OTHER COURSE POLICIES

LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION

English is the medium of instruction. Lectures, discussions, and documentation will be in English. Code switching is highly
discouraged and the use of other languages aside from English in communicating and in presenting course works will be a valid
ground for demerits in that given exercise.

ATTENDANCE

Per Section 1551 of CHED’s Manual of Regulations for Private Educational Institutions, a student who has incurred absences
more than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of school days shall not be given credit to the course regardless of class
standing. For further provisions of the said policy, please refer to the MCL Student Catalogue.

HOMEWORK, WRITTEN REPORTS AND REACTION PAPERS

All homework and other assigned course works must be submitted on time.

HONOR, DRESS, AND GROOMING CODE

Other provisions stipulated in the MCL Student Catalogue will be enforced in and out of the classroom. Students who have
violated the dress code policy and other related offenses will not be permitted to attend classes without being cleared by the
Student Affairs Office or the Guidance Office.
