Class List and Attendance

1. A class list is generated from the Data Management System. Only
students included in the class list are entitled to attend the class;
2. Regular and punctual attendance in all classes is expected of all
students;
3. A student who comes after the first 15 minutes of the class period
without justifiable cause shall be considered absent. A student who
comes within the first 15 minutes of the class period shall be
recorded as tardy. Three tardy marks are generally equivalent to one
absence except in cases where the teacher decides otherwise.
Absence and tardiness shall be marked on the Instructor’s class
records each meeting;
4. A limited number of absences is allowed for serious reason, but this
may not exceed 3 hours per unit. Absences beyond this limit incur
an automatic grade of W (DROPPED) and consequent loss of credit
to the course;
5. A student who is absent from class is responsible for all the lessons
& assignments during his/her absence;
6. Any student who leaves the class without permission from the
teacher is accountable for his/her act and is considered absent; and
7. Students would not be re-admitted to his/her class without
admission slips issued by the Dean of the Graduate School.

Classroom Policies
Students are required to uphold intellectual honesty in all class
requirements and activities. This includes the need to use quotation
marks for verbatim statements lifted from another work and to cite all
sources in research work through footnotes and/or bibliographies.

The school punishes cheating and plagiarism (which includes extensive

“cutting and pasting” even with a footnote) with an F not only in that
particular requirement but in the whole course IF that requirement carries
a grade which constitutes more than 10% of the final grade. For group
work, the members are expected to review the final paper before
submission to ensure that violations have not been incurred.

The Student Handbook will serve as a guide for all school policies. Other

Points for Leveling Off

1. Cell phones must be put off or put on silent mode during classes.
Absolutely no texting. Please leave the room if you need to make an
urgent call or if you are to respond to a call. No opening of laptops
except when required/requested. This is one form of RESPECT.
2. Come to class to participate, open-minded, with maturity and
respectful of your classmates and facilitators/mentors/teachers. Let
the classroom be a vibrant venue for learning and growing.
3. You may text/call for urgent inquiries or messages. The use of the
email is highly preferred over cell phone (text messages).
