G. Provision for Flexibility

Academic Integrity
 All students are expected to be academically honest. Cheating, lying and other forms of unethical behavior will not be tolerated. Any student
found guilty of cheating during examinations or plagiarism in submitted course requirements will automatically be zero in the said exam or
requirement. Plagiarism refers to the use of books, notes or other intellectual property without giving proper attribution to its author, or
representing the work of another person as one’s own; cheating refers to securing help in a test, copying tests, assignments, reports or term
papers, collaborating with other students during an examination or in preparing academic work, signing another student’s name on an
attendance sheet, or otherwise practicing scholastic dishonesty.

Class Attendance
 The students are expected to come to class regularly and they are expected to come on time. A student who incurs 3 consecutive unexcused
absences will be advised to visit the guidance office for a counselling session and will be asked for a re-entry slip before being allowed to
enter the class again. On the other hand, a student who has accumulated 7 absences will be automatically dropped from the roll.
 Due to illness or some other valid reasons, students may be excused from the class provided that there is an excuse letter duly signed by the
parent/s or guardian. As soon as the student returns after being absent, he must ask for a special quiz from the teacher. For students who can
present a medical certificate and those who have been sent by the university to competition or other events (reason for the absence) may take a
 Doc. Code: SLSU-QF-IN01-B
