Welcome to your Ateneo de Naga University!
I am pleased to present to you the College Student Handbook 2022. It puts together essential information
on the school’s academic regulations, code of ethics, and wide-ranging student services and formation
programs. It strengthens its student safety provisions by including, among others, updates from the
Safe Spaces Act of 2019.
The latest handbook edition features dates to remember from the academic calendar, and provides
templates for your class schedule, weekly plan, and personal goals. It also contains a link to the Online
Handbook, which compiles the Interim Academic Regulations, and Temporary Revisions and Supplemental
Guidelines Implementing the Code of Conduct and Code of Discipline, and other updates during the school
year. Take note of the school’s health standards and protocols, and requirements for your participation
in face-to-face classes and activities during the pandemic.
Kindly read both this hardcopy and the online version, which would help you navigate hybrid learning,
and introduce you to ADNU’s history, culture and identity. As you experience the unique brand of Ateneo
education, I pray that you will discover the varied opportunities available for you, which complement
the instruction in the classroom, and match your talents and interests. All you have to do is to be open
to the student development programs that the university offers especially for you.
One invitation for you is to be a member or leader of a recognized student organization. You can be
a peer coach, a campus journalist, a trained First Aider, an athlete, or a marching band member. You
can be a volunteer in outreach activities - build a house, plant trees, donate blood, or pursue a passion
project with your friends. Your teachers, formators, and administrators are here to assist and accompany
you in your Ateneo journey.
Optimize the formation opportunities in store for you. In the process, know more about yourself, harness
your talents and potentials, deepen your relationship with others and God, and serve the community.
Be a person for and with others!
RODOLFO ‘SONNY’ SB. VIRTUS JR.

Welcome back, Ateneans!
As we slowly emerge from the pandemic, we are glad to see you once again here on
campus. Surely you are excited as we are to reunite with your friends and classmates, to
learn and grow in wisdom in our classrooms, to hear once again the sounds of laughter
and conversation along the hallways. It is good to have all of you back!
As we put life back in the academic grounds, we wish to ensure that every school space,
whether actual or virtual, is open, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Let us work together
to make the Ateneo a venue for learning, for new experiences, for kindness.
To help you in this endeavor, this latest student handbook has everything you need to
guide you through your reintegration back in the university. Kindly find time to read and
understand its contents carefully. And remember that your administrators, faculty, and
staff, and most especially the Office of Student Affairs are ready to assist you in any way.
Again, welcome back! Let us do all that we do ad majorem Dei gloriam!
FR. ROBERTO EXEQUIEL N. RIVERA, S.J.

THE REGNUM DEI
(J.P. Sousa)
From Isarog through Bicol land to lofty Mayon Peak,

Our flag is carried flying high in victory or defeat.
And never have we furled it yet in spite of foemen’s might.
We’ll cheer our men unto the end
We’ll cheer them as they fight.
Here’s Ateneo’s marching songs.
We sing of victory.
Through childhood days and youthful years,
high shall our purpose be.
Regnum Dei is our cry, our fame and glory too,

we’ll fight and win or fight and die.
ATENEO FOR GOD AND YOU.
Ateneo de Naga circa 1946

CHAPTER 1
A. History of the Ateneo De Naga University
In 1940 at the invitation of Bishop (later Archbishop) Pedro P. Santos of

Caceres, the Ateneo de Naga was founded as a Jesuit school for boys, with
Fr. Francis D. Burns, S.J., as Rector. The classes were first held in the building
formerly used by the Camarines Sur Catholic Academy (now the Naga Parochial
School). Meanwhile the construction of the new school building, dominated by
the now well-known facade of four pillars, began. In December 1941 a small
band of Jesuits moved to their new residence on
campus and prepared to transfer classes to the newly
finished structures after the Christmas holidays. But
suddenly on December 8 the Pacific War broke out.
When the Japanese Imperial Forces came to Naga, they imprisoned
the Jesuits (except Bro. Sergio Adriatico, S.J., the lone Filipino among them),
occupied the Ateneo de Naga, and converted it into the local Fort Santiago.
As soon as Philippine independence was restored in 1946, high school classes
resumed.
On June 1, 1947 the Ateneo de Naga was granted by the Department
of Education full recognition as a standard four- year high school. On June 5,
1947 the College was opened with 87 male students. Six year later, on October
26, 1953, the Ateneo College became coeducational with the admission of
five women.
The steady growth of the Ateneo called for new structures for governance.
Thus, the 1940 Articles of Incorporation were amended and new By-laws adopted in 1979, transferring
the school’s high governing authority to the Board of Trustees, the majority of whom were Jesuits. In
the same year, the College and the High School were the first in Camarines Sur to be accredited by the
Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU).
Through its more than half century of existence, the Ateneo made significant breakthroughs and
suffered serious setbacks. Economic difficulties during the Martial Law years led to a dip in the college
enrolment. And in the 80s there were rumors of the school’s closure. But as the school marked its
Golden Jubilee in 1990, this time with Fr. Raul Bonoan, S.J. as President, there began a remarkable
turn-around and recovery.
Fr. Bonoan forged strong and fruitful partnership with the alumni, which raised funds to support
the President’s rehabilitation efforts for Ateneo.
There was a speedy infrastructure development in the 90s, with the construction of new buildings,
such as the Bro. Richard Fernando, S.J. Hall, Bro. Sergio Adriatico Hall, John Phelan, S.J. Science Hall,
Francis Dolan Hall. The James O’Brien, S.J. Library, the most modern library in the
region, was built in this decade.
Fr. Bonoan’s administration invested in faculty development to improve the
quality of instruction in the Ateneo, and sourced out scholarship funds as two of
the priorities in the CorPlan 2000.
In 1991 the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports placed the Ateneo in
its list of 18 excellent universities and colleges in the country. The Graduate School,
which had a brief existence in the seventies, was revived in 1993. On September
2

The University
16, 1996, Fr. Bonoan issued a memorandum declaring the separation of the different colleges: the
College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Commerce, and the College of Information Technology
and Engineering. Almost a year after, the College of Education was created.
The University status was granted to the Ateneo de Naga on November 11, 1998, upon the approval
by the Commission on Higher Education of Resolution No. 142-98. Its conferment
and the installation of the first University President, Fr. Bonoan, was celebrated on
February 20, 1999. Barely three months after this milestone, Fr. Bonoan died. Fr.
Joel L. Tabora, S.J. was installed as second University President on August 28, 1999.
In the initial months of his administration, Fr. Tabora culled together
representatives from all sectors of the University to review and streamline Ateneo
de Naga’s direction in the next ten years. After intensive discussion and meticulous
work, the approved CORPLAN 2010 became the working document to translate
the University’s mission-vision into action.
Concrete manifestations of endeavors resulting from CORPLAN 2010 emerged.
On one hand, seven buildings rose on campus, among them the Christ the King
University Church, Xavier Hall, the Arrupe Building, an Engineering Building, and
the new Jesuit Residence. On the other hand, Ateneo de Naga established itself
as the premier academic institution in the region by being the only one in Bicol with
a PAASCU Level III accredited status. This distinction was granted on May 14, 2004, six months after
obtaining a Level II re-accreditation status.
Two other highlights marked this period in Ateneo de Naga’s history. On June 23, 2003, the Ateneo
de Naga High School moved out of the Bagumbayan campus to its new ten-hectare home in Pacol.
For the first time in its 63 years of existence, the High School admitted
185 girls into its student population. In the following year, effective SY
2004-2005, the University opened the College of Nursing, increasing
the total number of its colleges to six.
Considered a masterstroke of Fr. Tabora in educational
management, three structures were established in ADNU, namely:
the Academic Council, serving as think-tank and coordinating arm of
the University on administrative and curricular concerns; the University
Research Council, keeping ADNU’s academic standards abreast in
international criteria of research; and the University Social Involvement
Council, planning and coordinating the outreach efforts of the different
units in ADNU and sharpening the University’s impact on Bikol communities.
In 2007, the Ignatian Formation Center (IFC) was created, and the Ignatian Formation Program
framework established. The IFC has since become responsible for promoting Ignatian Spirituality in
the ADNU community. Strengthened by the creation of the Formation Council and the collaboration
of the Formation and Student Support Offices (Office of Student Affairs, College Guidance Center,
Campus Ministry and College Athletics), the Center provided appropriate opportunities or interventions
to concretize the mission and formative intents of the University.
In 2008, it became the only University in Southern Luzon to be granted by CHED with Autonomous
Status. ADNU had the most Centers of Development: in Information Technology, Business Administration
and Entrepreneurship; and Center of Excellence in Teacher Training in the region. In 2009, it was one of
the three universities in the country to obtain Institutional Accreditation from PAASCU. Other reassuring
laurels included the recognition for having the Best Student Services in the region and Best Student
Leadership Program in the country; the topnotch performances in the board exams for teachers,

CHAPTER 1
accountants, librarians and engineers; the first-ever PAASCU accreditation of Civil Engineering program
in Bicol, have made ADNU the region’s best and one of the country’s finest academic institutions.
In 2010, the University celebrated its 70th Foundation Anniversary. The occasion became more
meaningful as it coincided with the 300th year of Bicol’s devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia or Ina, the
patroness of Bicol. The two historic events allowed the University to not only renew its commitment to
the same Christ-centered mission of the Society of Jesus and strengthen Jesuit-Lay collaboration, but
also reflect on the true essence of devotion to Ina.
The year 2011 ushered in leadership change for the University. With Fr. Tabora’s election as president
of Ateneo in Davao, the ADNU Board of Trustees on September 22, 2010 elected Fr. Primitivo E. Viray
Jr., S.J. to be the third University President in Naga. He assumed office on May 11, 2011.
The University, under Fr. Viray watch, has maintained its Centers of Excellence and Development
status. New offices were established, among them the Center Arts and Culture, Innovation Center,
Management Information System unit and Computing Systems and Innovation Office. The University
Research Council was reconstituted to improve the University’s research capability. Replacing the
Module 1/SMEDI canteen, a four-storey facility, named after Fr. Bonoan, was built to house the University
Cafeteria, new classrooms and offices.
As a response to the K to 12 educational reform, ADNU opted to open in
2012 a pioneering Career Academy or Senior High School which started to be
developed during the latter part of Tabora’s administration.
In terms of long-term directions, the University engaged in Corporate
Planning (CorPlan 2020), where stakeholders revisited ADNU’s mission-vision,
identity and culture and formulated a plan to integrate them into the life and work
in the University, along the challenges of K to 12 and the call to contribute to
regional and national development and to protect the environment, among others.
In 2015, ADNU expanded its basic education through the offering of Grade School to respond to
the growing demand of Naga City and neighboring towns for excellent Catholic basic education. The
Fr. Raul Bonoan, S.J. Building housed the Grade School.
In the same year, the university concluded the three-year celebration of its 75th Foundation
Anniversary (2014-2015).
In 2016, ADNU opened its College of Law – Juris Doctor Program as a response to the region’s
need for legal education. A year after, the college launched its apostolate arm called Ignatian Legal
Apostolate Office (ILAO). The newest structure in the Bagumbayan campus, the 6-storey Fr. Godofredo
Alingal, S.J. Hall became the hub of the College of Law.
In 2017, Fr. Viray was elected Provincial of the country’s Society of Jesus. With this, in January
2018, ADNU welcomed its fourth university president, Fr. Roberto Exequiel N. Rivera, S.J.
In February 2019, following the collective decision of Bicol’s state universities and colleges to
shift its calendar in sync with international standards, ADNU was the first private university in the
region to decide changing its calendar. School Year 2019-2020 for the higher education units opened
on July 1, 2019 instead of June. The class opening schedule will be further moved to August in 2020.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck the country in 2020, ADNU carried out its instruction and
formation programs and services via online flexible learning modalities. By the SY 2021-2022, the
university implemented limited face-to-face classes for selected subjects, following CHED policies and
Inter-Agency Task Force’s standards and protocols.
A new course offering, Bachelor of Science in Architecture, was
introduced in the SY 2022-2023.

