Bachelor of Science in Nursing Level 2

WAIVER FOR ONSITE EXAMINATION: MAJOR (NCM) COURSES
NCM 105, 106, 107 and 113

St. Paul University Philippines recently underwent a location risk assessment and school safety
assessment and has received approval from the Commission on Higher Education to conduct
limited face-to-face classes. This affirms that our school is compliant with the minimum public
health standards set by the government.

In this light, the School of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences – College of Nursing since February
2022, had been implementing limited-face-to-face skills laboratory, trainings, and performance
tasks assessments onsite.

For the Final Term Examination in June, the College decided to conduct testing of major (NCM)
subjects onsite to better monitor the students and avoid unnecessary concerns associated with
online testing especially those attributed to internet connectivity and power interruptions. The
onsite examination will also begin to re-integrate them to the normalcy of physical class
attendance prior to their deployment in the clinical areas. The onsite examination will enable the
students to concentrate well and focus on tasks, without the other unnecessary distractions.

Since there are four (4) major NCM courses for this semester, students will be having two (2)
examinations scheduled within a day. Hence, they will be reporting onsite for two (2) consecutive
days. Each course is allocated two (2) hours testing time. With two (2) subjects tested in a day,
the students will have a total maximum stay of six (6) hours in the University campus per day
including a 2-hour rest period including (packed) lunch break which will also be strictly monitored
within the school premises.

Rest assured that safety precautions approved by the Inter Agency Task force will be strictly
implemented. In accordance with the health and safety protocols, students with existing
comorbidities are NOT mandated to take the examination on site.

If you or your child decide to not attend the onsite examination, kindly inform the Nursing Office
through the teacher/adviser of your child, and state your reason/s. Please know that not attending
the onsite examinations will not result to any penalty, or loss of benefits or reduction of any basic
right to which your child is entitled.
