DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: FOUNDATIONS OF SERVICE
SECOND SEMESTER AY 2019-2020
SLU NSTP: FORMING COMPETENT, CREATIVE, AND CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERS SOCIALLY INVOLVED AS YOUNG
MISSIONARIES AND NATION BUILDERS
I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES:
1. NSTP CWTS 1 is a pre-requisite training subject to another subject NSTP CWTS 2. Both subjects are
mandated by RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001. Gleaned from the law, these subjects engage college
students to be more nationalistic and patriotic by aggressively integrating themselves in the promotion of
community welfare. The training program as fundamentally stipulated in the NSTP law possesses a genuine
institutional nature. An implementing Higher Education Institution inputs its capabilities, culture, vision-
mission, and values towards the preparation of students in national and community service involvement.
Hence, the foundations of Service Louisians are re-oriented to include the vision-mission and values of the
University that can equip them with the requisites of Filipino community service involvement. Other lessons
incorporated here as per the law and its IRR and other pertinent memos are good citizenship, volunteerism,
crime prevention and safety promotion, anti-drug abuse, environmental promotion, health, emergency
response, calamity and disaster risk reduction and management, among many others. Relatedly, SLU-NSTP
incorporates the mandate of RA 9418 or the National Volunteer Act of 2007. College students must
continue to volunteer their time, efforts, and profession in community transformation. And as Louisians,
such transformation embodies Filipino and missionary culture. NSTP CWTS 1 is a modular training subject
which is mostly classroom-based training with minor field exposures. It employs various group dynamics
and creative instructional technologies that can provide students the basic but optimum hands-on or
student centered preparations for the said community service involvement. This subject shall introduce
students to be more meaningfully involved in community welfare participation during their NSTP CWTS 2,
during their stay in the University after their NSTP, when they shall be tasked to extend their professional
practice to communities when they have graduated or are employed, and wherever they wish to volunteer.
Incorporating the various training requirements stipulated in the NSTP IRR, this part of the training will focus
on forming competent, creative, and Christian volunteers socially involved as young missionaries and nation
builders.
2. Community service involvement is among the trademarks of a Louisian. SLU was established with a mission
towards academic excellence and missionary spirit. Not only must Louisians be competent, creative and
Christian, but they must also be socially involved in community service. Hence, NSTP, just like any
community service involvement program in the University, is an integral subject of a Louisian. NSTP may
be perceived as an ordinary subject. But it is not ordinary for a Louisian who wishes to genuinely live his
Louisian identity. SLU students are required to equally give their best.
3. Community service as a trademark of a Louisian is a character that understands and respects the individual
differences of persons that make them unique and significant. It is a character that helps discover and
enable every person’s capabilities or potentials. Community service is enabling each one to live well with
others in their unique and individual differences.
4. SLU-NSTP underscores service or work ethics and character which are also of competitive advantage when
the Louisian graduate applies for work or when already employed. SLU-NSTP emphasizes building service or
work ethics and character.
5. As per RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001, the primary goals of NSTP are: civic consciousness, defense
preparedness, developing the ethics of service, patriotism, and good citizenship. It must be added that the
major goal of Community Service Involvement (CSI) is building a community where all people, regardless of
differences, can live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved
quality of life for all.
6. SLU-NSTP is called a missionary apostolate. It is one concrete way of evangelizing others by letting them
feel or encounter Divine providence and presence through the meaningful services rendered with them. SLU
was established as a missionary institution. As Louisians, it is our mission to help ourselves and other
people transform lives, in its various dimensions, according to God’s teachings.
7. As missionary service providers, Louisian students are considered to be apostles –“ambassadors of
goodwill” (the word “apostles” originated from the Greek word “apostolos” which in Hebrew word is called
“Shalliack”. Shalliack means ambassadors of goodwill.)
8. Incorporating the above, the following are the program core-focus of SLU-NSTP: a) community inclusive
solidarity; b) Volunteerism and good citizenship; c) the CICM Missionary Legacy; d) JEEPGY- JPIC-IPA ; e)
youth integrated transformation; e) community project planning and management; f) Louisian core values;
g) richness of indigenous Filipino culture; and h) work ethics/character and preparedness.