CHAPTER 1
C. The Seal of the Ateneo De Naga University
At the center of the Ateneo University Seal is the escutcheon of the family of St. Ignatius of Loyola,
founder of the Society of Jesus. The shield is divided vertically into two. The right panel shows two
wolves on both sides of a hanging cauldron. The design symbolizes the hospitality and generosity of
the Loyola family. On the left panel, symbolizing nobility and heroism are seven red bars on a field of
gold, honoring the seven heroes of the family who distinguished themselves in the battle of Beotibar
in 1321. The shield is part of the seal of many Jesuit schools in the world with which the Ateneo shares
a four hundred tradition of Jesuit liberal education.
Immediately above the Loyola escutcheon is a gold crown of Mary, Mother of God, who under
the title of Our Lady of Peñafrancia, is patroness of Bikol. Over Mary’s crown shines the sun, symbol of
Christ. On its face is the seal of the Society of Jesus in calligraphic form: the first three letters in Greek
of the Holy Name of Jesus (IHS) with the cross on top and the nails of his Holy Passion underneath. The
sun’s rays shine over Mary’s crown, the Loyola shield, and the six stars and beyond. The Sun, symbol
of Christ, truth and life, shines over Mary, Ateneo, Bikol, and the world.
Arranged in semi-circle under the Loyola shield are six gold stars representing the six provinces
of Bikol.
With its seal, the Ateneo proclaims its commitment to Christ, to the Jesuit education tradition,
and to its mission of forming “men and women for others”.

D. The School Motto
Primum Regnum Dei. Enot sa Gabos an Kahadean nin Diyos.
The school motto, which is derived from Matthew 6:33 “Seek first the Kingdom of God and all things
will be given”, expresses the single-mindedness with which the Ateneo de Naga University must pursue
the goals of Catholic Jesuit education. The ultimate purpose of Ateneo de Naga is not knowledge for its
own sake or merely professional preparation, but the reign of God and the promotion of Gospel values.
In our present context, Jesuit education focuses on “the promotion of justice in the service of faith”.

A. The Grading System
Two systems are currently in place in the Colleges (except Law), namely: the 2005 Grading System
(GS) and the 2018 Revised Grading System (RGS). All students admitted prior to SY 2018-2019 are gener-
ally covered by the 2005 GS. The 2018 RGS shall take effect beginning SY 2018-2019 for all new students
(freshmen, transferees and cross enrollees), old students shifting to new degree programs, returning old
students who stopped enrolling for at least two consecutive semesters (exclusive of Summer Sessions) and
undergraduate degree holders admitted to another undergraduate program (e.g.: for a second major). The
2005 GS shall cease to be implemented by the end of SY 2020-2021 and the 2018 RGS shall apply to all
students thereafter.
For the determination of degree honors of students who are covered by different grading systems
(e.g., the 2005 and this grading system), the QPI equivalents of earned grades shall be used without re-
adjustments but the computed average shall be interpreted using the 2018 RGS. This is because all grades
submitted to the College Registrar’s Office and entered into the database are considered final.
1. The Grading Scale
Under the revised college grading system, letter grades are assigned according an eight (8) level scale
with the indicated point values and descriptions, namely:

Other Marking Symbols and their Meanings:
AF means that the student has not participated in or was absent from the class activities more than 10%
of the total of the course activity for the semester or term. It is also applicable for the student who
withdrew from the course without official permission. The point value of an AF grade for computing
QPI is 0.
WP means that the student withdrew from the course prior to two weeks before the Pre-Final Examination
according to the date set by the school and with permission from his/her parent and teacher as shown
in the Withdrawal Slip submitted by the student to the College and Graduate School Registrar.
INC means that the student has not fulfilled the course requirements, e.g., term paper, research; project,
etc., within the semester. It is a temporary grade which obliges the student to complete the require-
ment within the period specified for this purpose. For INC grades, the teacher is obliged to fill up the
Remarks column of the mark sheet with NFE (no final exam) or NCR (no course requirement).
The letter grades correspond to numerical grades, which are based on the course’s learning objectives
and are measured in terms of the Converted Final Raw Score (CFRS) arranged as follows:

2. Mode of Computation of the Final Grade. The mode of computing the Converted Final Raw Score
that is later transmuted to a numerical grade is the same for both the 2005 GS and 2018 RGS. They
differ only in the transmutation to the letter grade.

Preliminary Examination 10%
Midterm Examination 20% 33.33%
Pre-Final Examination 10%
Comprehensive Final Examination 20% 33.33%
Total 100% 100%
The class standing (CS) components shall be defined, i.e. the criteria and standards for evaluat-
ing these components shall be determined before the start of the semester by the teachers/cluster/
department teaching/offering the course and these class standing components criteria and standards
must be reflected in the course syllabus and communicated to the students at the start of the semester.
Class standing may include:

Untitled-1 137 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 4
• Tests and Quizzes

• Reports or projects
• Student Portfolios
• Class participation
• Oral Presentations
• Others (e.g., performance assessment which shall be set by department/cluster or teachers
teaching the course, etc.)
The Preliminary, Midterm, Pre-final and the Comprehensive Final Examinations are usually teach-
er-made summative evaluations, which may be written, oral, practical, etc.

Similarly in these courses, the criteria and standards for evaluating these components of class standing
shall be determined before the start of the semester by the teachers/cluster/department teaching/offering
the course. The same must be reflected in the course syllabus and communicated to the students at the start
of the semester. Class standing may include/cover the practicum, laboratory or combination.
An example illustrating the process of computing the final grade using the new grading system.
Suppose that Teacher X who is handling the subject W has decided to have the following elements
under Class Standing (CS) with the indicated weights:
Tests and Quizzes 40% of CS

Term Paper 15% of CS
Project 10% of CS
Recitation 35% of CS
Suppose further that Student A is enrolled in the subject above and has obtained the following scores

CHAPTER 4
Note that the part on computation for each component/element in boldface is the conversion of the
raw score as a correct raw score (CRS) percentage while the rest of the computation is the conversion of such
CRS into a weighted CRS for the component. For instance, Student A scored in Tests and Quizzes 148 out
of 200, or a CRS percentage of 74, and we multiply this by .40 since the test and quizzes account for 40%
of CS (class standing). The Term Paper with a score of 92 has a CRS percentage of 92 is multiplied by the
assigned weight of .15; Project with score of 90 has a CRS percentage of 90 is multiplied by the assigned
weight of .10; and Recitation with a score of 87 has a CRS percentage of 87 is multiplied by the assigned
weight of .35. The weighted CRS’s of the elements under CS or class standing are then added. We now have
a total weighted CRS for class standing (82.85). This is then multiplies by .40 since CS accounts for 40% of
the total Converted Final Raw Score (CFRS). This gives us a CFRS of 33.14 for CS.
The Preliminary Exam with a score of 83 has a converted raw score (CRS) percentage of 75.45, and
multiplying this by the assigned weight of 0.10 gives us a CFRS of 7.54. Midterm Exams score of 172 has a
CRS percentage of 90.52, which when multiplied by its assigned weight of 0.20 gives us a CFRS percentage
of 18.10. Pre-final Exam score of 78 has CRS percentage of 82.10, and when multiplied by the assigned
weight of .10 gives CFRS of 8.21. Finally, the Final Exam score of 192 has a CRS percentage of 76.8, and
when multiplied by the assigned weight of .20 gives a CFRS OF 15.36. Adding all the CFRS for the grading
components CS, PLE, ME, PFE, and FE, we have a CFRS of 82.35 or 82.
From the transmutation tables, a CFRS of 82 transmutes to a numerical grade of 89 which in turn is
equivalent to a letter grade of B under the 2005 GS or C+ under the 2018 RGS.
4. Computation of Average Quality Point Index
The Average Quality Point Index (QPI) is used as a measure of student’s academic performance. To
determine the average QPI, the letter grades are given point values as shown in the Transmutation Table for
the 2018 Revised Grading System. It is computed as the quotient of the Accumulated Grade (AG) and the
Total Units (TU). An example showing the procedure is shown below:
Letter Point Value

Subject Unit Unit x PV
Grade (PV)
CSDC100 – Introduction to Computing 3 B 3.0 9.00
CSDC101 – Fundamentals of Programming 3 B 3.0 9.00
CSMC111– Discrete Structures 1 3 B+ 3.5 10.50
PHIS101 – Understanding the Self 3 C+ 2.5 7.50
SOCS101 – Art Appreciation 3 A 4.0 12.00
MTHS101 – Mathematics in the Modern World 3 B+ 3.5 10.50
PEDS101 – Physical Fitness 1 2 C 2.0 4.00
TU = 20 AG = 62.50
Average QPI = AG/TU = 62.50/20 = 3.125

Untitled-1 140 8/13/22 3:16 PM

B. Term Examinations
The Preliminary, Midterm, Pre-final, and Final Examinations are periodic assessments of student
learning during the semester. They are conducted orally, in writing, or both, and in announced venues on
the schedule calendared by the Academic Council and the Registrar. Not one of them may be foregone
in favor of a prior or future examination, nor may be substituted with the activities that do not actually
assess student learning of the lesson coverage for the term, such as tours, seminars, parties and the like.
The coverage of the Final Examination particularly is 30% of the first term and 70% of the second term.
Each student is required to present his/her Examination Slip for each of these examinations.
C. Delayed Term Examination
1. On the Period for Filing Applications for and Taking the Delayed Examination
1.1 Delayed preliminary, midterm and pre-final examinations must be completed no later
than the last day prior to the schedule of the next major exam period (e.g., delayed
preliminary exams must be taken not later than the last recitation or class day before
the midterm exams).
1.2 Delayed final examinations must be completed no later than the first week of classes
of the succeeding term, summer sessions included.
1.3 Applications for delayed preliminary, midterm and pre-final examinations must be filed
no later than a week before the next scheduled examinations.
1.4 A concerned student may appeal a disapproved application for delayed examination
to the Dean of his/her Home College.
1.5 The College Registrar’s Office shall announce and/or publish the approved deadlines
for filing of applications and the delayed final examinations.
2. Valid reasons for delayed examinations and supporting documents. The following are
considered as valid reasons for students to apply for delayed examinations:
Reason Supporting Document(s)

2.1 Death of a family member Death certificate or letter from parent/guardian
certifying the death of a family member
2.2 Appearance in court Court summons/subpoenas
2.3 Failure to secure exam permit due Exam permit bearing a date of issuance after
to insufficient payment of tuition the schedule of examinations
and other fees
23
Untitled-1 141 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 4
2.4 Conflict in examination schedule Copy of exam schedule or signed note from
the department chairperson or the College
Registrar about the conflict of schedule
2.5 Official school representation Excuse letter approved by the AVP for official
school representation
2.6 Sickness (inclusive of accidents) Medical certificate or letter from parent about
sickness in cases of commonly treated but
contagious (e.g. sore eyes) or seasonal (e.g.
flu) illnesses
2.7 Work-related causes (only for Certificate of employment and appropriate
working students) such as required document supporting the application (e.g.,
attendance in a company training company memorandum)
or special event, etc.
3. Application Process for Delayed Examinations.Upon request for a delayed examination,

the student should submit as attachment to the accomplished application theappropriate
supporting documents.
Misrepresentation, tampering of supporting documents and other forms of fraud committed

by any student in relation to his or her application for delayed examination may result to
disapproval of the request, without prejudice to the imposition of applicable sanctions
provided under the College Student Handbook.
4. Exemption from the Delayed Examination Fee. The delayed examination fee shall not be
collected when the cause of the student’s failure to take the examination as scheduled is any
of the valid reasons listed in 2.1 above, except 2.7 or work-related causes.
5. Processing of Applications
5.1 For delayed examinations due to the causes enumerated in #2 above with appropriate
supporting documents, only the approval of the home department chairperson
is required and this approval is binding on all teachers concerned, regardless of
department or college.
5.2 If the cause of the delayed examination is 2.7 or work-related causes, the student shall
pay the delayed examination fee at the Treasurer’s Office and attach the receipt to
the application form.
6. Scheduling of Delayed Examinations.
6.1 Once the application for delayed examination is approved, the student shall report
to each of the concerned subject teachers and arrange for the delayed examination
schedule.
6.2 The concerned student and teacher are equally responsible in insuring that the delayed
examination schedule they have set is followed.
24
Untitled-1 142 8/13/22 3:16 PM

6.2.1 A student who fails to take the delayed examination as scheduled shall be
given a zero (0) score for the exam, unless approval had been secured for
another delayed examination due to the valid reasons listed in no. 2 above
(except 2.4 or conflict in the regular or original examination schedule). Per
subject, the rescheduling of delayed examinations shall be allowed only
once, following the same process of application and approval earlier outlined.
6.2.2 A teacher who, without valid reasons, fails to give the delayed examination
as scheduled shall receive sanctions adapted from the schedule given in the
2003 College Faculty Manual for tardiness in reporting to class, to wit:
Instance of failure to give

