41. Committing administrative offenses while attending the
graduation ceremonies

• Persons who are participating in the graduation
ceremonies as candidates shall be considered as students and
therefore are covered by the provisions of the Student’s Code of
Conduct until the end of the graduation ceremonies (recessional).

• Such persons committing administrative offenses shall
be subjected to investigation after the graduation ceremonies, in
which case, credentials (like Transcript of Records, University
Clearance, Certificate of Good Moral Character) requested by these
persons will not be released until sanction has been determined by
the investigating committee and approved by proper authority.

• The provisions of this Code shall not be construed to
exclude other offenses and breaches of discipline prescribed and
punished in Resolutions of the Academic Council, or in rules of
discipline promulgated by the President of the University.

• The University reserves the right not to take action under
this Code on complaints filed against a student/s for purely private
transactions or relationships where the moral character of the
student/s charged is not involved, as determined by the University
authorities. In all such cases, the complaint shall be returned to
the complainant with this determination.

• Any disciplinary action taken under this Code shall have
no bearing whatsoever on any civil and/or criminal action that the
offended party may commence in a court of justice.
