0
3. Recent events involving fraternities tend to erode the moral values inculcated by
parents and the educational institution. Students dedication to study, respect for
authority, observance of the rules and regulations of educational institutions are
ignored. Existing laws and other administrative issuance seem not enough to deter
some students to inflict physical and mental injuries on others and, in so many
instances, cause the loss of life of students.
4. In order to have an atmosphere of brotherhood among fraternities and other student
organizations, all educational institutions of higher learning are encouraged to promote
programs and projects that will produce responsible students and will instill the value
of human life for a protective future.

The following preventive measures are therefore suggested:


1. Monthly meetings of heads of fraternities in a Council of Equals.
2. Regular gatherings of fraternity members through sports, cultural events and
joint community projects where there are cross memberships.
3. Reporting of a potential conflict tot he head of the fraternity as a standard
procedure. The head in turn will patch it up with his counterpart.
4. Internal policing by the fraternities.
5. Long term re-orientation of role fraternity to move away from macho conflicts
into a society of brotherhood that stresses studies, productivity, creativity, and
sense of community and nationhood.
6. More interaction between the school administration and the fraternities.
7. Parents informed about the participation of their children in fraternities.
8. Use of fraternity alumni members to counsel residence members.
9. Fraternities be obliged to have ethical code in their organizational vision and