Sanction
scheduled delayed exam
First to third Verbal reminder from the Department Chair
Fourth to sixth Written reminder from the Department Chair
Seventh to ninth Written reprimand from the Department Chair
Tenth or more Ineligibility to receive merit increase and/or valid ground for non-
renewal of contract (part-time teaching or probationary status)
The effect of these sanctions shall be reviewed after one year of

implementation towards a revision, if necessary.
6.3 The delayed examination schedule shall be distinct from the regular class schedule so
as not to unduly lessen the class recitation hours.
6.4 The activity period on appropriate days may be utilized as schedules for delayed
examinations.
7. Grading
7.1 Other than the final examinations, a student who fails to take a delayed exam in
any subject within the prescribed period (e.g.: delayed preliminary exam before the
midterm exam) shall receive a zero score for the exam. Thus, the provision in the
grading system for incomplete grade due to missed preliminary, midterm and/or pre-
final examination is revoked.
7.2 When the student missed the final examinations and is unable to take the delayed
examination before the deadline for submission of grades at the end of the semester,
the subject teacher shall report an incomplete or “INC” grade and indicate NFE
(meaning “No Final Exam”) in the column for remarks in the official grading sheet.
However, if there is zero possibility for the student to obtain a passing grade (e.g., the
student will fail even with a perfect score in the final examinations), the teacher may
already report a final grade of “F” and indicate “FENB” (meaning “final exam has no
bearing”) under the column for remarks so that the advisement or enrollment for the
next term may be facilitated.The CFRS and FINGRD columns are left blank. Agrading
computation is shown belowto illustrate the situation:

Course &
Name CLSSTD PRLEXM MDTERM PRFEXM FINEXM CFRS FINGRD LTRGRD REMRK
Major
XXX XXX 26.00 4.00 5.00 4.00 F FENB
The student in the example has a sub-total or partial CFRS of 39 and needs to get
at least 21 points more from the final exam to obtain a passing CFRS of at least 60.
However, a perfect score in the final exam will only contribute 20 points. In this case,
the final exam will have no bearing, that is, the student has no more chance of passing
the course. Hence, the teacher already reflected an “F” grade and indicated “FENB”
in the column for remarks.
However, because the taking of examinations has instructional value regardless

of the outcome, any concerned student who may decide to still take the final
examination must be allowed to do so, provided his/her application to take
delayed examination(s) is duly processed and approved.
7.3 Since there will be no final numerical grade(s) indicated in cases of failing grades given
as a result of no bearing final exams described in 7.2 above, the subject(s) shall not be
included in the computation of general weighted average numerical grade, but included
in the computation of the average QPI of the student. However, having incurred the
failing grade(s), the concerned student becomes ineligible for graduation honors.
D. Examination Rules
All violations of examination rules are reported to the Director of Student Affairs and/or the
Disciplinary Board for appropriate action.
Any form of cheating in any test, quiz, major examinations (prelims, midterm pre-final and finals)
or in any other form of evaluation for course requirement, namely, project, etc. is considered serious.
Refer to the Policy on Intellectual or Academic Dishonesty.
Any case of cheating committed by a scholar will be handled by the Disciplinary Board that will
decide whether his/her scholarship will be withdrawn. All cases of cheating will be reported to the Office
of Student Affairs as part of Students Records. A student caught cheating may appeal his/her case to
the Disciplinary Board within three (3) working days upon receipt of the written report from the OSA.
Students are required to wear the school uniform during the examinations conducted in the
University
The following guidelines will be helpful:

1. Be punctual.
2. Bring the needed materials.
3. Bring your permit.
4. Keep quiet once in the examination room.
5. Relax.
26
Untitled-1 144 8/13/22 3:16 PM

6. Read the questions carefully.

7. Write neatly.
8. Answer questions from the easiest to the most difficult.
9. Review your answers before submitting the examination paper.
E. Exemption from Final Examinations
Students who consistently excel in class as evidenced by the results in the previous assessment
and evaluation of class performance during the term deserve to be recognized and rewarded at the end
of the term by exempting them from the final examinations. This exemption shall apply to all subjects
except those covered by the licensure/board examinations, such as accountancy, engineering, and
major and proficiency subjects in education, and the following specific subjects: theology, philosophy,
computer science, taxation, business law, and major subjects in mathematics and natural sciences.
F. Incomplete Grades
A student is allowed one semester to complete his/her grade. Requirements must be submitted one
week after the Midterm Examination of the following semester. (Ammendment to the existing policy of
incomplete Grades approved April 14, 2010 and effective 2nd Semester, SY 2010-2011. Thus, for INC
Grades incurred during 1st semester SY 2010-2011, deadline shall be one week after the 2nd semester
Midterm Examination). Failure to complete a grade means that the INC automatically becomes an F.
Appeals against this F must be directed to the Academic Standards Committee. Summer term is part
of the second semester.
G. Change of Grades
Final Grades in all subjects including NSTP/Formation Program and PE may be changed only at
the request of the faculty member and/or the student concerned, upon the approval of the College
Academic Standards Committee (CASC).
A. Change of grades may only be due to the errors stipulated below:
1. Clerical Error
• Erroneous transfer and/or recording of grades
2. Computational Error and/or Recording Lapse

• Error in computation due to the following reasons:
• Incorrect mode of computing grades;
• Erroneous transmutation;
• Unrecorded grades; and
• Erroneous rounding off
27
Untitled-1 145 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 4
3. Delayed or Non-Submission of Completion Grades

• Teacher’s failure to submit completion grades within the specified period as stipulated
in the University Memo No. 313
• Student’s failure to submit the completion form within the specified period as stipulated
in the University Memo No. 313.
4. Grave Abuse of Discretion exercised by a teacher

• Failure to comply with or to fulfill the required teaching
hours with students;
• Prejudice and discrimination against the student
5. Insufficient or inappropriate basis for assessing learning

• Mismatch between the instructional objectives and the evaluation instruments/indicators.
• Inadequate number of quizzes and/or performance indicators.
6. Failure of the learning process to prosper due to:

• Blatant mismatch between the teacher’s pedagogical skills and the student’s just
expectations of a teacher
• Deficient pedagogical skills
B. Process:
1. The teacher or the student shall write a letter requesting change of grades. This letter shall
be accompanied with pertinent document/s supporting such claim. If the request for change
of grade comes from the teacher, the Department Chairperson’s notation shall be sought.
However, requests coming from the students shall be directly submitted to the CASC.
Pertinent documents needed are the following:
a. Clerical Error
• Original class list with correct entry/ies
• Erroneous entry in the grading sheets
b. Computational Error and/or Recording Lapse

• Erroneous entry in the grading sheet/class list and/or incorrect mode of
computation.
• Corrected computation
c. Delayed or Non-Submission of Completion Grades

• Process by which completion was made
• Date of completion of subject requirements to the teacher
• Date of submission of completion form to the College Registrar
• Reasons/factors for late/non-submission of completion grades of concerned
students.
28
Untitled-1 146 8/13/22 3:16 PM

d. Grave Abuse of Discretion exercised by a teacher

• Teacher’s attendance report
• Beadle’s form
• Student(s)’ complaints and/or petitions
e. Insufficient or inappropriate basis for assessing learning

• Class Record
• Mark Sheet
• Assessment Instruments submitted by the teacher to the Department Chair
f. Deficient pedagogical skills

• Class Record
• Mark Sheet
• Teacher’s Classroom Performance as indicated by summative evaluation of the
students, the peers and the Chair.
2. The Chair convenes the members of the CASC and presides over the meeting.
3. If the one being complained about is a member of the CASC or his/her mentor or chairperson,
that member shall inhibit himself/herself from the deliberation to maintain the desired level
of objectivity.
4. The CASC, in a closed-door session investigates the merit of the case in the presence of both
parties (e.g., teacher and the student/s). The summoned teacher or student should appear
in the Committee meeting by themselves.
5. If the CASC determines after due deliberations that the student’s allegation is true, the
CASC recommends the change of grade/s. If the student or teacher agrees with the
recommendation, the case rests.
6. In the event of resistance or disagreement by either party of the decision, a sub-committee

composed of peers shall investigate the particulars of the case and determine whether an
injustice was committed.
7. If an injustice is established, the sub-committee specifies the remedy (e.g., how a new grade
can be determined such as stipulating a new exam, a project, a term paper, a remedial
class, etc). This remedy of the sub-committee is binding and is subject to appeal only to the
President.
8. The CASC directs the teacher to effect the appropriate rectification in the form of a change
of grade.
29
Untitled-1 147 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 4
9. In cases where the teacher still refuses to make the change and/or is no longer available to
do so, the CASC directs the College Registrar to effect such change in the student’s records.
10. The CASC shall write a letter indicating the decision to the teacher, copy furnished to the
Dep’t. Chair of the teacher, the student, and the VPHE. This letter shall be released within
one week after the decision has been made.
All requests must be filed within the allotted period stipulated below. Beyond this date, no
request will be entertained by the CASC unless the teacher himself /herself recognizes the validity of
the completion.
The faculty and/or the student requesting the change of grade submits to the CASC within one
semester after the course was taken. If the course is taken during the first semester, the deadline for
filing requests is the last working day of March. If the course is taken during the second semester and
summer, the deadline of filing requests is the last working day of October.
For delayed submission or non-submission of completion form within the above specified period
in which case the Incomplete Grade automatically turns into an F, both parties (student and/or teacher)
may file a change of grade within one semester after the set deadline.
All files pertaining to the committee’s work shall be kept in the VPHE Office.
All appeals for change of grades must be filed with the Standards Committee seven days before
Graduation. Beyond this date, no appeal will be entertained by the Standards Committee.
Note: The above provisions are taken from the System for the College Academic Standards
Committee (cf. Appendix D)
H. Class Attendance
Punctual and regular attendance is expected of every student. Thus, all absences are counted.
Excused absences for official university business require the approval of the VPHE. Any student who
accumulates absences beyond 5 hours for a 3-unit subject, 9 hours for a 5-unit subject, or 10 hours for
a 6-unit subject receives Final Grade of AF.
The checking of class attendance starts as soon as the second bell has rung. A student is considered
late if he arrives after the checking of attendance and will be marked absent if he arrives 15 minutes
after the second bell has rung. Three lateness are equivalent to one absence.
The checking of class attendance is one of the primary duties of a teacher. It is a part of
classroom management which aids in the effective teaching-learning process in the classroom.
The following guidelines and procedures are hereby outlined as aid to teachers in fulfilling their
important function.
30
Untitled-1 148 8/13/22 3:16 PM

1. The teachers meet their classes on the first day of classes.
2. The teachers assign a beadle and a co-beadle during the first meeting in each class, then
sends the beadle to OSA to procure the beadle’s booklet.
3. The beadle’s booklet contains the following forms:

a. The Official Class List
b. The Seat Plan
c. The Attendance Monitoring Form
d. The Duties and Responsibilities of Beadle and Co-Beadle
e. The Policy on Attendance for Students
f. The Guidelines and Procedures on the Checking of Student Attendance
g. Referral Slips
4. A separate attendance monitoring sheet is provided for teachers. This is contained in the
beadle folder and is given to the teachers during the first day of class. The teachers check
the attendance every meeting using this form. This same form is submitted to their Home
Department Chair together with the mark sheets at the end of the semester.
5. During the first meeting, and if needed to be repeated during succeeding meetings, teachers
orient students on attendance policy and implementing procedures. It should be stressed
to students that an allowable absence is not a privilege but a provision in case they get sick
or experience any situations cited in 7c.
6. The teacher signs at the beadle’s attendance form every meeting.
7. If a student incurs half of the norm of absences, the OSA issues a slip to notify him/her of
his/her absences. In case a student exceeds the norm of absences, the following procedures
will be followed:
a. Once a student incurs more than the allowable absences, the beadle informs both
the student and the teacher and gives the OSA BF Form 7 or AF slip to both.
b. The student may appeal for reconsideration in case s/he believes there has been
misrecording of attendance or the reasons for his/her absence was not considered
reasonably by the teacher. The appeal must be in writing with supporting documents
and filed at the Office of Student Affairs. It must be submitted within 48 hours upon
receipt of the notification.
31
Untitled-1 149 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 4
c. The following are valid reasons for reconsidering a possible AF grade:
i. maternity (for female students)

ii. official representative of the school
(individual / group)
iii. sickness/hospitalization supported by medical certificate
iv. death of a member of immediate family
v. in cases certified or recommended by the guidance center
vi. in cases cited in the Manual of Regulations for Private Schools
vii. in cases where presence of student is needed in court proceedings
viii. other official business sanctioned by the school.
d. For students appealing for reconsideration, the following procedures shall be

followed:
(1) For cases of misposting / misrecording:
1.1 The student files an application for reconsideration at OSA.
1.2 The OSA conducts investigation and convenes the parties concerned,
and decides. The OSA informs the student and the teacher of the
decision.
(2) For validity of reasons of absence
The student appeals to the teacher in writing, supported by appropriate

documents within 48 hours after the receipt of notice (AF Slip).
e. In case appeal has been approved, the student is asked to sign a promissory note
stating that s/he will no longer be absent from his/her class. Absence incurred after
this automatically merits a grade of AF.
f. In case the appeal is denied the teacher accomplishes the AF slip and approves the
AF grade of the student and forwards the form to the OSA for the dean’s notation.
8. All AF forms submitted to the OSA are considered final.
Students who have excessive absences in a previous semester based on the OSA report
will be required to sign a promissory note indicating that s/he will improve his/her attendance
and report to the guidance counselor assigned to him/her for the semester.
Failure to improve class attendance will merit reductions of academic load in the
succeeding semester.
Make-up classes are voluntary. No exams are scheduled during make-up classes.

