Part Five – Student Manual

5.21.4. The policy, NO ADMISSION SLIP, NO ENTRY, is followed;
5.21.5. The checking of attendance is the responsibility of the teacher. On the other hand it is the
responsibility of the student to keep track of his absences. This is in consonance with CHED
prescription that every school should keep attendance records of all students so that the data on
enrollment, attendance, tardiness, transfer, and separation from school can be easily and speedily
checked;
5.21.6. The basic rule on absences is that if a student has incurred absences of more than 20% of the
required number of class and laboratory periods in a given subject is given a DROPPED (D) mark;
5.21.7. 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;
5.21.8. 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;
5.21.9. 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

included in the computation of grade;
5.21.10. Time lost by late enrolment shall be considered as time lost by absence;
5.21.11. 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;
5.21.12. 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
5.21.13. 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.

5.23.2. A student who shall leave the University for reasons of expulsion due to disciplinary action shall