CREATINGINITIATIVES FOR COMPASSION AND MERCY
ONE HEART…ONE SOUL
9. Missionary service is illustrated by delivering services characterized by the virtues of simplicity –living and
being contented with basic needs only so that any extras could be reserved for future needs or could be
shared to the needy, loyalty - obeying and practicing the vision-mission and culture of an institution or
organization one is affiliated with, availability-responding to a need with one’s actual presence and
participation, Preferential option for the needy-greater compassion and prioritization of the real needy
or the most in need, Volunteerism-giving of unconditional service, Frontiership-responding to a critical
concern or issue or standing by a critical principle, Self-sacrifice and charity-“going beyond borders” to
help the “needy,” Community solidarity-living with others regardless of their differences, Relevance-
transformation with greater impact, love of the sacred-inner satisfaction and happiness in practicing
righteousness as taught by the “Supreme Divine”, Gentleness-ability to feel and think like the other
person, humility-the ability to accept and support reality at its best, Excellence-ability to pursue ideals of
humanity and godliness in our own givenness, and Inculturation – our values and visions in life are
embodied in our culture which is a gift from God and from our ingenuity
10.Transformative service is illustrated by delivering relevant or much needed assistance through one’s
competent capabilities, creativity and resourcefulness. It is helping ensure that a society recognizes
respects and readily provides opportunities and capabilities for every person to be significant, functional, or
self-reliant in the society. Transformative service is promoting an inclusive society.
11.NSTP recognizes college students to be growing more mature. SLU-NSTP, by virtue of the University’s
mission and its motto of “wisdom builds” is orienting SLU NSTP students to excel and be creative in their
respective courses or specialization and use such to help transform communities during community service
and even when employed later on, guided by Christian principles. NSTP also requires a growing level of
technical competency or specialization, and maturity. “One cannot give what one does not have.” Else, one
can best serve with what one already has (knowledge, attitude, skills, or other personal resources). With the
varied courses and apostolates of students, Community Service Involvement (CSI) can help address the
integrated concerns of a community.
12.Community Immersion as part of community service involvement is required for NSTP 1 students which
eight hours is given to them to experience the different NSTP 2 apostolate projects, immerse them to the
different activities or real life situation in the communities that encourage them to do civic works
particularly those that relate the dimensions on education, health, entrepreneurship, environment, safety
and disaster management, sports and recreation, morals of citizenry, and other social welfare concerns and
other related to the field of specialization of the students. This is a means for NSTP students to value the
critical role they play in nation building as they begin to have a deepened sense of awareness and
involvement in the community.
13.NSTP training is providing the NSTP student the exposure to be an independent missionary worker: to
explore, discover and maximize his creativity under minimum but substantial supervision and working
under pressure while personally observing command of activity success and safety.
14.NSTP provides experience to the NSTP student to prepare himself for the world of work or employment after
graduation. Employment and work are highly competitive. Work applicants should display capabilities for
minimum supervision, self-reliance, working under pressure, multiple capabilities for multi-tasking, mature,
teamwork, personality, attitude, etc…
15.Community Service Involvement (CSI) also builds a community where all people, regardless of differences,
can live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved quality of
life for all.
16.CSI prioritizes sectors or dimensions of utmost need or attention (lost, powerless, poor, excluded, etc.), off-
campus or on-campus.
17.CSI incorporates value transformation in well-off communities for them to appreciate and pursue the
concern of reaching out to the needy communities.
18.CSI engages community participation and teamwork. Every community member or a worker has great
potentials and capabilities. When given the chance, everyone becomes significant in the community.
19.People who want development to happen should strive for it; because development is not offered on a silver
platter. Partner communities should always “share a counterpart;” they are always capable in one way or
another.
20.CSI is integrated and not piecemeal. It targets the various and holistic conditions of persons in the
community: physiological, intellectual, socio-cultural, technological, spiritual, and psycho-emotional, among
others.
21.CSI is immersing one’s self with the community. Go to the people and live among them. Community
service providers cannot significantly help a community if they just stay and work within their offices.
Service providers must integrate themselves to genuinely feel and respond to community concerns.
22.Start with and build on what the people have and know: CSI is beginning with the indigenous resources,
technologies and structures that a community has. Being an innovator is advantageous as long as one’s
action conforms to what the community believes in and does, and which does not adversely affect their
physical environment and rich culture.