I. Academic Probation
A student who obtains a QPI below 1.5, in all subjects for the semester is placed on Academic
Probation in the next semester. A student already on academic probation who still merits a succeeding
Academic Probation is not allowed to enroll in more than 18.5 units (PE and NSTP included) in the next
semester. Moreover, the Department Chairperson in consultation with the student’s counselor regulates
the subject load of said student.
J. College Reading Program
All incoming college freshman students and transferees of Ateneo de Naga University are re-
quired to take the College Reading Program except those who had finished a bachelor’s degree prior
to enrollment of their present course. Incoming college freshman students who finished senior high
school in the University and were issued a Certificate of Proficiency are also exempted from taking
the College Reading Program.
All freshman college students and transferees must finish their reading requirements in two
curriculum years based on their earned units. Failure to comply the requirement would mean being
blocked from taking any major subjects in the following semester and non-re-admittance thereafter.
K. Withdrawal from or Dropping a Subject
A student may withdraw from or drop a subject two weeks (including Sundays) before the Pre-
final Examination dates set by the school calendar. Beyond this specified period, he/she will not be
allowed to withdraw from the course. He/She will receive a WP-mark (Withdrawn with Permission) only
when the withdrawal is official, i.e. permission had been granted by the teacher in the subject he/she
wishes to drop, and official form have been accomplished and filed at the Registrar’s Office. During
summer classes, a student may file for withdrawal or dropping from a subject before scheduled Midterm
examinations. The following procedures must be observed for official withdrawal from the subject:
1. A written permission together with a photocopy of valid ID from the parents must be presented
to the Registrar.
2. A Withdrawal Slip is obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
3. The permission of the teacher handling the subject is secured by letting the teacher sign in
the appropriate space in the Withdrawal Slip. If a student is enjoying any form of scholarship,
clearance is sought from the director of College Admission and Aid Office. A student who
had already been given a grade of AF (Failure due to Absences) prior to this application to
withdraw from the subject is not allowed to apply for WP.
4. The signature of the Chair of the student’s home department is obtained.
5. After accomplishing the above, the Withdrawal Slip is filed at the Registrar’s Office.
33

CHAPTER 4
L. Procedure for Application for change in course/major (Shifting)
1. A written permission together with a photocopy of valid ID from the parents must be presented
to the Registrar.
2. A shifting form is obtained at the Registrar’s Office.
3. Fill-out the form and secure the clearance/endorsement and approval of all offices indicated
in the application form. If a student is enjoying any form of scholarship, clearance is sought
from the director of College Admission and Aid Office.
4. Application for shifting in another course/major shall only be valid if the form is properly
accomplished and corresponding copies are distributed to the concerned offices.
M. Withdrawal from the University
A student, who, within the semester wishes to withdraw or drop out of the University, must
accomplish the procedures in K. (Withdrawal from or Dropping a Subject) for all the subjects enrolled
during the semester, in order that his/her withdrawal from the University is considered official. In addition,
the student accomplishes the Clearance Form, and files this with the Registrar’s Office.
A student will receive the marks appropriate for each subject, i.e. AF if s/he has incurred a number
of absences beyond the allowed number at the time when the application for withdrawal from the
University was filed, or “WP” whenever this is applicable.
A student’s withdrawal is considered “Leave of Absence” when s/he intends to return. In this
case, s/he must specify how long the leave of absence will be. Application for Leave of Absence still
requires a parent’s permit.
N. Recognition of Exemplary Performance
The University endeavors to create a culture of excellence in the students, and one way to encourage
excellent performance is to recognize and reward students who manifest this value in academic as well a
non-academic endeavors. Academic awards are conferred to students who reach the QPI requirements
for these awards. Non- academic awards are conferred on students for excellence in sports, leadership
and service. The semestral University and College Recognition Ceremonies are special occasions for
the parents, students and the University Community to honor the student achievers.

VI. FORMATION PROGRAMS
A. Office of Mission and Identity (OMI)
The Office of Mission and Identity is responsible for “the promotion of Ignatian Spirituality to ADNU
community and creation of opportunities for appropriating the ADNU Mission-Vision, and its thrusts for faith
and justice.”
B. The Ignatian Formation Center (IFC)
The Ignatian Formation Center is responsible for the overall implementation and continuing develop-
ment and improvement of the university’s Ignatian Formation Program (IFP) for ADNU’s various sectors and,
when applicable, to external community.
The Center has four major goals:
• To provide the members of the University community opportunities for personal growth and integration
and move them to commit to serve the kingdom of God and His mission.
• To initiate the formation of a community where members share a strong sense of solidarity in living out
the Ignatian ideals and charism.
• To instill a growing appreciation of the vision, mission and goals of the University as a Catholic, Jesuit and
Filipino institution functioning in the world.
• To serve as a resource for university initiatives on Ignatian Spirituality.
The Four Program Dimensions and Program Descriptions of ohe Ateneo de Naga University Ignatian
Formation Program (IFP)
1. Personal Dimension
The personal dimension in the framework is described as Personal Spirituality Program. Personal
Spirituality focuses primarily on the formation of the individual person, as embodied spirit; created in the
image and likeness of God, and his/her relationship with God. Spiritual Exercise 23 lays down the basic tenet
that man is called “to praise, reverence and serve God”, and to constantly choose that which would help
him/her better fulfill this end.
Ignatian Formation gives primacy to one’s personal spiritual experience through which s/he would at-
tain the grace of inner freedom to authentically respond to the love of God. This personal experience is so
important that the formation programs in Ateneo ensure that such opportunities, at appropriate times, are
available to the individual persons or members of the community. As St. Ignatius puts it (in SpEx #15), “the
Creator will deal directly with the creature, and the creature directly with His Creator and Lord. The Creator
and Lord in person communicate Himself to the devout soul in quest of the divine will, that He inflame it with
His love and praise, and dispose it for the way in which it could better serve God in the future”.
In the same dimension, opportunities for knowing oneself and appreciating his/her context, including
his/her vocation—whether in marriage, religious or priestly life, or single life, or other forms of consecrated
life, are given a special attention with the belief that the awareness and understanding of one’s person is
essential to the growth in one’s faith life or spirituality.
2. Community/Institutional Dimension
The community dimension in the framework is described as Community and Institutional Spirituality.
Community Spirituality focuses on the formation of the person, as a social being, and his relationship with
54
Untitled-1 172 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Formation Programs
others as a member and educator of the Ateneo de Naga University community whose inspiration and edu-
cational principles are drawn from St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. S/he is not created
as a solitary being. S/he needs others and grows to full maturity as a person only in relating with and through
others. S/he is called to love and live his/her life with others, and respond to the Kingdom as a Christian in
community as a Church. As the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines (PCP II) provides it, “We are called
as individuals, and each one must give personal response. But Christ calls us to form a Christian commu-
nity. He wants the Church to be ‘a communion of life, love and truth, a community of faith, hope and charity’
(PCP II, 89, p.36)”. The Ignatian world-view purports this inspiring theme that “the strength of a community
working in the service of the Kingdom is greater than that of any individual or group of individuals”.
As a member of the Ateneo de Naga University community, it is imperative that every teacher, student
or administrator not only manifests competence in his/her academic discipline but s/he must also exhibit
deep familiarity with the charism and core values of Jesuit education and share the same passion in the
vision and mission of the University. These would enable him/her to continue the ‘Jesuit tradition’ of educa-
tion and on the part of the institution a way to achieve its ultimate goal of forming ‘men and women for
others’ who will find God in all things and seek to serve first God’s Kingdom.
3. Student Life Dimension

The student dimension in the framework for students is described as Student Spirituality. This is fo-
cused primarily on the formation of the individual person as a student, specifically as a learner, insofar as s/
he is engaged with the university. This formation enables the students to develop the qualities of mind and
heart to, as St. Ignatius puts it (in SpEx 23), “desire and choose what is more conducive to the end for which
[they] are created,” or in secular term to aspire to excel at each stage of life, i.e., as a student, dedicates
himself/herself to fulfill his/her duties to study and gain the necessary knowledge, experience and compe-
tence of his/her academic discipline. Ultimately, this area of formation enables the individual members of
the academic community to work with others for the good of all in the “praise, reverence and service” of
the Kingdom of God.
4. Social Dimension
The social dimension in the framework is described as Social Spirituality. This focuses on the forma-
tion of the person and his/her relationship with the society and the world. As a human person, s/he not
only relates with other people or groups but also with the structures and systems of society in the world. S/
he affects structures and structures affect him/her, his/her life today and in the future. S/he is called to take
active part in the shaping and building of his/her world in such a manner that the Kingdom of God reigns.
The Ignatian world-view presents the challenging call for the “total commitment of men and women
who, to imitate and be more like Christ, will put their ideals into practice in the real world of ideas, social
movements, the family, business, political and legal structures, and religious activities.” As St. Ignatius puts
it (in SpEx #230), “love ought to manifest itself in deeds rather than in words,” and (in SpEx #231) that “love
consists in a mutual sharing of goods”. The formation programs in Ateneo provide such opportunities for
the individual person to share his/her gifts not just to his/her immediate family but to the bigger world as
well, especially the poor.

Retreat and Recollection Program
The implementation of the Retreat and Recollection Program is the main mandate of the College
Campus Ministry Office. The program focuses on Personal Spirituality, one of the spiritualities articulated in
the Ignatian Formation Program. Its primary purpose is to deepen the students’ personal relationship with
God through individual prayer, group sharing, community worship, and the reception of the Sacraments of
the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation. Retreats and recollection themes are from the Spiritual Exercises of
St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Retreats and recollections are given to all college students throughout the school year. The students
are required to attend the year-level recollections and senior’s retreat for the graduating students. Each
year level recollection is a prerequisite for the succeeding recollections, and eventually, the senior’s retreat.
Students who failed to attend the required recollection/ retreat need to attend make-up recollection/ retreat,
otherwise, they would be blocked from enrolment, and be denied admission or graduation until they shall
have completed their deficiency. Retreats and recollections organized by student organizations/ groups may
be credited upon the approval of the College Campus Ministry Office.
Retreats and recollections are coordinated with and implemented with partner units/ departments. These
spiritual formation activities are conducted in different retreat centers. The Campus Ministers and Invited
Retreat Directors, assisted by student volunteers, facilitate the aforementioned spiritual formation activities.
Regular Retreats and Recollections

• Recollection is a whole day prayer and self-examination activity. The theme for each year level
recollection is appropriated in order to enable the participants to have a meaningful encounter
with God through the different Ignatian prayer methods.
• Senior’s Retreat is a two or more days of spiritual formation activity. Students dwell in solitude,
experience silence, and spend longer time in prayer. The retreat may either be preached, silent,
or directed.

scope of the counselor’s expertise that the latter sometimes feel powerless to resolve or has limited
resources to address the concern. This is where referrals and collaborative work are most required. It
must be noted that all resources, expertise or needs are not found in one person or agency. Thus, the
need to collaborate and coordinate with other resources/expertise.
6. Group Guidance Activities

Group Guidance Activities are provided to all students to attain a deeper appreciation of one’s
chosen academic discipline, nurture a desire to become professionally competent, be equipped with
appropriate pedagogical skills, provide appropriate opportunities for training, and to prepare students
to assume responsible positions or leadership roles in any work or service they may get into now or
in their future career roles. The GGA offerings are aimed at providing structured group activities and
learnings on topics based on identified student needs.
7. Student Profiling
Summaries of student data from psychological tests, routine interviews, and surveys are collected
to classify groups of students, or identify groups of students in order that the Center may be able to
60
Untitled-1 178 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Formation Programs
address special needs. Profiles are generated for different levels of analyses University wide, per college,
per department, for a student organization, or on a per student level. These are done to describe the
characteristics of the studentry as a whole, which can be used as a basis for designing appropriate and
relevant interventions.
8. Research
Research is a vehicle by which accurate, valid, and up-to-date information can be gathered.
Findings can be used in drafting or revising school and guidance programs. This provides a very firm
and accurate basis for the formulation of programs and activities. With this, the CGC makes periodic
studies on the data gathered about the students to help the administrators in coming up with more
relevant plans based on the results of scientific research.
9. Student Monitoring
In this program, follow-up interviews are undertaken in order to track the development of the
students according to the goals of the guidance program and to monitor the development of individual
students or groups of students with special concerns. Grades are also monitored as an indicator of
growth.
10. Special Programs for Special Population

Special people need special programs to ensure their maximum growth. To help students in need of
special care and attention, the Center provides or initiates activities to give assistance to certain groups, like
the student achievers, students under academic probation, non-Bicolanos, students with AFs (failures due to
absences), students who will take the board exams, etc. These special interventions are aimed at facilitating
the growth and development of students with special needs.
11. Program on Gender Concerns

This program assists students who are in crisis due to domestic violence, sexual harassment, teenage
pregnancy, marital problems, drug related problems, etc. It also offers group guidance activities that
promote greater understanding of human sexuality and development, men-women relationships, and
other gender-related issues.
12. Student Volunteer Programs

The Student Volunteer Program was established to develop an auxiliary group that will help in
implementing the Center’s activities and guidance programs. Currently, there are four volunteer groups
in the Center – the Peer Coaches, the Student Volunteers, Kaabay Volunteers, and the Ateneo Facilitators’
Brigade. The members of these volunteer groups are provided with formation activities in line with the
Ignatian Formation Program. They are also given special trainings and enrichment sessions to increase
their knowledge and competence in peer coaching, facilitating, and program development.
Overall, through these programs and services, we hope that after four/five years, students should
be able to:
1. assess themselves accurately with regard to their interests, goals, mental processes,
interpersonal processes, etc.;
2. be accomplished academically;
3. have satisfying and growth facilitating interpersonal relationships;
4. be empowered to make decisions, create and follow through on their action plans; and
5. be hired.

