VIII. CLASS POLICIES
From PRMSU Website refer to Academic Policies and Procedures:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A2bGxHzxgWdhBGH5jFq8MEcPBSl0-oGq/view)
A student is considered officially dropped only upon submission of the instructor’s copy of the duly accomplished
dropping slip before the scheduled deadline for dropping. A student who has dropped the course but fails to submit
DROPPING
the instructor’s copy at least two (2) weeks before the last day of classes will be given a grade of 5.0. (refer to
student handbook)
Revision 00-08132021 11 | P a g e
Zambales
Any late submission of/missed quizzes, homework and activities will have a grade of zero. Unexcused exam absence
will automatically merit the student a grade of zero. For an excused exam absence, the student will be given a grade
of INC and a chance to take the equivalent examination, i.e. similar topics, in a future Specs 500 class. A valid excuse
is qualified as either death of family members up to the second degree of consanguinity, confinement due to a
serious medical condition (certified by a doctor who is not related to the student), or representing the college/
university in competitions. It is the student’s duty to establish the veracity of the excuse. This should be coordinated
with the instructor as soon as possible/in the meeting following the exam. Only one examination may be excused in
this manner.
Special Exam/Missed Major Exam

If you have missed faculty-conducted exam due to illness or misadventure, you may apply for an alternative exam.
(refer to student handbook)
MISSED MAJOR EXAMINATIONS Special Circumstances/Special Needs

MISSED ACTIVITIES Students with disability or ongoing illness can make arrangements with the professor/instructor regarding the
different assessment tasks (e.g. projects, exam, quiz) to minimize or eliminate the impact of his/her disability.
However, meeting the learning objectives of the subject must be observable. The arrangements will involve
modifications of the assessment tasks (e.g. performance task) but maintain academic standards. (refer to RA 722
Special Consideration/Missed Activities
Special consideration consists of the exercise of academic discretion to provide equitable treatment to students whose
performance in an assessment item is affected by illness, accident or work-related circumstances and for single
parent (as per RA 8972/Solo Parent Act).
You should only apply for special consideration when your performance in an assessment item, including
examinations, has been affected by extenuating or special circumstances beyond your control. Special consideration
is not automatically guaranteed and may not result in a mark adjustment. (faculty discretion)
For students involved in religious, sports and cultural activities (athletes, performing artist) will also be given
considerations, only if they present the program of activity and excuse letter from their respective pastor or coaches.
(refer to student manual/memo from OUP)
Revision 00-08132021 12 | P a g e
Zambales
It is expected that the student follows the highest principles of academic honesty. Any form of work that will be
submitted should be their own or should have the work of others clearly documented and acknowledged. All students
must be committed to the principles of intellectual honesty and integrity. Once found responsible of an academic
dishonesty violation (cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, sabotage, participation in academically dishonest activities,
facilitating academic dishonesty, etc), a student will be subjected to the University's rules and regulations which may
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
result to a failing mark and expulsion from the university.
Cheating in quizzes, homework, and exams, as well as academic dishonesty in general, will not and never be
tolerated. Any attempt at cheating in any requirement will entail the student an automatic grade of 5.00, and the
case will be forwarded to the Student Disciplinary Council (SDC). Course withdrawals to avoid getting a grade of 5.0
in these cases will not be permitted. (refer to Student Handbook)
Due to this pandemic face to face consultation is not encouraged. To ensure the instructor’s availability, schedule an
appointment with the instructor. Consultation via e-mail is encouraged as well. Please state your question as
CONSULTATION
completely as possible. Consultation through phone will only be entertained if the student introduces himself/herself
and follows courteous language. (refer to faculty manual/individual faculty teaching load)
If you are a student with special needs and require accommodations, you must be registered with the University’s
Guidance and Counseling Office (GCO). Students must provide current documentation to GCO which identifies their
special needs and need for accommodation(s). Students must meet instructors with appropriate notification from GCO
of the approved accommodation as early in the semester as possible. You may learn more about the services of the
SPECIAL SERVICES GCO by visiting its office.
Note: For other academic and student policy, please refer to the student handbook/manual.