23.CSI is not merely a “relief” but a “release”. CSI is focused on liberating community members from their
concerns by equipping them with the capability to resolve their own concerns rather than on merely giving
“relief goods” or dole outs. CSI should also focus on resolutions that are long lasting rather than only on
short term ones. Indeed, CSI should not simply be “giving a fish to a man for he will live only for a day” but
rather, it should be “teaching a man how to fish so he can catch fish by himself and can live for lifetime. CSI
is helping persons help themselves. CSI is ensuring that others become self-reliant or self-sustaining.
Meanwhile, relief system must only be pursued in appropriate relief situations.
24.CSI requires a relevant level of technical competency or specialization, and maturity. “One cannot give
what one does not have.” Else, one can best serve with what one already has (intellectual or practical skills,
or other personal resources). Hence, it is expected that students should develop knowledge, skills,
capabilities, and attitude responsive to specific needs
25.However, CSI is limited by the feasibility of an activity, the capability of the participants, or logistics.
Participants should undergo capability retooling if needed.
26.CSI is establishing a working rapport with the concerned partners and clients.
II – GENERAL GUIDELINES:
1. All Filipino citizen students (singular or dual citizenship) who are graduating in SLU are required to enroll,
practice, and finish their NSTP in SLU.
2. Cross-enrollment of NSTP to other schools is restricted. Louisians should enroll it in the university since it
has a special leaning on the Louisian way of life. Cross enrollment is allowed only if NSTP is not offered in
the University. There should be no reason that SLU students cannot enroll NSTP in the University since the
NSTP is scheduled in the students’ respective curriculum which means that the NSTP just like the academic
subjects in the curriculum are scheduled to be enrolled in due time. Meanwhile, completion of NSTP in other
schools is allowed only in the case of transferees who finished such before transferring to SLU.
3. Cross enrollees from other schools taking their NSTP in SLU are required to follow the NSTP as programmed
in the University.
4. NSTP 1 and NSTP 2 cannot be enrolled at the same time in a given term, even in the same or different
school, except in the case of a crash course. If a student, for whatever reason, has enrolled and completed
NSTP 2 before NSTP 1, the NSTP 2 that is enrolled and completed is invalidated and the student shall be
required to take NSTP 1 and to re-take NSTP 2 after completing and passing NSTP 1.
5. The schedule of enrollment and finishing of NSTP depends on the course one is enrolled in. Please check
with your school the semester, term or year level you can enroll NSTP 1 or NSTP 2. Generally, however, all
students should finish their NSTP 1 during their freshman year and their NSTP 2 anytime thereafter.
6. As part of the enrollment process of the NSTP, students are required to further properly
submit/accomplish/fill up the following:
a. form 1
b. ID pictures (1 piece, 2”X2” in size, should be recent and with white-colored background). These pictures
will be pasted in the NSTP form 1 of the student.
c. Submit group filing expandable envelope: see required format and color coding with the instructor.
d. Secure, read and master the Manual of Procedures and Guidelines (MOPG) of NSTP 1.
e. Enlistment in a training group of the class the student belongs
f. Verification of names in the enrollment list/portal during the first day of classes. Check that you are
enrolled in a class code of NSTP that is not dissolved.
g. 1 long folder (see required sample)
h. Secure and start accomplishing your SLU-NSTP journal every NSTP class or activity beginning the first day
of classes: keep your entries in full details. Specify the date, time, place, agenda, business taken,
activities or topics undertaken or discussed, etc… ALWAYS BRING ALONG YOUR JOURNAL DURING NSTP
CLASS OR ACTIVITY. NO JOURNAL, NO ATTENDANCE/ CONSULTATION.