CHAPTER 6
E. Community Development Programs

Along with student instruction and formation, involvement in service to the community is an integral
function of the Ateneo de Naga University. This involvement is desired to achieve this two-pronged
objective: 1) the improvement of the quality of life in the communities, particularly Bicol, and 2) to
ensure that the academic and value formation of students are rooted in, and responsive to, the needs
of the communities. To attain this two-pronged objective, the University has established the Social
Involvement Council which facilitates the greater and integrative collaboration between and among
the various offices, centers, institutes and the colleges, as well as with the faculty, staff and student
organizations in implementing an integrated social involvement program.
1. Framework of Development
The University Social Involvement Program shall be formulated based on a Framework of De-
velopment characterized and guided by the following:
a. The ultimate object of community outreach is the empowerment of communities in order

that they may be able to free themselves from the shackles of poverty and helplessness and
to build upon their capabilities to care for and secure the future for themselves and for the
future generations;
b. The empowerment of communities takes place and is sustained only when the desire for
such empowerment comes from the communities themselves and when these communities
take active participation in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of community
development initiatives
c. The development of communities shall be not only sustained but also hastened when the
pursuit thereof adheres to the principle, and recognizes the fact, that men and women
perform complementary roles and are equal partners in development and that therefore all
development endeavors must address all barriers to the realization of this principle;
2. The Social Involvement Program (USIP)
The Social Involvement Program of the University is a discerned, organized, and sustained
response to situations of poverty and powerlessness and a manifestation of its responses to local,
national, or international imperatives of sustainable development. Being among the most felt issues
in the Bicol Region and most far-reaching in their development impact to society, the following
development concerns shall be the focus of the University Social Involvement Program: 1) Health
and Nutrition, 2) Quality Basic Education, 3) Religious Education, 4) Environment, 5) Governance,
6)Livelihood and Entrepreneurship, 7) Disaster Risk and Response Management, and 8) Housing.
The Social Involvement Program is formulated and evaluated by the USIC within the University Social
Involvement Framework and implemented by the various colleges, offices, institutes, centers, and
organization of students in the pursuit of their respective mandates and organizational objectives.
3. Implementation Strategies:
a. Partnership with Communities on specific development projects as identified in the

Social Involvement Program
62

different formation offices, academic departments in the colleges, other related offices/
units, and the student government and recognized student organizations toward working
together in leadership and service in the formation of students.

Discipline

Untitled-1 186 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 7
VII. THE 2022 REVISED CODE OF DISCIPLINE
A. General Provisions
1. The Code of Discipline of the Ateneo de Naga University provides the discipline necessary for the
attainment of the University Mission. It addresses the behavior and spirit of students (cf. III, B, C),
on-and off-campus.
2. Matters pertaining to on and off-campus discipline fall under the jurisdiction of the Director of Student
Affairs (or DSA for brevity).
For minor complaints concerning the discipline of students off-campus, the DSA will decide if they
appropriately fall under the school’s jurisdiction.
The Director investigates all reported cases, ascertains the facts and imposes the proper sanctions for
minor violations of the rules. The Disciplinary Board, however, is convened to address major violations
referred to it by the DSA.
3. At the Ateneo de Naga University, the enrolled college student is responsible for his/her personal
behavior and discipline and, consequently, is accountable for the results of personal choices and
actions. Thus, he/she is the respondent to all eventual disciplinary actions against him/herself, not
his or her parents, teachers or friends.
4. Social functions bearing the name of the University, whether within or outside the campus, require
the approval of the DSA.
5. Official announcements and memoranda from the school administration are released through the
designated bulletin boards, university websites, public address system and other official media. The
students are responsible to keep themselves informed of these.
6. Students are summoned during class time ordinarily by means of a call slip signed by the DSA and other
authorized offices. Students are required to report to the requesting office on the specified schedule.
7. Students are responsible to use school property with care. A student who causes damage or loss
to the property of the school is subject to disciplinary measures and/or is required to replace the
damaged or lost property.
8. Library rules and sanctions are designed to guarantee optimum use of the library to the university
community.
The University Librarian refers all infractions or offenders to the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) for
appropriate action.
9. Students must register their cars and procure the gate pass sticker from the Office of Administrative
Services (or OAS, for brevity). They must park only in designated areas and avoid unnecessary blowing
of horns. For the guidance of students concerned, a copy on the policy on car gate pass/sticker,
parking and traffic management, can be secured at OAS.

CHAPTER 7
10. If an instructor is not in class at the prescribed time, the students should wait quietly inside the
classroom for 15 minutes for classes of one-and-a-half hours and 20 minutes for classes of three hours.
After this lapse of time, the students may consider themselves dismissed from this particular class.
The class beadle reports the instructor’s absence to the OSA and the department chair. However,
if the class is notified of the instructor’s time of arrival, the students must wait until the designated
time. If the instructor then fails to appear, the students dismiss themselves and the beadle informs
the OSA of the instructor’s absence.
11. A student may be sent out of class by the instructor for misbehavior. He/She is considered absent
from class, and must report immediately to the DSA.

teaching. Infractions against this rule are considered serious.

of group self-expression, or which disrespects the rights and dignity of human persons, whether
members or not, on or off campus.
Such groups are prohibited on campus. They may not use school property for any of their activities,
including recruitment and initiation. The name Ateneo de Naga University may never be used or
associated with any of their activities.
Membership in such groups or organizations is incompatible with membership in the University
community and it may merit dismissal as the maximum sanction.
The following students are required to submit the signed Anti-Violence Pledge as part
of enrolment or re-admission requirements:
a. New Students, which include Freshmen and Transferees
b. Returning Students / Applicants for Re-admission, which include those who are
taking a second course
Violation of the Anti-Violence Policy is considered grave and merits non-readmission,
dismissal or expulsion as a disciplinary sanction.
15. Students are subjected to disciplinary measures for the irresponsible use of the name of the school.
16. Bodyguards or chaperons of students may perform their duties on campus with the permission from
the DSA. On campus, they must conduct themselves with proper decorum. The student concerned
is responsible for his/her behavior.
B. Prescribed Uniform
There is a prescribed uniform for all college students. Students are required to wear the
prescribed school uniform on all class days except on Wednesdays and Saturdays, on and off classes
inside the University.

D. Due Process
The right to due process is an imperative of Christian charity and justice and is guaranteed under
the Philippine Constitution and defined by Manual of Regulations for Private Schools. This right shall
78
Untitled-1 196 8/13/22 3:16 PM

be observed in the conduct and resolutions of any and all disciplinary case(s). Due process involving
students requires:
1. The student must be informed in writing of the nature and cause of the accusation against
him/her;
2. The student shall have the right to answer the charges against him/her, with assistance of
counsel, if desired;
3. The student shall be informed of the evidence against him/her;
4. The student shall have the right to adduce evidence in his/her own behalf;
5. The evidence must be duly considered by the investigating committee or official designated
by the school authorities to hear and decide the case.
However, the school determines the process for handling students’ disciplinary cases, not the courts.
E. Procedure for Adjudication and Investigation of Disciplinary Cases
In the investigation and adjudication of disciplinary cases the following procedure is followed:
1. The aggrieved party files a complaint with the Director of Student Affairs (DSA) stating the
nature and the circumstances of the offense. The evidence or other materials relevant to the
case must be included in the complaint.
2. The DSA notifies the student concerned of charge(s) against him/her, furnishes him/her
with the copy of the complaint and the evidence against him/her. The student is required
to respond in writing to said charge(s) by filing his/her written response and statements of
witnesses, including the evidence within 72 hours after receipt of notice or at the specified
period of time as prescribed by the DSA. Failure to submit a reply will constitute a waiver of
the right to be heard. However, the case shall proceed.
3. The DSA then interviews all parties involved and conducts additional investigations as may
be necessary.
4. After the facts have been ascertained, the DSA assesses the gravity of the offense presented
and the evidence of guilt or innocence. For minor offenses, the DSA imposes the appropri-
ate penalty, which is executory.
5. For cases warranting suspension, dismissal or expulsion, the DSA convenes the Disciplinary
Board (DB).
6. Parents or guardian/s, the dean of college, and the department chair of the respondent/s shall
be duly notified by the DSA for offenses punishable by suspension, dismissal or expulsion.
7. The DSA presents the written report, including formal charges, the evidence and other
related material relevant to the case, the past disciplinary records of the student concerned,
and recommends suspension, dismissal or expulsion to the DB sitting in preliminary hear-
ing. Upon ascertaining that the recommendation of the DSA warrants further consideration
based on the evidence at hand, the DB moves to process the case further.
8. The DB sets the date for the formal hearing and deliberation.
9. The DB notifies in writing all parties involved and requests their presence at the formal hearing.
79
Untitled-1 197 8/13/22 3:16 PM

CHAPTER 7
10. While the responsibility for filing a complaint or for answering complaints/charges directed
against him/her rests solely with the student, both the complainant and the respondent may
ask a faculty member or a fellow student or a lawyer of his/her choice, if desired, to serve as
a personal counselor/adviser during the processing of his or her case. During the process,
such a counselor may request to be recognized by the DB. An administrator, however, can-
not be chosen as counselor. The complainant and the respondent shall submit the names of
their respective counselors to the DB prior to the scheduled hearing.
11. During the hearing, each party presents its side and supporting evidence (documents as well
as witnesses). The Board questions the parties and their witnesses, as necessary. The DB then
deliberates on the case and decides whether the respondent is guilty or innocent, whether
the sanction recommended by the DSA shall be imposed, or determines another sanction.
12. The DB submits its judgment, and penalty, in writing to the President for approval or disap-
proval.
13. The DSA communicates the judgment immediately after the President acts in the recom-
mendation to the student concerned in writing.
14. The student may appeal the judgment to the President within five (5) days from receipt of
judgment.
15. The decision of the President on any appeal is final and executory.
16. The DSA shall administer and oversee the implementation of the decision.
F. The Disciplinary Board
1. The Disciplinary Board is composed of seven (7) members: two (2) representatives from the
faculty, two (2) representatives from the parents, two (2) representatives from the students, and
a chairperson, appointed by the President. They shall serve for a period of one school year.
2. For any hearing, at least four (4) members must be present consisting of the representatives
from each sector and the Chair.
3. In the interest of the reputations of the concerned, the DB deliberations are documented
and confidential, unless released by the president for disclosure/publication in whole or part.
G. Provisions on Penalties
The penalties for minor offenses shall be given by the DSA, while the penalties for grave offenses
shall be decided by the University President after the deliberation and recommendation by the
Disciplinary Board.
The determination on whether the offense is minor or grave depends on the following:
1. The facts surrounding the case;
2. The gravity of the violation committed;
3. The seriousness of the damage or injury caused; and
4. Such other factors as may be deemed worthy of consideration.
The following are the penalties for minor and grave offenses:
80
Untitled-1 198 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Penalties for Minor Offenses:

