ME S S AG E

Dear Freshmen, Welcome to Far Eastern University! Congratulations on your choice of school for pursuing your undergraduate degree. If you are a serious student with big dreams, then you have certainly made the right decision. As you will see once classes start and throughout your college years, FEU cares about you and about how you develop as a person, much as your family does. We want your college experience to be transformative, such that it primes you for success in life. Indeed, this is why FEU persistently invests in upgrading its facilities—it is to foster a school environment conducive to your learning—and constantly explores innovative student-centered teaching methods—it is to make your learning easier and more effective. Moreover, through its industry-responsive and outcomes-based curriculums, FEU aims to transform you into becoming a college graduate who can compete with your peers in the world of work both domestically and abroad; a graduate who has integrity, is capable and hard-working, and is a good communicator with critical thinking skills—in other words, a graduate who is empowered to embark on a rewarding career trajectory and to live a meaningful life. The problem, though, is that education is an experience good, that is, it is a good or service whose quality is not known at the outset. Consider a movie, which is also an experience good. When a moviegoer buys a ticket, she cannot know at that point whether she will like the movie or not. This is why with experience goods, potential consumers rely on word of mouth or expert reviews. And this is why high-school graduates go by the testimonials of school alumni that they know or seals of accreditation like the autonomous university status, which FEU has attained. Still, the individual student cannot know how he or she personally will be affected by his or her college experience. A confounding attribute of an experience good is that how it affects a consumer ultimately depends on the consumer’s engagement with it. Thus, the impact of a movie depends on how attentively one watches it and how receptive one is to the movie’s premises, perspectives, and narratives. So it is with higher education: the more you engage FEU’s curricular and extracurricular offerings, the more transformative and life-changing your college experience is likely to be. As our founder Nicanor Reyes Sr. once said, “All that we can do to help you is only half the process of training you. In the long run, the most important factor in your … education will be how hard you yourselves work for that education.” So my advices to you are the following: Be conscientious with your studies first and foremost. Consult your professors on a regular basis. But also take advantage of the other offerings in FEU: The many student-development activities available provide opportunities for socializing, forming lifelong friendships, and developing your leadership skills. Educate your tastes by watching the shows of the President’s Committee on Culture. It will broaden your world view. Navigate your developmental journey in FEU and thereafter by our core values of fortitude, excellence, and uprightness. You will be the best of men and women for doing so. Good luck in your studies! I look forward to awarding you your degree in due time (hopefully achieved with Latin honors and leadership awards, such as being one of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines). Again, welcome to FEU! Sincerely yours, Michael M. Alba, PhD President FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

ENJOYING AND COPING WITH CAMPUS LIFE

Adaptation and transition to the college environment will always have a quaint feeling. The process may even cause home-sickness or seclusion. For the new Tamaraw, try these tips to make your campus life more enjoyable. 1. Win a friend. Finding true friends in college takes a while. Don’t worry if you have not made a lot of friends on your first day or first week. A good start is to get along with group mates or seatmates. After all, true friendship requires time and effort of being together until emotional and socio-psychological rapport is developed. 2. Love and take care of yourself by having a balanced and healthy lifestyle. College life involves volumes of paper work and due dates. Life can be stressful. If you want to reach the finish line of college, don’t just do binge eating. Eat healthy food; do regular physical exercises, and get plenty of sleep. How can you juggle all these? Have a clear timeline of things to accomplish. Post the schedule in your room and be reminded: Do the tasks now. 3. Be open-minded and always have a positive mindset. FEU is a diverse community of learners. Freedom of expression is highly valued. Intellectual growth and “cultural literacy” depend on your openness to new ideas and practices. Engage. Each tidbit of information or story is an enriching experience even if these negate what you know and believe in. 4. Have self-discipline.  College may serve as your space to explore newer experiences as you approach adulthood. Sometimes, learn to say no. Clubbing every night, for example, can affect your class performance. You might not wake up on time and miss classes. Why the rush? You will have more time to party when you graduate. For now, your ultimate goal: obtain a degree in 4 to 5 years.