i. Journal specifications: (a) composition notebook– at least 90 leaves; (b) non-spiral (c) color coded
j. Be ready to submit specimen of the ID (with picture, signature and address) of your guardians while
studying in the University. You will submit this together whenever you will be asked to accomplish and
submit a waiver and other related papers. Your guardian must be either or both of your parents. But
either or both of your parents must be accessible or staying with you in your residence while studying so
that should you need their original signatures (not photocopied) immediately, you will be able to secure
such immediately. Photocopy at least two IDs of either parents or both. At least one of the IDs should be
a government issued ID (ex. Voters ID, SSS, GSIS, license, etc). The other ID may be private issued or
government issued just the same. The IDs should be photocopied on one long bond paper. Beside the
Photocopied IDs, the concerned parent should again attach original signature to match the Photocopied
signature on the ID. In the event that your parents are not accessible or are not staying with you in your
residence while studying in the University, inquire from your parent should they rather authorize you or
give you full responsibility of yourself in the NSTP throughout the term. Otherwise, your parent should
authorize other persons to act as your guardian in their absence. In these instances where your parents
will authorize you or another person as your guardian, follow these requirements: secure from the NSTP
Office a special authorization form that your parents are authorizing or giving you full responsibility of
yourself, or another person to act as your guardian. Your parents will accomplish the form properly and
submit it back attaching to it their Photocopied ID as your parents and the Photocopied ID of your
authorized guardian with the ID specimen specifications specified above. In the absence of the parent to
serve or to authorize a guardian for the said student, the immediate family member (grandparent,
brothers or sisters of either the mother or the father, or sibling who is at least 21 years old) of the student
may be considered as alternative. This requirement is needed to ensure the proper accomplishing of
activity papers needing signatures and authorization of parents or guardians. Students should have their
own copies of their respective specimen (ID, signature and authorization) in their own personal file.
Whenever they submit documents bearing the signature of their guardian (waivers, letters, etc) they must
photocopy such specimen and attach it to the said document. (NOTE: no parent signature specimen
means NSTP activity participated in will be invalidated)
k. Blood Type Certification: secure form or format from the NSTP Office.
l. Secure your official NSTP Uniform (NSTP T-shirt): Your required NSTP 1 uniform is the white NSTP t-shirt.
For specific details on your Uniform, please secure or read our guidelines on NSTP Uniform from the NSTP
Office. Read and understand first the guidelines on NSTP Uniform before acquiring and using one. Any
acquired Uniform and using of Uniform that did not comply with said guidelines on NSTP Uniform will be
invalidated and not honored. Uniforms are available at the University Bookstore.
m. Prepare and always bring along emergency/first aid kit
7. In support to the NSTP apostolate on Voters and Election Education and Responsible Participation, NSTP
students of voting age (18 y/o and above) are encouraged to submit photocopy of voters ID NO MORE
VOTERS ID (show original copy for verification), registration/voting certificate or any proof of COMELEC
registration for merit, remedial or additional hours purposes. To ensure a responsible exercise in governing
our country, we register, we vote, and we vote responsibly. Be referred to your respective supervising
instructor for the deadline of submission.
8. Required to vote in the SLU SSC-KASAMA Election: see your NSTP Instructor for the details of this
requirement as this is only applicable every first semester terms.
9. Listen to, understand, and follow training and clerical instructions. As a training activity, students should be
guided by instructions. Whenever you perform a particular activity, always secure and follow specific
instructions. But students should follow instructions only with the expressed authority of the assigned
instructor or the substitute instructor in the absence of the assigned instructor as also authorized by the
NSTP Office. Students should not just get instructions from the staff unless instructors concerned have
given written instruction or authority to the said staff. NSTP training follows appropriate procedures,
guidelines and format.