1. Written Reprimand from the DSA
2. Written apology from the student
3. Mandatory School or community work
4. Restitution
5. Fines
6. Disciplinary Warning Status
Penalties for Grave Offenses:

1. Strict Disciplinary Status. The duration and conditions of which shall be recommended by
the Disciplinary Board and approved by the University President. Automatic dismissal shall be
given if any of the conditions is violated.
2. Suspension. MoRPHE’s Suspension deprives or denies the erring student from attending his/
her in classes and school activities for a definite period of time during a semester. The student
shall be reinstated in the school after the duration of suspension and upon compliance with the
sanctions and interventions as stated in the decision. During the period of suspension, the erring
student’s credentials are withheld.
A student under investigation of a case involving the penalty of suspension, dismissal or expul-
sion may be preventively suspended from entering the school premises if the evidence of guilt is
strong and/or the school head is morally convinced that the continued stay of the student during
the period of investigation constitutes sufficient distraction to the normal operation of the school
or poses real or imminent threat or danger to persons and property in the school’s premises and
activities.
3. Non-Readmission. MoRPHE’s Non-Readmission denies or deprives a student to enroll for a

semester or school year following the semester when the resolution or decision finding him/her
responsible of the offense charged and imposing the penalty of non-readmission was promul-
gated. The student may be reinstated in the school after the duration of non-readmission and
upon compliance with the sanctions and interventions as stated in the decision. If during the
period of non-readmission, the erring student decides to transfer to another school, he/she may
be issued transfer credentials upon compliance with the required sanctions and interventions,
and completion of the school’s clearance process and requirements, but he/she is not entitled
to Honorable Dismissal and Certificate of Good Moral Character.
4. Dismissal. Dismissal or dropping terminates the student’s status as a student of the University.
Once an erring student is dismissed, he/she becomes ineligible for readmission to the Univer-
sity. The dismissed student shall be issued his/her transfer credentials upon compliance with
the sanctions and interventions as stated in the decision, and completion of the school’s clear-
ance process and requirements. He/She is not entitled to Honorable Dismissal and Certificate of
Good Moral Character.

CHAPTER 7
5. Expulsion. “The penalty of expulsion is an extreme form of administrative sanction which (bans)
the student from all private and public schools. To be valid and effective, the penalty of expul-
sion requires the approval of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Expulsion is usually
considered proper punishment for gross misconduct or dishonesty and/or such offenses as haz-
ing, carrying deadly weapons, immorality, drunkenness, vandalism, hooliganism, assaulting a
teacher or any other school authority or his agent or student, instigating, engaging in activities
resulting in damages to campus or school facilities, property or injury to persons, preventing
or threatening students or faculty members or school authorities from discharging their duties
or from attending classes or entering the school premises, forging or tampering with school
records or transfer forms, or securing or using forged credentials” (Reamendment to paragraph
146 sub paragraph a and c of the Manual of Regulations for Private Schools, Seventh Edition,
1970 as contained in Circular no. 16, 1970).
Penalties listed under minor offenses may be added in the penalties for grave offenses.
Formative interventions such as but not limited to guidance counseling may be offered to students in-
volved in discipline-related concerns. Students who are given disciplinary sanctions are required to attend
guidance counseling.

CHAPTER 9 - Appendix A
APPENDIX A
Policy on Intellectual or Academic Dishonesty
I. RATIONALE
The Ateneo de Naga University seeks the integral formation of men and women who will contribute to
the total development of the family and the society in Bikol. By enrolling at the Ateneo, the Ateneo student
adheres to the University Mission and exemplifies the traits found in the Profile of the Graduate, among them
the value of honesty.
Intellectual or academic honesty among others is expected of the Ateneo student. This value when
transformed into concrete practice will determine the student’s character and performance in later life.
All members of the community have the moral responsibility to promote the value of intellectual
honesty, and, thus all have the major responsibility to address instances of dishonesty either by reporting it
or by directly confronting it.
The teacher is a molder of character and an exemplar of values to the students. Any act of dishonesty
by a student must be checked. If not, it will lead to the belief that dishonesty is acceptable. This would be a
direct contradiction of the Profile of the Graduate.
Every student must practice honesty. It is said that the test of honesty is what one does when nobody
is looking. Dishonesty, once proven, carries a stiff penalty as provided for in the Student Handbook and by
this policy.
II. DEFINITION OF AND GUIDELINES ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Dishonesty denotes a willful perversion of truth in order to deceive, cheat, mislead or defraud. Dishonesty
often brings an unfair advantage to the one committing it. Therefore, dishonest acts are actions that are
contrary to the truth; they are actions which convey what is counterfactual.
Academic or Intellectual Dishonesty refers to but is not restricted to actions such as cheating during
tests, quizzes, or recitations. Rather, it also includes to those acts or behavior outside the classroom or even
the campus that involve deceit and untruthfulness in the academic life of an Ateneo student.
There are three general forms of academic dishonesty:

1) Cheating during tests, quizzes, examinations, recitations, and/or other evaluative processes done
within the classroom;
2) Plagiarism or the submission of another’s work whether in part or in toto as one’s own; also, the
use of another’s work or ideas without explicitly mentioning the source;
3) Acts which abet or contribute to the commission of the above mentioned practices.
Some Specific Guidelines on Academic Dishonesty

• Academic assignments, projects, term papers, thesis, and the like are opportunities for honest
learning and true growth in academic discipline. All academic assignments are to be done by the
student either individually, or when required by the assignment, by the defined student-group
alone. “Help” from others which removes from the student the burden of authentic work and
personal growth is academically dishonest.
• Academicians respect the work of others. This is their intellectual property. It is academically
dishonest to represent as one’s work the work of another be this the work of a peer, a relative, a
friend, an expert, or even an author whose work is published in a journal, a book, or in the internet.
98
Untitled-1 216 8/13/22 3:16 PM

• Plagiarism is also a form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism occurs when one represents as
one’s own another’s written text, in whole or in part, either by outright copying or by superficial
paraphrasing without acknowledging the author or source.
• It is the responsibility of the student to properly credit another’s work. Other’s texts in one’s work
should be set off by quotes (or equivalent), and the source acknowledged. This is also true, mutatis
mutandi, for computer programs, scientific or technological projects, surveys, theses, and the like.
• Data incorporated in required projects must be authentic. They must not be fabricated, falsified,
tampered with, or fraudulently manipulated.
• Tampering with or falsification/fabrication of academic records and documents are fraudulent forms
of academic dishonesty.
III. INSTANCES AND INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Practices of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to the following.
A. During quizzes/tests, and exams:

• Looking at somebody else’s examination paper, or allowing another student to look or glance at
his/her paper
• Copying or allowing another person to copy from one’s paper; in the latter case both parties are
liable
• Unauthorized communication with another student in any form, i.e. signaling, whispering or
murmuring
• Unauthorized opening of one’s notes, books, photocopied materials
• Allowing another student to take the quiz, test, or exam on behalf of the examinee
• Passing answers to seatmates/classmates
• Submitting two sets of answers on a particular test or exam, and later claiming the one with the
higher rating as the one for recording
• Unauthorized possession, use, and distribution of the questions for quizzes, tests or of exams
(“leakage”)
• Possession, use, distribution of “kodigo”
B. During formal graded recitations:

• Coaching classmates with answers
• Unauthorized glancing at one’s or a seatmate’s notes, books, or photocopied materials
C. With regard to Course Requirements like papers, theses, projects, assignments, computer programs
or applications:
• Submission of a research/reflection paper where plagiarism was committed, i.e. papers that were
copied in part or in toto, or whose contents were simply a rearrangement of the original
• Submission of a requirement that was bought from or made by another person
• Falsification and/or fabrication of data, documents, records for one’s course requirements
D. Acts abetting Academic Dishonesty:

• Coercion of, and connivance with others, contributing in the commission of these acts
• Lying about one’s knowledge of instances where academic dishonesty has been committed
• “Covering up” one’s or another’s commission of academically dishonest acts
99
Untitled-1 217 8/13/22 3:16 PM

IV. SANCTIONS
Any offense of academic dishonesty that is proven, is recorded and subjected to sanctions. A student
who is proven to have violated the policy will be automatically disqualified from receiving academic recognition
for the semester when the infraction was committed. Consequently, cases of intellectual dishonesty bear
serious consequences on a student’s eligibility for graduation honors.
Below is a table of offenses and the sanctions that may be applied according to the deliberation
and decision of the OSA through the Disciplinary Board on specific cases. Moreover, since the table is not
comprehensive, the determination of other offenses and their appropriate sanctions falls on the OSA and/or
the Disciplinary Board.

Untitled-1 219 8/13/22 3:16 PM

2. In cases when a teacher or personnel becomes aware of the occurrence of an infraction of the
policy:
• The teacher shall inform the student involved of his/her violation and sanctions for the offense,
and rights and procedures for appeal. In cases of cheating during examinations and tests,
the teacher shall confiscate the student’s test paper together with the cheating paraphernalia
and then write an incident report. If possible, the teacher shall identify witnesses who will
voluntarily testify concerning the incident.
• The teacher or personnel shall submit the written complaint and incidental report in triplicate
within 72 hours to the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA). One copy of the report shall be
given to the student, the second copy shall be part of OSA’s file and the teacher shall keep
the third copy.
• If the accused student admits to the offense, appropriate sanctions shall be imposed. On
the other hand, should the student deny the accusation, the student has the right to appeal
to the Disciplinary Board through the OSA within three (3) working days upon receipt of the
written case report. Failure to do so would mean that the student waives his/her right to
appeal.
• In case of appeal made by a student, the OSA shall call in the accused and proceed with
an investigation. The OSA shall consolidate the pertinent documents and submit to the
Disciplinary Board its recommendations. In turn, the Disciplinary Board shall adjudicate over
the case, observing the approved procedures of the process.
3. In cases when a student becomes aware of the occurrence of an infraction of the policy:
• The student shall inform the immediate authority, e.g., the teacher handling the class where
the violation took place;
• If there is no immediate authority, the student should inform the OSA by writing and signing
a pre-formatted incidental report.
4. Since all scholars are expected to be role models of academic commitment and achievement,
any scholar found committing acts of academic dishonesty shall lose his/her scholarship. Cases
of academic dishonesty where the accused is a student on scholarship, shall be handled by the
Disciplinary Board.
5. Students proven guilty of violating the policy shall undergo counseling at the College Guidance
Center (CGC). Moreover, a clearance from the CGC stating that counseling has been undergone
will be required of student-violators for their next enrollment.
6. The policy shall supersede all previous formulated policies and guidelines on academic dishonesty,
e.g., on cheating, shall apply to all enrolled collegiate and graduate school students, and shall be
published in the handbook for the next academic year.
102
Untitled-1 220 8/13/22 3:16 PM

TEST SECURITY
The following rules shall be observed by the teachers and/or proctors in the administration of
examinations, tests/quizzes or any other evaluative exercises.
1. Examination rules, violations and sanctions among others shall be given emphasis during the classroom
orientation of college freshmen and the upperclassmen by their respective teachers in all subjects.
2. A teacher handling the subject shall be responsible for administering the examination (tests and
quizzes included). The teacher shall see to it that honesty in taking any academic exercise is upheld.
3. As a rule, only a teacher shall proctor another teacher’s examination. However, due to special
circumstances, other academic support staff may be considered upon the approval of the department
chair. In no case shall a student be called to proctor any other students’ exams.
4. Students, proctors or test administrators shall not leave the room once the examination, test/quiz
has started
5. Classroom management especially during examination shall be observed carefully. The following are
some suggestions:
a. All notebooks, books and other materials and electronic devices like cell phones, calculators,
and palmtop/laptop computers shall be placed in a designated section inside the room. The
use of the above are prohibited unless expressly allowed by the subject teacher as integral to
the exam.
b. The proctor/test administrator shall not allow any form of verbal and non-verbal communication
among students once the latter have received the test papers.