17 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

5. Learn how to reframe your problems and look at the big picture. Your college professors may probably assign tons of requirements. You may start to question, for example, the function of College Algebra in your degree. Math teaches accuracy and critical thinking. What’s the bigger picture? You are trained not just to learn concepts and skills. You are trained to become tougher because outside the walls of FEU is a tough world. 6. Pray hard and have strong faith in the Divine Being. If college pressures are too much to handle, reconnect with the Divine Being. Reflect on your life’s purpose so you can productively channel your energies to this purpose. The hardship is a birthing pain for a bright future. You can do it. You should do it because a university degree is worth it.

PROACTIVELY FOLLOWING HEALTH TIPS AND ADVISORIES

A healthy body results in a healthy mind. Students, therefore, should always be on guard of their health. The following health advisories adopted from the World Health Organization will help you.

FOOD SAFETY Food from sidewalk/street vendors can make you sick. Make the smart choice; buy your meals from food establishments inside the university because these have complied with a series of sanitation requirements. The assurance that the food will not cause harm to the consumers when it is prepared and/or eaten is called food safety. Infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites and non-infectious toxins from animals and plants may thrive in food that is prepared unhealthily. Here are your guideposts when buying your meal: 1. Has the vendor cleaned the food stall and its surrounding areas? Has the vendor covered the food to prevent insects from “diving” into it? If the answers are no, find food somewhere else.

18 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

2. Does the vendor spit anywhere, blow or pick his/her nose? Don’t even have second thoughts. Go somewhere else. Take note, however, that food safety depends not just on how the vendor prepares the food. You, too, are responsible. Wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizers before eating. Don’t just drink water anywhere. Buy bottled water from reliable sources or drink from the water fountains installed in the unversity. In case of suspected foodborne illnesses, do the following: 1. Preserve the evidence. If a portion of the suspected food is available, wrap it securely and freeze it. 2. Report the incident to Student Development and/or Student Discipline or immediately proceed to Health Services to seek treatment. 3. If symptoms persist or are severe (i.e., bloody diarrhea, excessive nausea and vomiting, or high fever) immediately seek hospitalization.

HEAT STROKE Temperature in Metro Manila during summer can rise to at least 36 degree Celsius. If you are enrolled in summer or in a Physical Education class, take precautionary measures to avoid heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness when the body overheats and cannot cool down. The body cannot take off the excessive heat from the body through sweating due to: • hot and humid weather • vigorous exercise in hot weather • dehydration • too much direct exposure to the sun especially between 12 NN to 2 PM Be aware of the following signs of heat exhaustion: • warm flushed skin • faintness • dizziness • weakness • headache

19 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

If the following signs are observed, heat exhaustion has worsened to an emergency condition called heat stroke: • very high fever of 41°C • rapid heartbeat • convulsion • delirium • unconsciousness To prevent heat stroke: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Limit the amount of time spent outdoors. Drink plenty of water. Avoid tea, coffee, soda, and alcohol. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and light clothing when outdoors. Schedule strenuous activities at the beginning or end of the day when temperature is cooler.

In case a student is suffering from heat exhaustion, do the following emergency measures: 1. Move the person indoors or to a shady spot and have him/her lie down. If conscious, ask the person to sip cold water. 2. Remove thick clothing, apply cold wet towel on the skin, and use a fan to increase ventilation or to help cool the patient. 3. Put a pack of ice on the armpits, wrists, ankles, and groin. Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Bring the patient immediately to the hospital after instituting emergency measures.

RAINY DAY DISEASES With the onset of rainy season, protect yourself from the resurgence of “rainy day diseases” such as leptospirosis, dengue, acute gastroenteritis, typhoid fever, cholera and hepatitis A. Here are some tips: 1. People who cannot avoid wading in floodwaters should wear rubber boots. Leptospirosis is caused by a bacterium that enters the skin through open wounds when a person gets in with moist soil or floodwaters contaminated with rat urine. 20 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