10. As per the RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001 and its IRR, a student should complete an attendance of not
less than 54 hours but not more than 90 hours in the enrolled NSTP training for the current term. To
comprehensively cover the training contents prescribed by the law and the various related memoranda
from the Commission on Higher Education, SLU-NSTP students are required to complete the maximum 90-
hour training requirements. Attendance is included as a grade coverage. Indeed, a student who does not
complete the exact total hours determined and specified by the NSTP Office shall be solely accountable for
the implication of not having completed such exact total hours since this will affect his/her grade on
attendance, outputs and other related grading areas (please see grading system below). Should a student
with absences opt to beat the exact total hours that should be completed in the class; provided that the
student’s absences are excused, then the student must, on his/her own initiative and immediately, apply for
applicable remedial. However, the grade bearing of the accomplished remedial therein is case to case. The
remedial will only add points to the grade or score for attendance and not necessarily on the missed
outputs. Herein, discretion of the NSTP Office prevails on how to score or grade such remedial to ensure the
grading system of the NSTP is not unreasonably compromised. Students with excused absences as per
OSA’s assessment are not required special graded activity to offset any missed graded activity during such
excused absence(s). Instead, any missed graded activity is computed ratio and proportion. However, if
what was missed out in an excused absence is a major examination or requirement as per the discretion of
the NSTP Office, the concerned student is required to process and undergo a special examination or similar
requirement. Meanwhile, only the time spent in the APPROVED schedules and activities are counted in the
said hours-requirement. Also, only hours spent for PROGRESSING activities are counted in the said hours-
requirement. Hours spent with unreasonably repetitive activities that do not show progress therein are not
included. Should there be a need to repeat a particular activity as part of the lesson for another time or
schedule; this should be APPROVED FIRST by the SI and/or NSTP Coordinator. For instance, a series of
meetings which always has the same unreasonable repetitive agenda will not be counted with multiple
hours. This means that if meetings have taken many hours with an agenda which can reasonably be done
in an hour, such will be counted one hour duration only. Meanwhile, an activity that was done with
outstandingly but consuming limited number of hours may also be credited additional number of hours as
deemed by the supervising instructor and the NSTP Office. For instance, an activity that was done in just an
hour but having an outstanding output that is commensurate three hours may be given additional two
hours credit over the one hour time actually spent for the said outstanding activity.
11. Waiting time for walk-in consultation with the coordinator or with the SI is not included in the 54 to 90-hour
requirement. Approved or agreed consultation time if not attended by the SI or NSTP coordinator will still
be credited to the number of hour’s completion only of those who were present/who reported for the
supposed activity or schedule provided that attendance reports are immediately accomplished and
submitted immediately to the instructor. During such consultation, you are required to bring along your
journal or IRR (individual report record).
12. We are holding some conferences and activities on some Sunday schedules in order to complete the
required training hours and modular training lessons of 54 to 90 hours. NSTP during the time of the ROTC
before is normally offered Sundays on whole day basis. Other schools have adopted the Sunday-whole day
NSTP schedule. In our University, we have adopted a schedule scheme which spread our training program
to weekdays and Sundays. Some NSTP activities are held weekdays, some other activities are held Sundays
which are normally not whole day and which are minimal in frequency. This is to free us from all whole day-
Sunday schedules to give way for our other Sunday priorities. Having some Sunday schedules would
definitely help us complete and do not compromise some important coverage of the training program which
we cannot complete just by weekday classes. Also, the Sunday schedule would help all of us not to be
disturbed in our other academic classes during the weekdays were we to hold the forum by then . Hence,
please schedule your other Sunday priorities on affected Sundays to time schedules not covered by the
forum time. This strategizing definitely is an opportunity for us to develop our creativity skills in managing
our concerns, a skill that is tremendously needed in the world of work. Our Sunday forum topics and
activities, besides being part of the required training program, are avenues of celebrating the Lord’s holy
day. The topics and activities are helping us enrich ourselves to be the Lord’s well-equipped co-stewards of
his creation as our activities are orienting us towards committing ourselves as the Lord’s “missionary”
agents of protecting and promoting the rest of creation. Hence, it is expected that, likewise, we give our
best and holy participation in the said forum. Herein, it is therefore considered that what prevails as priority
in the schedules of NSTP 1 students during such Sundays is their NSTP 1 activity. Attendance therein is also
graded accordingly. In extreme cases where excuses are merited for such Sunday absences, students
concerned must see and secure approval to be absent from the NSTP Coordinator in advance. Take note,
however, that in case absences are excused, concerned students are still required to accomplish certain
requirements or remedial which also includes those which were missed out during the said absence.
13. Absences, tardiness, or early dismissal are considered deficiencies. Excused absences, tardiness or early
dismissal are given chances for remedial without demerit to offset deficiency in the number of hour-
requirement if so preferred by the concerned student. But take note that deficiency in attendance will mean
minus points in the grade percentage for attendance (see grading system below). Unexcused absences,
tardiness or early dismissal are not given chances for remedial and to be made part of the grade (See
grading system below for the scoring of attendance). Missed graded activities during such unexcused
absences, tardiness and early dismissal are considered zero score point. Indeed, absences, tardiness, and
early dismissal are strictly discouraged as these affect your number of hours performance in the NSTP.