CHAPTER 9 - Appendix B
APPENDIX B
Revised Policy on Enrollment in Theology and Philosophy Subjects

During Summer
(Effective Summer Session of 2014)
I. Background and Rationale
During the Presidency of Fr. Joel E. Tabora, S.J., the colleges offering technical and board
programs, such as Engineering, Computer Studies, Education, and Accountancy requested that
the Jesuit Core Courses of Theology and Philosophy be offered during the summer term. The said
colleges observed that since PHIS004 (Moral Philosophy) and THES004 (Fundamentals of Moral
Theology) were taken on the last curriculum year of the students in the university, these two subjects
were often enrolled simultaneous with Practicum/OJT/Practice Teaching and other major subjects.
Consequently, when faced with the difficulties regarding their class attendance and fulfillment of
course requirements, the students frequently chose to prioritize the professional or major subjects
to the detriment of their performance in the core courses of Theology and Philosophy. This resulted
in grades of AF, F in the core courses which frequently led to their failure to graduate as intended.
In view of the above, the President approved the proposed policy that Theology and
Philosophy courses are offered during summer but with the following conditions:
1. Students cannot enroll in any other subject during summer when they
enroll in Theology or Philosophy courses;
2. Students can only enroll a maximum of six units during summer, with any of
these combinations:
a. Six units of Theology subjects, or
b. Six units of Philosophy subjects
3. The requirements of Theology and Philosophy during a regular semester
should likewise form part of their requirements during summer, to wit –
a. List of readings
b. Reflection papers
c. Annual recollection that is tied up to the schedule of a Theology or
Philosophy class, and
d. Outreach activities that should be processed in these two courses
While the intention of the policy was to help the students; in practice, the policy hindered
their on-time graduation due to some reasons. Moreover, it also affected the loading of the faculty
of the Theology and Philosophy Departments. Thus, a thorough review was conducted by the
College of Arts and Sciences, then presented and discussed in the Academic Council and later
in the Council of Administrators.
II. Revised Policy
Theology and Philosophy courses may be enrolled during the summer term and the conditions
originally attached to their enrollment are revoked. Notwithstanding this, the observance by all
academic units of the sequencing of both Theology and Philosophy subjects as provided in their
respective program’s curriculum is strongly encouraged.
104
Untitled-1 222 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Revised Policy on Enrollment in Theology and Philosophy Subjects During Summer
III. Implementing Guidelines
A. For Enrolling Students. Those allowed to enroll in Philosophy and Theology courses
during the summer must meet the following conditions:
1. They are students with backlog in terms of credit units, specifically, those
who have failures, stopped schooling, under-loaded due to work; AND must
have taken at least one Philosophy or Theology subjects during the previous
two semesters (this second clause applies to regular students but not to re-
admitted ones).
2. Their total maximum load, that is, Philosophy or Theology courses together with
non-Theology and non-Philosophy subjects, is 9 units unit only; no overload
is permitted.
3. They have taken the necessary pre-requisites for the intended Philosophy or
Theology courses to be enrolled in.
B. On the Delivery of Courses. To ensure that the Theology and Philosophy courses
offered during summer provide the same benefits as when they are taken during
the regular semesters, the following conditions shall be implemented:
1. The coverage of these courses when offered in summer shall be the same, if
not more substantial, as when they are offered on regular semesters.
2. A benchmark syllabus which contains the minimum essentials will be prepared
by the faculty members (under the supervision of their respective Chairs)
teaching the course. The faculty can add topics to the benchmark syllabus
but not subtract from it.
3. Reflections and insights on the lessons are among the most relevant activities
and requirements for these courses; they should not be overlooked or given
less importance. Thus, the teacher should be creative enough in managing
the class to allow reflections and insight sharing.
4. Conscious effort shall be exerted by both departments to collaborate with
the Office of Campus Ministry in ensuring that those who have not had their
annual retreat in the previous school year are able to take this during the
summer term in which they enroll in either a Theology or a Philosophy course.
5. In the event that engagement in a community outreach activity is also required
of a student, such may be conducted in nearby barangays (even outside of

CHAPTER 9 - Appendix D
APPENDIX D
System for the College Academic Standards Committee

(Nature, Functions, Composition, Term of Office, Process and Procedures for Change of Grades)
I. Background, Rationale and Functions
A. Background
Many times in the past, requests for change in grades due to various reasons had been one
of the concerns of the College Registrar of AdNU. Seeing that there was no definite structure for
decision and program for action on the assessment of needs in the changing of grades, Fr. Raul
J. Bonoan, S.J. ordered that a committee be formed to formulate policies regarding this matter.
Two committees had done the revisions of the policy and procedure on the changing of
grades. These were the committees formed in 1992 and 1997. However, there was no clear-cut
basis for the selection and composition of the committee members. Moreover, students had never
been represented to give balance to the decisions made by the standards committee.
During the time of the revision of the student handbook in SY 2000-2001, Fr. Tabora along
with some students whom he consulted made the revision on the number of days for appeal for
a change of grade to 7 days solely for graduation purposes.
In the year 2003, an ad hoc committee was formed to address the issues on selection and
composition of the members of the College Academic Standards Committee (CASC) and to
reformulate existing policies in the changing of grades.
B. Rationale
Grades are records of individual student’s cumulative performance across a given period
of time. They reflect the extent of the students’ learning of a particular course and the effort
accordingly invested by such student toward this achievement. In a larger sense, they, too, are
potential data for insight on such crucial matters as the efficiency and effectiveness of instruction
inclusive of content, methodology, tools for evaluation and assessment and the like.
These grades ascertain that a student has satisfactorily met the requirements of a certain
course. They are essential to the university for such decisions as promoting students, recognizing
honor awardees, determining worthy candidates for graduation, and even selecting student
representatives to congresses or fora. In the long term, these grades are considered an important
basis by institutions or companies for hiring an applicant for employment.
As a result of human error, however, instances arise when, despite the best intentions, students
are not given the grades due them. Such errors might occur in at least four (4) ways:
108
Untitled-1 226 8/13/22 3:16 PM

(a) by a mere miscalculation where items recorded are incorrectly computed according to
stipulated formulas;
(b) by negligence in the task of accurately recording quiz and examination results;
(c) by a grave abuse of discretion exercised when a teacher is amiss in accomplishing tasks
stipulated in the contract (e.g., fulfilling the number of contact teaching hours with students,
allowing insufficient or inappropriate basis for assessing learning, etc.); and
(d) by the failure of the learning process to prosper due to a blatant mismatch between the
teacher’s pedagogical skills (of deficiency of skills) and the students’ just expectations of a
teacher.
The College Academic Standards Committee exists as the arbiter in cases where the justice
behind a grade is in question. When a student presents a request for a change of grade, the
committee seeks to determine whether the aforementioned errors exist. If errors do not exist,
justice requires that the grade that has been given stays as it is. If, on the other hand, error is
established, justice requires that the grade be rectified accordingly.
As such, the committee directs the action necessitated by the decision it has reached.
C. Functions
The College Academic Standards Committee (CASC) shall
1. investigate the merits of the case or requests;

2. summon the parties concerned;
3. deliberate on the merits of requests for change of grades by students and /or teachers;
4. decide on the merits of the case; and
a. endorse the proposed solution to the student and /or teacher concerned; this shall
entail a procedure of conflict resolution whereby:
i. if the student or teacher agrees with the decision, the case rests;
ii. in the event of resistance or disagreement by either party of the decision, a sub-
committee composed of peers of the teacher shall investigate the particulars of
the case and determine whether an injustice was committed.
iii. if an injustice is established, the sub-committee specifies the remedy (e.g., how a
new grade can be determined such as stipulating a new exam, a project, a term
paper, etc.);
iv. this remedy decided on by the sub-committee is binding and is subject to appeal
only to the President.
5. direct the teacher to effect the appropriate rectification in the form of a change of grade;
6. in cases where the teacher still refuses to make the change and/or is no longer available to
do so, direct the College Registrar to effect such change in the student’s record.

the completion.
The faculty and/or the student requesting the change of grade submits to the CASC within one
semester after the course was taken. If the course is taken during the first semester, the deadline for
filing requests is the last working day of March. If the course is taken during the second semester and
summer, the deadline of filing requests is the last working day of October.
For delayed submission or non-submission of completion form within the above specified period
in which case the Incomplete Grade automatically turns into an F, both parties (student and/or teacher)
may file a change of grade within one semester after the set deadline.

need to belong and their desire to interact with peers. Thus, the University supports initiatives to
create, maintain and develop student organizations. It recognizes student organizations that facilitate
the adjustment and adaptation of Ateneans to life in college and at the same time promote human
dignity, freedom and solidarity.
The University adopts this system of Recognizing/Accrediting Student Organizations which aims:
1. To inspire the students toward optimal levels of self-actualization as learners in this Catholic,
Jesuit and Filipino University;
2. To establish the system through which legitimacy of student organizations could be officially
recognized/accredited by the University;
3. To provide a mechanism where opportunities for leadership, Ignatian formation, personal
and professional training and development of students could be facilitated and promoted
by the University.
II. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS AND MODERATORS
A. The Nature and Role of Student Organizations in the Formation of the Atenean
Student Organizations as Formative Structures. The University recognizes student organizations

as the second formal formative structure next to the core and specialized curriculum. Student organiza-
tions help perform the critical role of developing in the Atenean the characteristics of the profile of the
graduate. The fundamental nature of student organizations requires them to support the academic
endeavors of students as well as foster and advance scholastic achievement among its student mem-
bers. Student organizations create and maintain academic-oriented learning structures and processes.
They likewise undertake or participate in activities that encourage and nurture the competence of the
Atenean in his/her chosen field of specialization. Moreover, they provide the students with opportunities
for pursuing their creative inclinations, discovering their latent talent, and animating the Atenean spirit
in them. Socializing with his/her peers, the Atenean learns to appreciate the diversity and uniqueness
of individuals and, in communion with others, define his/her authentic self. By journeying together, the
Atenean searches for and finds the meaning of life in God.
138
Untitled-1 256 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Students Organizations as Instrument for Engaging the World. Of equal importance is the fact
that student organizations are in essence instruments for communal engagement in the world. Student
organizations proactively respond to contemporary social issues and dilemmas through rational dialogue,
academic discourse, and discerned communal action. In engaging themselves in the world, student
organizations utilize the manifold perspectives, knowledge, and technologies of various academic fields
facilitate the movement towards synergy in the community, tap the creative capacities of persons, and
gain from the wisdom of human experience. By involving themselves in the world, student organizations
afford their members the opportunity to exercise moral judgment, practice ethical decision-making and
manifest Christian virtues through solidarity with the poor. By actively participating in the world, the
Atenean ultimately finds truth, advances justice and attains authentic human freedom.
B. The Nature and Role of Moderators
The Moderator as Role Model. The Moderator is an example of a person for others who, living
up to the ideal of the magis, responds altruistically to the call of service through student organizations.
As a staff or faculty member, the moderator is competent in his/her primary job and believes that there
is much more that can be done in strengthening the University as an academic institution as well as in
building a more just and humane society.
Thus, he/she desires to be a part of this through his/her contribution to the formation and education
of students. He/She believes that personal and social transformation is possible through an expansion in
the breadth and depth of the individual and collective consciousness, and in inspirited communal action.
The Moderator as Formator. The moderator is a pedagogue with the fundamental task of develop-
ing in the Atenean the four-fold characteristic of competence, conscience, compassionate commitment
to change and Christ-centeredness. Through creative pedagogical interventions, moderators aim to
co-create and evolve animated and responsive learning organizations characterized by a purposeful
zeal to serve its members, the Ateneo community, society and God.
The Moderator as Guide and Mentor. The moderator is a servant-leader. He/She serves by
leading in a manner those results in greater freedom, wisdom, psychological and spiritual well-being,
autonomy, and responsibility for the Atenean. His/Her leadership inspires and intensifies the desire in
students to actively seek and serve the less privileged. The moderator listens with empathy and compas-
sion; he/she shares in the pains, problems, and joys of individual students and those of the group. The
moderator aids in individual and group decision-making by nurturing awareness and the acceptance
of realities. Moreover, moderators facilitate learning from past experiences, understanding of current
realities, and the foreseeing of consequences of decisions made.
The Moderator as Facilitator. The moderator is a facilitator of individual and organizational

growth and development. Primarily working with the leaders of student organizations, the moderator
helps clarify with the group the organization’s purpose, aims and values. He/She ensures that the lead-
ers and members understand, accept, share in, and strive for the achievement of the organizations’
mission-vision. Working together with the leaders and members, the moderators assist in defining
the organization’s values so as to develop and maintain a culture that furthers the attainment of the
organization’s purpose and aims.
139
Untitled-1 257 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Learning organizations are characterized by sense of community. Thus, the moderator facilitates
growth in the student’s awareness of and appreciation of oneself and others through the building of
teams. Similarly, he/she stimulates greater consciousness and an in-depth exploration of the social milieu
within which the organization elicits, advocates, and encourages proactive responses.
The moderator, through highly participative learning processes, aids the leaders of the organi-
zation to identify and discern appropriate courses of action, establish structures and systems for the
implementation of decisions, mobilize necessary human and material resources, and evaluate the
outcomes of their efforts.
The Moderator as Mediator. The moderator is a mediator between the student organization and
the administration. By the integrating himself/herself in the life of the organization, he/she familiarize
himself/herself with the, concerns of the students and liaise with the administration on these concerns.
The moderator also manages conflict among members when these arise. As the administration’s rep-
resentative, he/she ensures the well being and safety of the students in the conduct of organizational
activities.
III. DISTINCTION BETWEEN RECOGNITION AND ACCREDITATION OF STUDENT ORGANI-