The signs and symptoms include fever, calf-muscle pain, reddish eyes in some cases, and non-specific symptoms of muscle pain and headache. It can be fatal when the liver, kidney, and brain get affected. If you have these symptoms seek medical consultation immediately. 2. In case of flood, stay inside a house or building and avoid wading and taking a bath in floodwaters. Monitor weather reports and advisories on cancellation of classes. 3. When you are in flooded areas, be careful with what you eat or drink. As much as possible, boil drinking water for at least a minute. 4. Stay away from day-biting mosquitoes that might carry the Dengue virus. These lay eggs in clear stagnant water found in flower vases, cans, old rubber tires, etc. The adult mosquitoes rest in dark damp places in the house. Dengue fever is an acute viral disease manifested initially with fever. The signs and symptoms include: • sudden onset of high fever which may last for 2-7 days • t and muscle pain and pain behind the eyes • weakness • skin rashes or red tiny spots on the skin • nose-bleeding when fever starts to subside • abdominal pain • coffee-ground vomiting • dark-colored stool The following tips help prevent and control the Dengue mosquito: 1. Cover water drums and pails at all times to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. 2. Replace water in the flower vase once a week. 3. Clean all water containers once a week. Scrub the sides to remove mosquito eggs. 4. Clear gutters of leaves and debris so that rain water will not become a breeding ground for mosquitoes. 5. Old tires should be punctured or cut to avoid accumulation of stagnant water. 6. Collect and dispose all unusable tin cans, jars, bottles and other items that can collect water. 7. When outdoors, apply anti-mosquito lotion.

VACCINE-PREVENTABLE DISEASES Health Services offers vaccines at a discounted price to decrease the incidents of life-threatening diseases. Vaccination is the most cost-effective preventive measure instead of getting hospitalized, lose time and money. Visit the Health Services now for vaccination against: • German Measles • Mumps • Influenza • Varicella • Typhoid Fever • Pneumonia

• Measles (Rubeola) • Hepatitis B • Hepatitis A • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) • Meningococcal meningitis



AVOIDING CRIMES IN THE CITY Like most cities in the world, despite all security measures such as CCTV cameras and police visibility, threats to personal safety may happen. Each student is advised to be alert at all times.

BEING RESPONSIBLE IN SOCIAL MEDIA As a student who constantly needs to communicate with fellow classmates, using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is almost inevitable. At one click, one might forget his or her engagement with FEU and the sworn responsibility of adhering to the highest standards of Fortitude, Excellence, and Uprightness. The following guidelines may help a Tamaraw craft a responsible social media message:

1. Consider your image and your university. Whether you like it or not, the ideas you post, the pictures you show, and even your interests are somewhat related to FEU. Posting pictures of you and your friends drinking alcoholic beverages, more so while wearing the uniform, may negatively reflect on your priorities and may unnecessarily put FEU, your second home, in bad light. 2. Sometimes, it’s better NOT to comment. In the realm of social media where deviant shout-outs and posts seem to solicit more deviant comments, restraining one’s self from reacting to such posts is advised. that “whoever wins in a rat race is still a rat.” , too, that self-control is power. If your comment will not do any good, then just press the delete button. 23 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

3. Make sure your post is accurate. Your posts should be original. Don’t just claim that a picture, video, essay or any text is yours. There’s no harm in citing or acknowledging the authors. Double-check the spelling, grammar, and tone of your post. Social media is filled with critics waiting to lambaste erroneous posts. 4. Learn to say “No.” Not everything posted or shared in social media is factual. When in doubt, double-check the information by comparing it with other sources. Reject the post by not spreading the lies that may unnecessarily cause panic or misinformation. Better yet, comment that the post is untrue and attach your counter-evidence. 5. Be selective on who will see your posts. Some people use social media for stalking. To an extent, they may use your posts against you. Filter your posts accordingly so that only trusted people would see them. 6. Secure your social media s. Even friends can hack your and post nonsense on your wall. To prevent any unauthorized access, secure your with a strong and never share it with anyone, not even with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Don’t be a poser by having several s. 7. “Think before you click.” Don’t be a victim of fake news.  Don’t just share news articles in social media recklessly. Make sure you have read and checked the article’s source, the legitimacy of the online site, and the veracity of the information details.  :  Sharing fake news entails contributing to the misinformation of netizens.

ROTC FEU was the biggest contributor to the army of young soldiers during the war. These young soldiers were trained through the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Mandated by the National Defense Act of 1935, all male students had to enroll units in military education and training. Through Republic Act No. 9163, ROTC was made optional and voluntary in 2001.

UNIVERSITY EMBLEMS THE UNIVERSITY SEAL The FEU Coat of Arms consists principally of a nine-pointed golden star representing the nine main academic disciplines offered by the University. The heraldic er is sari-manok motif, in full colors, projecting the nationalistic spirit upon which the University was founded. It also serves as the link between the past and present.

