duly accomplished dropping slip before the scheduled deadline for dropping. A student who
DROPPING

the last day of classes will be given a grade of 5.0. (refer to student handbook)
Any late submission of/missed quizzes, homework and activities will have a grade of zero.

death of family members up to the second degree of consanguinity, confinement due to a
MISSED MAJOR EXAMINATIONS
serious medical condition (certified by a doctor who is not related to the student), or
MISSED ACTIVITIES
representing the college/ university in competitions. It is the student’s duty to establish the
veracity of the excuse. This should be coordinated with the instructor as soon as possible/in
the meeting following the exam. Only one examination may be excused in this manner.
Special Exam/Missed Major Exam
Revision 00-08132021 12 | P a g e
Zambales
If you have missed faculty-conducted exam due to illness or misadventure, you may apply
for an alternative exam. (refer to student handbook)
Special Circumstances/Special Needs

Students with disability or ongoing illness can make arrangements with the
professor/instructor regarding the different assessment tasks (e.g. projects, exam, quiz) to
minimize or eliminate the impact of his/her disability. However, meeting the learning
objectives of the subject must be observable. The arrangements will involve modifications of
the assessment tasks (e.g. performance task) but maintain academic standards. (refer to RA
7227)
Special Consideration/Missed Activities

Special consideration consists of the exercise of academic discretion to provide equitable
treatment to students whose performance in an assessment item is affected by illness,
accident or work-related circumstances and for single parent (as per RA 8972/Solo Parent
Act).
You should only apply for special consideration when your performance in an assessment
item, including examinations, has been affected by extenuating or special circumstances
beyond your control. Special consideration is not automatically guaranteed and may not result
in a mark adjustment. (faculty discretion)
For students involved in religious, sports and cultural activities (athletes, performing artist)
will also be given considerations, only if they present the program of activity and excuse letter
from their respective pastor or coaches. (refer to student manual/memo from OUP)
It is expected that the student follows the highest principles of academic honesty. Any form
of work that will be submitted should be their own or should have the work of others clearly
documented and acknowledged. All students must be committed to the principles of
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY intellectual honesty and integrity. Once found responsible of an academic dishonesty violation
(cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, sabotage, participation in academically dishonest activities,
facilitating academic dishonesty, etc), a student will be subjected to the University's rules and
regulations which may result to a failing mark and expulsion from the university.
Revision 00-08132021 13 | P a g e
Zambales
Cheating in quizzes, homework, and exams, as well as academic dishonesty in general, will
not and never be tolerated. Any attempt at cheating in any requirement will entail the student
an automatic grade of 5.00, and the case will be forwarded to the Student Disciplinary Council
(SDC). Course withdrawals to avoid getting a grade of 5.0 in these cases will not be permitted.
(refer to Student Handbook)
Due to this pandemic face to face consultation is not encouraged. To ensure the instructor’s
availability, schedule an appointment with the instructor. Consultation via e-mail is
encouraged as well. Please state your question as completely as possible. Consultation
CONSULTATION
through phone will only be entertained if the student introduces himself/herself and follows
courteous language. (refer to faculty manual/individual faculty teaching load)
If you are a student with special needs and require accommodations, you must be registered
with the University’s Guidance and Counseling Office (GCO). Students must provide current
documentation to GCO which identifies their special needs and need for accommodation(s).
Students must meet instructors with appropriate notification from GCO of the approved
SPECIAL SERVICES
accommodation as early in the semester as possible. You may learn more about the services
of the GCO by visiting its office.
Note: For other academic and student policy, please refer to the student handbook/manual.