Students who need remedial for their excused absences, tardiness or early dismissal shall report to the
NSTP Office and apply for remedial following approved remedial procedures and activities. Remedial
activities shall require parent/guardian’s consent/waiver. For remedial, follow up with your instructor when
you can apply for your remedial.
14. For students who incurred excused absences, tardiness and early dismissal, secure immediately your
excuse slip from OSA and submit a photocopy of your slip and excuse letter to your NSTP instructor
immediately the class day following your absence. Overdue submission of such excuse slip and other
pertinent required papers for such excused absence automatically forfeits the excused status of such
absence and eventually treats such absence as unexcused and thereby be graded or scored accordingly.
15. However, completing the said hours specified by the NSTP Office is not the sole guarantee that a student
will automatically pass the enrolled NSTP. The student should be passing in the requirements specified in
the grading system as listed subsequently. If therein a student is failing in spite of completing the specified
number of hours, a student may still be given a failing grade.
16. For remedial, follow up with your instructor when can you apply for your remedial. See and follow approved
procedures and guidelines for remedial applicable for the current term.
17. Students who were absent, or who missed an attendance or activity, are personally responsible in
compensating on whatever were missed out. Any absence excused or not, will not automatically excuse a
student from any instruction or assignment missed due to such absence. Any absent student is still
required to comply with assignments or responsibilities that are supposed to be accomplished and prepared
for the next meeting. Be strongly advised to keep in touch with your class mates to know any assignments
given.
18. The OSA policy on classroom attendance, tardiness and dropping of class card shall apply. The 15 and
more-minute tardiness equals an absence applies during the training regardless of how long the training
meeting is. Moreover, absences are counted per hour. As such for instance, a student who is considered
absent in a 3-hour long continuous activity has incurred three absences.
19. The student is likewise responsible in monitoring whether or not his/her name in the portal is dropped or for
clearance. The student is further responsible in his/her clearance and follow up immediately to the training
instructor. Take note of the NO CLEARANCE, NO ENTRY policy. Students attending classes but whose
names appear in the portal for clearance shall still be CONSIDERED ABSENT and will not be given credit in
any activity participated in. Students are also responsible in monitoring their attendance record to be
updated on any tardiness, absences, early dismissal and when name appears on portal for clearance or
dropped as the case may be.
20. Always monitor and ensure the recording of your attendance. Aside from other attendance records and
checking being prepared and done, each member in the group when accomplishing his/her journal should
also list down the names/attendance of co-members who are present during a particular meeting or activity
and have the said present members sign their names in each one’s journal. Do not sign your name in a
journal of a group mate who is absent during the said activity.
21. The entire class is subdivided into thirteen small groups. Each group should choose a leader to represent
and facilitate the group. Just as the leader is accountable of the group members, group members are also
accountable of the leader. This means that the performance of the group is the performance of the leader
and the performance of the leader is the performance of the group. Problems that shall arise therein should
be referred immediately to the training instructor for appropriate attention.
22. During group activities, the leader is expected to ensure the attendance or participation of all members. But
equally, members are responsible in keeping in touch with the leader and with the other members
regarding activities and meetings. No leader or member of the group should just be passive waiting only
for instruction from the group. Everyone in the group should be responsible in ensuring personal attendance
and active participation.
23. At the outset, an NSTP student should be trained to be more careful, disciplined or diligent enough in
handling oneself and responsibilities so as not to incur accountability. This will also prepare the student in
the very competitive world of work today to practice his/her best diligence and discipline in handling
responsibilities productively minimizing or avoiding unreasonable accountability. Best work espouses
discipline and diligence. To be productive in the workplace, one has to be disciplined and diligent
24. Students are required to comply and complete given assignments, requirements, or activities within a given
deadline. Late submissions or compliance are given sanctions. Failure to submit or comply with such will
cause a student an INC grade.