THE UNIVERSITY COLORS The University colors are green and gold. Gold represents the golden opportunity for the University to serve the youth and her alumni to serve the country. Green is for hope, representing Rizal’s “Fair hope of the Fatherland.”

FEU

UNIVERSITY FONT The Dellarobia BT is the official font of FEU. In the past, FEU’s official font was inspired by the alibata and designed by Galo B. Ocampo. Alibata is an indigenous writing form of our Filipino ancestors.

THE MEMORIAL SQUARE The Dr. Nicanor Reyes Memorial Quadrangle is a Manila landmark and a favorite backdrop for picture-taking in the campus. Erected in memory of the University Founder and First President, it consists of a 65-foot flagpole on a platform surrounded on all sides with brass sculpture by National Artist Vicente Manansala which interprets the late founder’s philosophy of education.

THE TAMARAW The tamaraw, known scientifically as Bubalus mindorensis, is the mascot of every FEU athletic team and the pet name of every student. It is a rare animal found only in Mindoro, Philippines. The tamaraw’s characteristics--one of the most intelligent, pugnacious, and aggressive animals--resembles FEU’s advanced and progressive policy in contemporary education.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL The Presidential Seal is displayed in formal and official events where the University President is the host or is scheduled to address an audience. Designed by renowned Filipino artist Galo B. Ocampo, the seal mainly features the sarimanok, a mythical iconic bird identified with the Filipino people (though primarily those from Mindanao). Thus, the sarimanok projects the spirit of nationalism upon which the University is founded. Through its harmony of brilliant colors, the iconic mythical bird likewise projects the dynamic unity arising from the diversity of FEU students who come from the country’s various regions.

MEMORABILIA A Memorabilia Room, located at the third floor of the istration Building, was set up on November 5, 1984 to honor and perpetuate the memory of Dr. Nicanor Reyes, Sr. It houses a collection of mementos, artifacts, and publications which records milestones in the life of the founder, and traces the evolution of Far Eastern University through the years. It also pays tribute to the legion of men and women whose achievements lent honor to the Founder’s mission and made his dream a reality.

THE MACE The mace is the symbol of the office of the University President and is displayed in official University functions at which he presides. It consists of the University seal done in solid bronze, resting on a finely carved staff made of Philippine hardwood.

FEU POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR GRADING AND ASSESSMENT FOR INCOMING FRESHMEN AND TRANSFEREES UNDER 2018 - 2019 CURRICULA EFFECTIVE ACADEMIC YEAR 2018 - 2019 (UNDERGRADUATES) Assessment is an important and integral part of the teaching and learning process. Grading serves the purpose of rating a student’s performance. Grading, however is only part of assessment. When done properly, assessment can cue instructors on whether learning is happening and guide them on how to proceed with instruction. Good assessment holistically measures learners’ current and developing skills. In FEU, assessment is a t process that involves both teacher and learners. It is fair, transparent and is based on standards set by the FEU community and benchmarked against other top universities, local and international quality assurance organizations and various government agencies. Academic Integrity The most important measure of the FEU students’ uprightness is their respect for and adherence to academic integrity. Academic integrity is based on the idea that the work for which students are assessed and graded are a true reflection of their ideas, knowledge, and skills. When students cheat on a test or plagiarize on a paper or project the grade they get is not a true reflection of their ideas, knowledge, and or skill. Assessment then becomes inaccurate or even false. Academic integrity also includes the respect for and adherence to the conventions of the forms of academic output (e.g. documentation rules for research papers, rules in debate) regardless of how rigid and seemingly tedious they are. Students with academic integrity acknowledge ideas and information that is not their own and builds upon ideas that are their own. Students who cut and paste a paper together with incomplete or no citation do a miniscule amount of work and misrepresent themselves. The academic requirement submitted deserves a failing mark. Compare that work to the work of students who thought out the issues and problems, found various sources and cited them properly and wrote out all this themselves. In this second case, a greater effort was exerted and learning most probably occurred.

