1. Student Attendance and Absences

a. Regardless of a disability, all students are responsible for fulfilling the essential
requirements of courses/programs/degrees, including attendance expectations.
b. 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.
c. In compliance with the College regulations governing class attendance, students who stop
attending the class for at least twenty percent (20%) of the required number of class
hours for classroom and laboratory instruction in a semester 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.)
d. 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 major examinations 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.
e. Students are excused from classes to participate in college-approved events or
competitions. Before missing classes, the participants must present their instructors with
a letter signed by both the College Administrator 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.
f. The College 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.
g. 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.
h. 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.

students who do not meet the minimum requirements.
j. Students who are absent for whatever reason are taken against them, whether they are
excused or not. Thus, absence is recorded as such for record’s purposes.
k. Habitual absenteeism shall be reported by the faculty to the Guidance Counselor who will
then conduct counseling on the concerned student. The Guidance Counselor may call
upon the concerned student and/or his/her parents or guardians for a conference.
 l. A student who arrives within the first ten (10) minutes of the class period shall be marked
late; otherwise, he/she will be marked absent even though he is allowed to join the class
for the remainder of the period.
m. If a student is habitually late, the faculty shall refer said student to the Guidance
Counselor for counseling.
n. A student who leaves the class after the roll call and never returns toward the end of the
period shall be considered absent.

hours without an official locator slip issued by the Dean/Head of the concerned faculty or
student.

a. Faculty members are persons in authority and shall have the right to discipline students
who commit infractions such as cheating, shouting, and making unnecessary noise, using
vulgar language, impolite and other unacceptable behaviors as provided for in the
Student Manual. No faculty, however, shall inflict corporal punishment on offending
students nor shall he/she make deductions in the students’ scholastic ratings for acts that

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.
