Course Requirements
A. Attendance

1. Regardless of a disability, all students are responsible for fulfilling the essential requirements of courses/programs/degrees, including attendance expectations.
2. No one is allowed to attend a class unless officially enrolled on a credit or non-credit basis with the appropriate fees paid. Students who attend, participate and strive to
complete course requirements without formal enrolment will not receive credit for their work.
3. In compliance with the LUC’s and school regulations governing class attendance, students who stop attending the class for five (5) or six (6) times without justifiable
reasons or who have never attended class will be dropped from the class. (Attendance is defined as physical attendance, participation or presence in an academically
related activity such as submission of an assignment (e.g., homework, research paper), quiz/ examination, or participation in group activities. )
4. Severe consequences on students who miss term exams without a "satisfactory explanation" shall be imposed, namely, a failing grade in the course. To avoid such dire
action, the policy instructs students "unable to take a prelim/midterm/final examination because of illness or other reasons over which they have no control" to notify the
instructor immediately. Students should be prepared to document their illness or the extenuating circumstances that caused them to miss the exam.
5. Students are excused from classes to participate in school-approved events or competitions. Before missing classes, the participants must present their instructors with
a letter signed by both the chairman/president of the Student Affairs and the faculty adviser/coach of the student. These letters confirm the dates and locations of the
 events. An excused absence does not excuse students from completing course work missed during their absences.
6. The school physician will provide students with a medical excuse only if the student's illness warrants such action. If a student is examined by a physician during the
time he/she is ill, the physician will decide at that time if the student is too ill to attend classes. If an excuse is warranted, the physician will specify this on a medical
certificate, which the student will receive and shown to the instructor upon their entrance to the class.
7. Students who face emergencies, such as a death in the family, serious illness of a family member, court appearances, hazardous weather that makes attendance
impossible or other situations beyond their control that preclude class attendance should notify their instructors immediately to be excused from their class.
8. Students without notifications of absence or excuse letters will not be allowed to have make-up course work such as quiz, but will be allowed to take midterm and/or
final examinations.

B. Use of Electronic Devices in the Classroom

Electronic devices such as cellphones may be used in the class under the direction of the instructor for instructional purposes or otherwise directed at the
discretion of the instructor. Students who use their devices for non-instructional purposes will be directed to put the device away; failure to do so will be considered
insubordination and referred to school administration.

C. Class Participation and Behavior

1. Class participation is a very important part of the learning process in this course. Students will be evaluated on the quality of their contributions and insights
2. Any form of cheating will immediately earn you a failing grade.
3. Students are required to adhere to the behavior standards and to refrain from disrupting classes
If a student is disruptive, the faculty member may ask the student to stop the disruptive behavior and warn the student that such disruptive behavior can result in
academic or disciplinary action.