25. Process your CLEARANCE at the end of the term (see SI for Instruction): PERSONAL CLEARANCE FROM THE
SUPERVISING INSTRUCTOR
a. Supervising Instructor’s Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation. Secure
instruction from your assigned SI for the procedure.
b. NSTP Office Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation.
c. INC’s incurred due to failure to process clearance as instructed are given additional remedial
requirements.
d. Students who fail to process their clearance or completion of remedial on time will be graded accordingly,
passed or failed (please see grading system). Where a student who failed to process such clearance has
standing accountability, the student will be given an INC grade. Students once given an INC can only
process their completion and clearances during the one month grace period in processing INC’s as printed
in the pink grade copy of the student; provided, the student will apply for completion and clearance
immediately at the NSTP Office during the enrollment period of the immediate term following
subsequently. Or immediately upon the official release of the grade, concerned students must report to
the NSTP Office. This is to ensure more time to process completion requirements that apply to a specific
INC case. Students applying for completion during the later period of the one month grace period where
time is insufficient to process the completion requirements are held liable if such time left will not merit
sufficient time to complete the INC and will instead make the INC a permanent mark or the student be
given a failing grade which ever applies. Meanwhile, students concerned should secure from the NSTP
Office the procedure of processing completion and follow such. Not following the procedure of completion
of INC’s as given by the NSTP Office will automatically invalidate and cancel any remedial or completion
activity undertaken; concerned student is still considered having not accomplished any remedial or
completion at all and will make any given NSTP grade permanent.
e. The student is responsible in processing his/her remedial, clearance or completion at the NSTP Office
following the existing procedure and remedial choices being followed for the term as prepared and
approved by the NSTP Office.
f. Process personally your clearance, remedial or completion. Other persons are not allowed to process for
the student concerned. It is neither the responsibility of the teachers nor the NSTP Office to be running
after or processing application for clearances, remedial or completion for students. If there is an extreme
need for such, discretion of the NSTP Office prevails.
g. Students enrolled in the NSTP must immediately check their NSTP grade upon the release of grades for
the concerned term by the University registrar. This is to ensure that should there be correction in any
given NSTP grade, or should a student need to process any INC or NFE NSTP grade, concerned students
are able to process or accomplish such during the one month completion period set by the University. In
the event that that concerned students failed to check right away their grades as soon as released by the
University registrar for the concerned term and any needed correction of NSTP grade or processing of
INC/NFE NSTP is not accomplished during the said completion period set by the University, such correction
of grade and processing of INC is not anymore allowed or accommodated. Whatever NSTP grade given
remains permanent and concerned students must re-enroll the subject should their grade be failed or
INC/NFE.
h. Meanwhile, be reminded that processing an incomplete does not automatically mean a passing grade.
Any submitted or completed requirements or examination is still subject to usual evaluation and grading
procedures. A passing grade is given if merited; otherwise, the grade is failed.
25.NSTP students are expected to strictly observe and practice the SLU Code of Discipline (Student Manual)
during their NSTP in and out of the campus.
26.Observe other required additional dress code during training or apostolate. Aside from those specified in the
SLU student manual, all NSTP students, male and female, are not allowed to wear the following during NSTP
training and activities: heavy cosmetics, jewelries, unnatural hair die, improper haircut / hairstyle and
others as instructed. Other dress code requirement specific to certain training activities are also strictly
followed.
27.SLU-NSTP aims to train students to be self-reliant and become independently responsible. College students
should prepare themselves for their employment work where ultimately only themselves are responsible in
accomplishing their job; no work place or employment has so far allowed parents or guardians or other
persons to still “cuddle” their children or perform the tasks of their children in their children’s workplace.
Hence, NSTP students should accomplish or process requirements or activities strictly by themselves.
Parents, guardians or anyone except the concerned student himself/herself are NOT ALLOWED to
accomplish, be involved or process said requirements or activities in behalf of a student. In case, parents or
any other person, if allowed or consented by the concerned student, will follow up the standing or
performance of said student, it is the discretion of the NSTP Office how to accommodate said parent/person.
It is the procedure of the office, however, that concerns as such be exhaustively settled first between the
student concerned and said parent/person and only after said student has first settled or processed
properly and exhaustively any responsibility or requirements with the NSTP Office himself/herself, will the
NSTP Office attend to said parents or guardians. Parents or guardians are kindly enjoined to follow the
above procedure and guidelines and guide their child to do the same.
