ARTICLE VIII. ATTENDANCE
Section 1. When the number of hours lost by absence of student in one term reaches 20%
of the hours of recitation, lecture, laboratory, or any scheduled work in one
subject for that term, he shall be dropped from the class roll. If the majority of
the absences are not excused, he shall be given a grade of “5” upon being
dropped. Time lost by late enrollment shall be considered as time lost by
absence.
Section 2. A Faculty shall control tardiness by reasonable penalties or by whatever
measure may seem best adapted to the circumstances. Late arrival of 15
minutes shall be equivalent to one-hour absence.
Section 3. A student shall be given a grade of “Inc.” in a course if he is absent from the
final examination and if the overall performance of the student is passing. In
case the absence is justifiable, a special examination may be authorized by the
Chairman/Dean, subject to existing rules. However, in case his absence is
unjustifiable, and the class standing of the student is below 3, a grade of “5”
shall be given. The Chairman/Dean shall determine whether an absence is
justifiable or not.
Section 4. A student may, with the consent of his registration adviser and the approval of
the Dean and noted by the Registrar, drop a subject by filling out the prescribed
dropping form.

There shall be no adding or dropping of subjects after 7 days from the start of

classes but not later than the day preceding the mid-term examination shall be
noted with the word “Dropped” in the student permanent record.

Section 6. A student who drops a subject any time after the mid-term examination shall
automatically be given a final grade of “5” for that subject. Any student who
drops without official approval shall be given a grade of “5” in all subjects
enrolled.

When adding a subject, the student should secure the signature of the
registration adviser and the approval of the Dean/College Secretary of the
college concerned. The duly accomplished form shall be submitted to the
