2. When a student’s absences in a subject in one semester have reached 20% of the required number of hours of recitation, lecture, laboratory or
unscheduled work, and the absences are unexcused, the student shall be unofficially dropped from the class and given a grade of 5.0.
3. The time and schedule of the class or subject should be religiously followed both by the teacher and the students.
4. The students should wear proper and complete uniform with black leather shoes and ID from Monday to Friday. The College or University Shirt may be
worn on Fridays and during special events.
5. In case of Physical Education subjects, only prescribed PE uniform and rubber shoes should be worn.