28.Meanwhile, any student who has concern about his NSTP should settle things first with his/her supervising
instructor before seeing the NSTP Coordinator or other higher authorities in the University. Also, should
there still be concerns of students and/or their parents or guardians regarding the NSTP of said students,
such concern should be put in proper writing and address to the NSTP Coordinator or the Director of the
CEOPO and the Dean of STELA for proper attention. NSTP concerns or grievances if any should be processed
following applicable procedures and guidelines set by the University. Such written letter should properly be
signed by the concerned. Such concerns must also be processed personally. The Office never entertains
texting, phone in or emails and other electronic communications especially that the identity of the other
party cannot just be determined. Also, only authorized guardians or parents with valid identification are
entertained for the above and related purposes.
29.Hence, concern students, parents or guardians will be asked to follow the above procedure and guideline.
As a general rule also, unsigned letters are not entertained and concerns only specified in the letter shall be
entertained.
30.Learn to trouble shoot your concerns in the NSTP. This is to train you to be creative. If you are
encountering any problem, constraint or concern in your NSTP, exhaust analysis and understanding of said
concern. Then come up with your proposed remedies or solutions and present them to your Supervising
Instructor and the NSTP coordinator for approval before implementing your proposal. Never report to your
Supervising Instructor and the NSTP Coordinator without having, as best as you could, the details of your
concern and proposed remedies. How best you prepare the following are also part of your grading. NO
POSTING IN SOCIAL MEDIA. BASIC COURTESY, ORIENTATION ON THE DIFFERENT OFFICES AND HEADS
31.In formulating and implementing your activities, unless otherwise specified, always plan first as best as you
could then present your plans to your Supervising Instructor or the NSTP coordinator for improvement if
needed then for approval if merited before final implementation is done.
32.Never ever implement something that was not presented to and approved by your Supervising Instructor
and the NSTP Coordinator.
33.When deadlines previously set are declared “no class” days, such deadlines are automatically moved to the
next class day.
34.No tagging along or bringing along unauthorized persons during NSTP activities.
35.No going out during classroom training or no loitering during community exposure without the permission of
the training instructor.
36.Be mindful of your manners and decorum when you are in your activity areas or when you are processing
things with other offices or persons. Know the people in the area and always accord them appropriate
respect and recognition.
37.NSTP students are required to be familiar and to observe campus and community safety and emergency
guidelines. Wherever activity are held or participated in, always find out and observe emergency provisions
specific therein.
38.Students enrolled in the NSTP are required to actively support all NSTP apostolates or activity, on or off
campus.
39.Using of cellular phones while training is going on is restricted. Permission of the trainer is necessary.
40.Be reminded that you are automatically covered by insurance, which you paid during your first semester
enrollment. Please verify, however, if this payment is reflected in your accounts. In case of accident during
the training, please coordinate immediately with your training instructor.
41.Secure and always be guided also of the training calendar for the term.
42.Using the training calendar as your guide or the class record student copy, monitor and keep a record of
your class standing to know how you are performing throughout the training.
43.Be guided by additional instruction given by your training instructor or the NSTP Office.
44.Please see or call the NSTP Coordinator (0920-529-1972)or your NSTP instructor for clarifications regarding
the NSTP of the University
III. The NSTP CWTS 1 GRADING SYSTEM:

1. The honor grading system is adopted as part of the NSTP grading system. This is the earning of merits and
demerits throughout the training (see item below on merits and demerits). As part of the training, the
honor system re-orients students to demonstrate a sense of accountability as an integral component of
responsible service. However students perform throughout the training, they are oriented to face the
consequence of their actions as either merits or demerits.
2. The grading system is using a specific computation formula to compute for the raw scores of class standing
and attendance. Students are graded based on their actual effort and output. Again students are supposed
to
3. Develop a commendable work ethics or standard which is needed in the actual workplace.

D. Discipline 10 %
E. Total Attendance 15% by formula (54 to 90 hours). 15 %
Total: 100%
FINAL GRADE:
100 %
NOTE: The grading system is using the formula below to compute for the percentage of total raw scores earn
per term. Final grade that appears in the grade portal of students will be given only in the finals. Students are
updated of their accumulated percentage per term based on the above percentile distribution.
Formula for computation:
TOTAL RAW SCORE X PERCENTAGE
