a) The Code shall apply to all bona fide pupils/students in 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

its community
• Secure the health and safety of persons in the
University community

• Preserve peace, insure orderly procedures and maintain
