Class Policies
1. Attendance will be checked. As per university rule, a student who missed more than 12 hours of class meetings will be
advised to drop the course or risk of obtaining a grade of 5.00.
2. A student can be excused for only one (1) long exam. A valid excuse includes death in the immediate family, or illness.
The student should present an excuse letter, duly signed by his/her parent or guardian or a medical certificate issued
by the PUP Health Service, to his/her instructor on the first class meeting he/she is able to come back.
3. A student who missed a long exam due to valid reasons, as stated, should take the make-up exam. There is no
make-up exam for the final exam. A student who missed an exam (long exam/final exam) without a valid excuse will
automatically get zero for that exam.
4. University rules apply for cheating. Any form of cheating in examinations or any act of dishonesty in relation to studies,
such as plagiarism, shall be subject to disciplinary action.
5. Observe courtesy during exams and class hours. This is to promote smooth flow of activities during exams and class
discussions. Moreover, you may eat during class discussions and exams provided that distractions will not exist because
of doing so.
