The University President may likewise automatically
suspend classes even if the Typhoon Signal is below 3 but is
accompanied by unabated torrential rains resulting to heavy
floods and/or landslides.

With respect to earthquakes, those of serious intensity
require immediate suspension of classes to enable an inspection
of the building and premises where classes are being held. A
general rule to follow upon announcement of PAG-ASA is that
the intensity of the tremor is at least Intensity V to allow a 24-
hour period from time of the earthquake as the duration of the
suspension of classes.
Other force majeure and fortuitous events or
circumstances which may compel immediate suspension of
classes are fires, epidemics and bomb threats which will be
dealt with accordingly as the occasion arise.

Classes are also suspended for short periods of time to
enable students to attend University convocations or special
gathering. However, these are pre-scheduled events for which
announcements are circulated in advance.

In the absence of the University President, the person
next in rank in the hierarchy of command succession adopted
by the University shall decide on the suspension of classes.
