Page 201 - Area III CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION

Absences and Make-Up Work/ Special Quizzes/Examinations. Absences during
classes for whatever reason or purpose are taken against the student. However, a

student may make up for any work missed during an excused absence. A student with

an excused absence is given a special quiz/class work and must be taken within one
week after the student has resumed attending classes. If a student fails to take the special

quiz within the allowable period, he shall be given no score or a failing mark in the missed

quiz/class work;

A student who misses a quiz/class work due to unexcused absences will not be

given a score or credit for that quiz or class work missed. In like manner, a student given
an “excused” admission slip should be given consideration to take special

quiz/examinations. Otherwise, the teacher may consider not to include the missed
quiz/activity in the computation of the grade should the student not be given special quiz

or activity;

Students who are physically absent from the class due to participation in Athletic
Meets, conferences, trainings, workshops and other student activities where they

represent the University shall not be considered absent. Missed quizzes/activities during
said meeting/training shall not be included in the computation of grade;

Time lost by late enrolment shall be considered as time lost by absence.

Tardiness

Students are marked “late” if they arrive within the first 15 minutes of the class

period. If the student enters the class after 15 minutes, he is marked absent even if he is
allowed to join the class for the remainder of the period. Students who leave the class

after the roll call and not return or only returns towards the end of the period is considered

absent;

Although members of the faculty are expected to begin their classes promptly,

various contingencies which are sometimes unavoidable may cause some faculty
members to be late for class. In such case, students should not leave the class until after

15 minutes; and

Call Slip. No one is allowed to disrupt the class by calling on a student during class hours
without an official call slip issued by the Dean, Guidance Counselor, Registrar, or the

DSSD Director. (Lifted from the IFSU Code Part V Student Manual, Chapter 5 General
Regulations and Retention Procedures, Section 5, 5.21.11)
