XI. CLASS POLICIES

1. Student Attendance and Absences
a. Regardless of a disability, all students are responsible for fulfilling the essential
requirements of courses/programs/degrees, including attendance expectations.
b. No one is allowed to attend a class unless officially enrolled on a credit or non-credit basis
with the appropriate fees paid. Students who attend, participate and strive to complete
course requirements without formal enrolment will not receive credit for their work.
c. In compliance with the College regulations governing class attendance, students who stop
attending the class for at least twenty percent (20%) of the required number of class
hours for classroom and laboratory instruction in a semester without justifiable reasons
or who have never attended class will be dropped from the class. (Attendance is defined
as physical attendance, participation or presence in an academically related activity such
as submission of an assignment (e.g., homework, research paper), quiz/ examination, or
participation in group activities.)
d. Severe consequences on students who miss term exams without a "satisfactory
explanation" shall be imposed, namely, a failing grade in the course. To avoid such dire
action, the policy instructs students "unable to take major examinations because of illness
or other reasons over which they have no control" to notify the instructor immediately.
Students should be prepared to document their illness or the extenuating circumstances
that caused them to miss the exam.
e. Students are excused from classes to participate in college-approved events or
competitions. Before missing classes, the participants must present their instructors with
a letter signed by both the College Administrator and the faculty adviser/coach of the
 student. These letters confirm the dates and locations of the events. An excused absence
does not excuse students from completing course work missed during their absences.
f. The College physician will provide students with a medical excuse only if the student's
illness warrants such action. If a student is examined by a physician during the time
he/she is ill, the physician will decide at that time if the student is too ill to attend classes.
If an excuse is warranted, the physician will specify this on a medical certificate, which the
student will receive and shown to the instructor upon their entrance to the class.
g. Students who face emergencies, such as a death in the family, serious illness of a family
member, court appearances, hazardous weather that makes attendance impossible or
other situations beyond their control that preclude class attendance should notify their
instructors immediately to be excused from their class.
h. Students without notifications of absence or excuse letters will not be allowed to have
make-up course work such as quiz but will be allowed to take midterm and/or final
examinations.
i. The standards of student attendance shall be strictly adhered to by faculty members to
prevent the giving of academic credits to students who do not meet the minimum
requirements.
j. Students who are absent for whatever reason are taken against them, whether they are
excused or not. Thus, absence is recorded as such for record’s purposes.
k. Habitual absenteeism shall be reported by the faculty to the Guidance Counselor who will
then conduct counseling on the concerned student. The Guidance Counselor may call
upon the concerned student and/or his/her parents or guardians for a conference.
l. A student who arrives within the first ten (10) minutes of the class period shall be marked
late; otherwise, he/she will be marked absent even though he is allowed to join the class
for the remainder of the period.
m. If a student is habitually late, the faculty shall refer said student to the Guidance
Counselor for counseling.
n. A student who leaves the class after the roll call and never returns toward the end of the
period shall be considered absent.
o. Time lost due to late enrolment shall be considered time lost by absence.

2. Class Meetings and Dismissal of Classes

a. Faculty members should observe punctuality in conducting their respective classes. The
faculty should be in his class before the said class.
b. Faculty members are required to begin their respective classes promptly.
c. Faculty members should dismiss their classes five (5) minutes before the end of each
period to allow the students to move and transfer to their next class.
d. No one is allowed to disrupt the class by calling on the faculty or any student during class
hours without an official locator slip issued by the Dean/Head of the concerned faculty or
student.
e. Faculty shall stay in the classroom and conduct classes during the entire period.

3. Classroom Discipline
a. Faculty members are persons in authority and shall have the right to discipline students
who commit infractions such as cheating, shouting, and making unnecessary noise, using
vulgar language, impolite and other unacceptable behaviors as provided for in the
Student Manual. No faculty, however, shall inflict corporal punishment on offending
 students nor shall he/she make deductions in the students’ scholastic ratings for acts that
are clearly not manifestations of poor scholarship.
b. Faculty members shall discourage disruptive student behavior and strictly ban
indiscriminate use of cell phones and other electronic devices inside the classroom.
c. Faculty members shall ensure that students are doing meaningful tasks inside the
classroom during their vacant periods.
d. Faculty members shall ensure cleanliness inside the classroom and its vicinity.
Chalkboards shall be cleaned before leaving the classroom. Chairs and tables shall be
arranged. Lights shall be switched off.

4. Use of Electronics Devices in the Classroom

Electronic devices such as cellphones may be used in the class under the direction of the
instructor for instructional purposes or otherwise directed at the discretion of the instructor.
Students who use their devices for non-instructional purposes will be directed to put the
device away; failure to do so will be considered insubordination and referred to school
administration.

5. Class Participation and Behavior

1. Class participation is a very important part of the learning process in this course.
Students will be evaluated on the quality of their contributions and insights.
2. Any form of cheating will immediately earn you a failing grade.
3. Students are required to adhere to the behavior standards and to refrain from disrupting
classes.
4. If a student is disruptive, the faculty member may ask the student to stop the disruptive
behavior and warn the student that such disruptive behavior can result in academic or
