X. Classroom Policies
A. Students who miss classes are required to submit an admission slip from the Deans office. They are held responsible for missed lessons and
are not excused from taking quizzes and passing assignment.
 B. No special quizzes are given to students who missed them except for justifiable cases like sickness or death in the family.
C. Students who come late are required to seek permission to enter the class. A half point is deducted from their attendance grade. 2 tardiness
are equivalent to an absence.
D. No late reports will be accepted.
E. Students are required to be in uniform except on a wash day. They are also required to wear their IDs. Anyone without the ID is expected to present
an admission slip from the Deans office.
F. 10 unexcused absences from an MWF class and 7 from a TTH class will mean being dropped from the role.
G. Those who cannot get their major exams on time will be given a week within which to take it. Otherwise, they will automatically get a failing mark for that exam.
H. As soon as the class begins, no one is allowed to leave the room until the class ends.
I. Students are invited to seek the assistance of the faculty member on the scheduled consultation hours.
