Section 2. Honorable dismissal is voluntary withdrawal from the University with the
consent of the Chairman/Dean or his representative. All indebtedness to the
university must be settled before a statement of Honorable Dismissal is issued.
The statement shall indicate that the student withdraws in good standing as far
as character and conduct are concerned. If a student was dropped from the
rolls on account of poor scholastic performance, a statement to that effect may
be added to the Honorable Dismissal.

Section 3. A student who leaves the University for reasons of suspension, unofficial
dropping, or expulsion due to disciplinary action shall not be entitled to
Honorable Dismissal. Should he be permitted to receive his Transcript of
Records or certification of his academic status in the University, it should
contain a statement of the disciplinary action meted against him.
ARTICLE XX. LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Section 1. Prolonged leave of absence during a school term may be granted for valid
reasons and should be requested in a written petition to the Chairman/Dean.
The petition should state the reason for the leave of absence and must specify
the period of the leave.

Section 2. The College, through the Chairman/Dean or his duly authorized representative,
shall inform the Registrar and the parent/guardian of every student granted a
leave of absence indicating the reasons for the same.

Section 3. For leave of absence availed of during the second half of the semester, the
faculty concerned shall be required to indicate the class standing of the
student (passing or failing) at the time of application of the leave.

Section 4. No application for leave of absence shall be approved without indicating the
student’s class standing by the faculty concerned. This, however, should not
be entered in the Official Report of Grades.

Section 5. If the student files a leave of absence after ¾ of the total number of hours
prescribed for the course has already elapsed, the faculty concerned may give
him a grade of “5” if his class standing up to the time of his withdrawal was
below “3”.

Section 6. No leave of absence shall be granted not later than 2 weeks before the last
day of classes during the semester. If the inability of the student to continue
his classes is due to illness or similar just causes, his absence during the
period shall be considered excused. In such case, the student shall be
required to present a medical certificate as proof of the illness to the faculty
concerned.

Section 7. A Student who withdraws from a college without formal leave of absence shall
have his registration privilege curtailed.