ZATIONS AND THE PRIVILEGES ATTACHED THERETO
Recognition precedes accreditation. It refers to the act of the University of giving formal and
legitimate existence and/or operation of a student organization that has been created, founded or
organized within the University for various purposes that serve the students’ desire to organize or form
associations and which may or may not significantly advance the university’s formative, educational and
social goals. When appropriate, the university may also recognize those other student organizations
that are founded from outside the university. Recognition, therefore, gives the student organization
the privilege to operate and/or conduct activities inside or outside the university and enjoy the benefits
and privileges attached thereto, as follows:
a) participation in the IFP projects and other school activities, with or without fees such At-
eneo Workshop on Ignatian Leadership for Life (Ateneo WILL); experiences on the Spiritual
Exercises like Silent Retreat or 5-day or 8-day Directed Retreats; Youth Camp; Skills Building
Workshops and Seminars; etc;
b) use of university facilities with or without fees, according to policy;
c) collection of membership dues, and;
d) sanctioning by OSA of on-campus and off-campus activities.
Recognition is enjoyed only for a period of one (1) year, after which the organizations will have to
re-apply for recognition, if desired.
Accreditation, on the other hand, is a status granted by the University to student organizations
that have demonstrated outstanding performance and organizational commitment to promote among
its members and through its activities inside and outside the university the growth of the Atenean in
the characteristic of the profile of the university graduate.
140
Untitled-1 258 8/13/22 3:16 PM

Like recognition, accreditation gives the student organization the privilege to operate and/or
conduct activities inside or outside the university. However, for accredited organizations, other than the
benefits and privileges enjoyed by recognized organizations, in addition, they may enjoy the following
other privileges, subject to certain procedures:
a) office space, subject to availability of facilities;

b) participation in the IFP projects and activities for free such Ateneo Workshop on Ignatian
Leadership for Life (A-WILL); experiences on the Spiritual Exercises like Silent Retreat or 5-day
or 8-day Directed Retreats; Youth Camp; Skills Building Workshops and Seminars; etc;
c) use of university facilities and equipment for free;
d) support for off-campus seminars or attendance to conferences or conventions or competi-
tions; and, when appropriate, financial assistance for projects initiated for the benefit of a
community or group of persons within or outside the university
Accreditation status is enjoyed for a period two years, after which the organizations will have to
re-apply for accreditation, if desired.
IV. GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Guided by the provisions of Chapter 7, Code of Discipline, General Provision #15, of the Student
Handbook on organizations or groups that are prohibited on campus, the student organizations that may
be recognized or accredited in the Ateneo de Naga University are classified into either Co-Curricular or
Extra-Curricular groups. These groups may further be categorized according to their nature or identity
which, among others, may be in any of the following:
1. Academic – organizations whose purpose, programs and projects are essentially linked
with and supportive of the educational aims of the specialized academic programs of the different
colleges.
2. Alliances – a permanent umbrella organization of related student-based organizations

primarily concerned with advancing common formative, educational and social aims.
3. Athletic – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are concerned with
advocating physical education and developing mastery of particular sports.
4. Cultural – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily concerned
with the development of the Bicolano and Filipino identity and character through artistic expression.
5. Dormitory – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects primarily concerned

with serving the needs of residents of campus dormitories.
6. Environment – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily

concerned with the enjoyment, protection, conservation, preservation, and sustainable
management and development of natural resources, the environment and ecology.
141
Untitled-1 259 8/13/22 3:16 PM

7. Political – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily concerned
with the maturation and participation in campus politics.
8. Publication – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily

concerned with research and the publication of the official student paper and other student-initiated
publications.
9. Religious – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily concerned
with enhancing the spiritual and religious formation of students.
10. Socio-Civic – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily
concerned with delivering a specific service to society.
11. Student Scholars – organizations whose membership is comprised by recipients of

scholarships and whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily concerned with serving
their needs.
12. Varsitarian – organizations whose purposes, programs and projects are primarily
concerned with strengthening relationships among students from a specific geographical area.
As a matter of procedure, the recognition of co-curricular organizations is automatic

in nature as they are simply extension of the academic structure of the different academic
departments/colleges.

Policy, Guidelines, and Procedures for Sponsorships
APPENDIX M
I. INTRODUCTION
These policy, guidelines, and procedures aim to provide guidance to all academic and non-
academic units including student groups or organizations on the sponsorship of events, programs,
publications or other activities by non-university entities. In general, sponsorships for activities are not
allowed, but may be considered for approved activities which have limited financial capability.
Sponsorship of unit activities, programs or events by non-university entities can, when conducted in
an appropriate manner, be beneficial to the sponsored unit as well as to the sponsoring entity. However,
it is also necessary to recognize that the University is a private institution and that its reputation and
image must be protected, and that it must not serve to unduly advance the interests of one entity or
organization over another.
These guidelines also hope to cover the acknowledgement of sponsorships and acceptance of
gift/s by University units, student groups or organizations, and individuals (faculty, staff, and students).
University resources are to be used in support of the educational, research, and social involvement
missions of the University and must not be used for non-mission related purposes or for private gain.
These guidelines notwithstanding, the University reserves the right of final determination on the
appropriateness of sponsorships.
The Office of the President has the sole and final authority in the administration and implementation
of this policy.
II. DEFINITIONS
A. SPONSORSHIPS: Money, goods, or services from organizations or individuals outside the

University provided to underwrite specific activities by the University and /or requiring
the University to meet specific requirements while performing activities in support of the
University’s mission.
B. ACKNOWLEDGING SPONSORSHIPS: Recognizing financial, material (e.g. equipment,
supplies, goods, etc.), or service support to the University’s mission by an organization or
individual.
C. GIFTS: Contributions made to the University for which the provider receives no direct
benefit and requires nothing in exchange beyond a general assurance that the intent of the
contribution will be honored.
D. UNRELATED BUSINESS ACTIVITY: A business activity that is regularly carried on, conducted
for the production of income, and not substantially related to the exempt purposes of the
institution.
III. PROHIBITION
Individual users (student, staff, or faculty) are not permitted to benefit personally or benefit others
through accepting sponsorships, acknowledging sponsorships under any circumstances.

Policy Statement On Campus Traffic Management
APPENDIX P
POLICY STATEMENT ON CAMPUS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

Rationale:
The Ateneo de Naga University is a private educational institution and is primarily a pedestrian-
oriented campus. As such, it encourages the members of the academic community, particularly vehicle
owners/drivers, to faithfully observe and comply with the measures provided by the University for
the safe, orderly and peaceful campus environment that is supportive of and conducive to students’
learning and development.
Thus, while the University gives vehicle owners/drivers the privilege to use the roads and its
parking spaces upon payment of a modest amount, it also equally upholds, first and foremost, its duty
to ensure the safety and security of all campus pedestrians – students, employees, guests and visitors.
IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES ON VEHICLE TRAFFIC AND PARKING MANAGEMENT

The University, even as it is primarily a pedestrian-oriented campus, acknowledges the

need for employees/visitors to use transport vehicles such as cars and motorbikes to commute to/
from University. Though a good network of roadways are in the campus for the vehicles, the increase
in the number of students, employees, visitors, our security/traffic and pedestrian flow has become
a concern inside the campus. And the development of new facilities and buildings has made vehicle
parking limited to certain areas in the campus. By principle, parking spaces are not a matter of right
for employees/visitors who have vehicles but a privilege provided by the University. Thus, there is a
need to put in place for the safety and security of all constituents, a system of effective regulation and
monitoring of the traffic, security and parking in the campus.
In this context, the entry and parking of any vehicle in the campus undergoes security and
monitoring by the security personnel, and is subject to the regulations and policies of the administration
in order to maintain the safe, orderly and peaceful environment of the school campus.
The following are specific objectives:
1. To provide proper safety and security for vehicles and pedestrians in the campus;
2. To provide an effective control and monitoring systems of vehicles coming in and going out of
the campus through a gate pass system;
3. To keep an orderly flow of vehicular traffic through the security personnel;
4. To maintain parking areas and protect pedestrians from harm that might caused by moving vehicles;
5. To establish processes and policies for violations and it respective sanctions.

CHAPTER 9 - Appendix P
SECTION I. AUTHORITIES AND ADMINISTRATION
The Office of Administrative Services (OAS) is the office responsible for monitoring and regulat-
ing traffic and parking of vehicles coming in/out of the campus. With coordination with the Physical
Plant Administration, they are responsible with the development and designation of parking areas in
the campus.
The OAS, being the one responsible for the implementation of the traffic and parking policies,
has the authority to cite traffic or parking violations, and in dire cases suspend the gate pass issued to
vehicle owners who later turn out to be persistent violators.
The President has the authority, through consultation with the Council of Administrators and
recommendation of the OAS, in changing or modifying any traffic or parking policies in Ateneo de
Naga University.
SECTION II. RULES & PROCEDURES

Fire and Earthquake Drills Guide
APPENDIX R
FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE DRILLS GUIDE

YOU MAY FIND FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE DRILLS CORNY AND A WASTE OF TIME. WE ASK YOU TO
RECONSIDER.
FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE DRILLS conducted twice in a school year simply aim to familiarize members of
the university community with the emergency procedure, nearest building exits and the designated places of
evacuation, with the hope that the familiarity brought by the drill will lessen the confusion, panic, and hesitation
AND HELP SAVE LIVES in case fire/ earthquake do happen. WE KNOW NOT WHEN they will happen, BUT AT
LEAST WE KNOW HOW to respond if they do.
The START OF THE DRILL is announced through the Public Address System. For FIRE DRILL, the SIREN
SOUND is a cue for everyone to EVACUATE AND PROCEED TO THE NEAREST PRP . For EARTHQUAKE DRILL, the
ALARM is a cue for everyone to perform the DUCK, COVER, AND HOLD for 1 MINUTE, followed by EVACUATION
TO THE NEAREST PRP.
DURING THE DRILL, PLEASE FOLLOW YOUR TEACHER’S INSTRUCTIONS. PLEASE PARTICIPATE ACTIVELY
AND TAKE THE DRILL SERIOUSLY.
FIRE
At the sound of the alarm, STAY CALM and upon the instruction of your teacher, DO the following:
1. LEAVE THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
2. WALK QUICKLY BUT CALMLY. DO NOT RUN. DO NOT PUSH or SHOVE another along the way.
3. PROCEED TO THE NEAREST BUILDING EXIT AND TO THE NEAREST PLACE OF RALLYING POINT (PRP) .
4. If you must exit through smoke, clean air will be several inches off the floor. GET DOWN ON YOUR HANDS AND
KNEES AND CRAWL TO THE NEAREST EXIT.
5. STAY AT THE PLACE OF RALLYING POINT (PRP) until further instruction. Your teacher will check the attendance
to make sure that everyone was able to evacuate safely.
EARTHQUAKE
At the onset of the quake, STAY CALM and upon the instruction of your teacher, DO the following:
1. STAY PUT. DO NOT LEAVE THE CLASSROOM.
2. DUCK, COVER, AND HOLD.
DUCK. Assume crash position on knees, head down and hands clasped on back of neck.
COVER. Move away from windows, shelves and heavy objects that may fall. Take cover under desks, tables,
corner, doorway or other sturdy furniture. Cover head with book or jacket.
HOLD the position until the ground stops shaking. Count up to 60.
3. As soon as the ground stops shaking, and upon the instruction of the teacher, PROCEED TO THE NEAREST
BUILDING EXIT AND TO THE PLACE OF RALLYING POINT (PRP) .
4. WALK QUICKLY BUT CALMLY. DO NOT RUN . DO NOT PUSH or SHOVE another along the way.
5. STAY AT THE PLACE OF RALLYING POINT (PRP) until further instruction. Your teacher will check the attendance
to make sure that everyone was able to evacuate safely.
PLACE OF RALLYING POINTS (PRPs)

PRPs are designated open spaces in campus in which members of the university community are encouraged
to go to during the evacuation stage. They are considered to be safe spots; well away from buildings, trees, electric
posts and other objects which may cause harm during fire or earthquake. The following are the PRPs:
PRP 1 - Xavier Hall Grounds PRP 4 - St. Ignatius Park
PRP 2 - Christ the King Church Grounds PRP 5 - Soccer Field
PRP 3 - Parking Area, beside ACLC
There is no designated PRP per building. In case of real fire or earthquake, proceed to the nearest PRP.
