RULE VIII
STUDENTS’ CODE OF CONDUCT

Article 1. General Provisions.

a) The Code shall apply to all bona fide pupils/students in the elementary, secondary,
tertiary and graduate levels of the University. A pupil/student is considered “bona
fide” if being officially enrolled, he attends his classes or performs any school
activity inside or out of the school campus during school days or when required to
perform special school related activity or authorized to do so on non-school days.
He is considered “on vacation” or “on leave” during break of school terms or during
holidays or vacation including Saturdays and Sundays, when his school-student
relationship is temporary severed.

b) Every bona fide student shall obey the laws of the land, the rules and regulations of
the University and standards of good society.

c) A bona fide pupil/student enrolled in the University assumes an obligation to conduct
himself in a manner which befits a member of the academic community and which does
not hamper the university from the discharge of its educational functions. He thus
accepts the rules and regulations which the University prescribed for its members
to enforce its effective role as an educational institution.

d) The right of the University to impose sanctions against pupil’s/ student’s improper
conduct is derived from and inherent in its obligations to:

 Preserve its standard for academic performance and achievements

 Protect its property and the property of the members of its
community
 Secure the health and safety of persons in the
University community

 Preserve peace, insure orderly procedures and student maintain
morale