70 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

A fuller explanation of academic integrity is contained in the FEU policy on academic integrity. All FEU students are expected to adhere to this policy and failure to do so will be met with strict sanctions. Academic Professionalism of the FEU community live out the core value of fortitude by adhering to academic professionalism. In FEU, professionalism is seen as the quality connected with people who, while maintaining a good life-work balance, can separate personal issues from professional requirements and get the job done well. While it is important to be involved in extra-curricular activities, to have healthy social lives, and to address rather than avoid personal issues, academic work should not take a back seat to these. Personal and even health problems should not be a reason not to do what is required. Virtually all of the FEU community have personal or health issues and yet what determines the cream of the crop and real success is the ability to separate the personal from the professional and to accord each their own time. In the area of teaching and learning academic professionalism is manifested among students and faculty in the following ways: Students

Preparing for class, carefully reading what is required, working on papers and projects diligently, mindfully practicing skills required, doing one’s share in group work, attending class regularly and punctually, submitting requirements on time, maintaining congenial and respectful relations with of the FEU community

Faculty

Preparing for class, ensuring that topics are focused on the matters designated in the Course Information Booklet, returning assessments right away, facilitating learning through discussions, attending class regularly and punctually, submitting requirements on time, maintaining congenial and respectful relations with of the FEU community

Attendance The Manual of Regulations for Private Higher Education (MORPHE), Section 101 states that students should not be absent for more than 20% of the class periods, (“A student who incurs absence of more than twenty (20%) percent of

71 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

the prescribed number of class or laboratory periods during the school year or term shall fail and earn no credit for the course or subject…”) FEU follows this rule strictly and makes no distinction between excused and unexcused absence. Students are expected to be responsible for their learning and should use their allowable absences responsibly and judiciously. Furthermore, the counting of the number of class days begins on the first meeting. Students are expected to be present on the very first day as class discussions are expected to start then. The MORPHE rule on absences applies to all students, be they scholars, student leaders, working students, Dean’s listers, athletes, artists, and performers.  These students are expected to balance their other commitments with their studies. Students who have other commitments that conflict with a class day should inform their teachers ahead of time if they are to miss a class. In such a situation, students have a right to make-up for missed assessments.  The absence will still be recorded and the student becomes responsible for the material covered during the class missed.  Nevertheless, they are entitled to retake a missed assessment or to be given another deadline of submission of a requirement due on the day of the absence. Attendance to class is an expectation and mere attendance does not measure learning. Attendance is not given any credit in the grading process and no extra points should be given for perfect attendance. Transparency Assessment at FEU works on the premise that students are the owners and creators of their grades; faculty supply the guidelines, rubrics, and systems with which the grades are determined. Faculty act as a fair and “disinterested” judge and the students are the ones who actually determine their grades. Transparency is an important value in proper assessment and all matters pertaining to assessment, including the content of the assessment or what will be asked, should be known to the students. As such, there should be: •

•

a course outline made available to the students on the very first day of class (ideally, even before the first day of class) that indicates all the assessments that will be required; full disclosure of the type of formative and summative assessments indicated in the course outline and an explanation of the weight or

percentage of each assessment to the final grade; clear distinctions between and among formative and summative assessments and clear time gaps for when assessments are given; rubrics for evaluation of assessments that are available for students to consider and even negotiate; record of grades available to students at all times and consultation on grades throughout the term; active mechanisms for to students; student awareness of the QPA and its function as an indicator of academic achievement or underachievement.

Formative and Summative Assessments FEU places a on the students’ learning journey and the process and deepening of learning, critical and creative thinking, reflection, and problemsolving. Formative assessments (FA) are important for this as they are tools that help identify learning gaps and help shape learning. In FEU, formative assessments may be graded or ungraded and should occur throughout the semester. Formative assessments should refer to specific or smaller parts of the course. Its function is to build micro knowledges and skills that are translated in preparing for and achieving better opportunities for summative assessments. The more formative assessments, the higher the chance of learning. Summative assessments (SA) evaluate student learning, knowledge, proficiency, or success at the conclusion of an instructional period like a unit, course, or program. In FEU, summative assessments are always graded.

For Professional Courses (except review classes and OJT) 50% of the grade should be formative and 50% should be summative. For both GE courses and professional courses there should be at least twelve (12) formative assessments four (4) of which should be graded and assigned before the midterm and four (4) of which should be graded and assigned after the midterm. There should be at least one summative assessment on the 9th week and one summative assessment on the 18th week. Grade Descriptions LETTER GRADE

Grading Periods and Grade Calculations There are two grading periods every semester. The first grading period, from week one (1) to week nine (9), ends with a midterm summative assessment. The second grading period, from week ten (10) to week eighteen (18) ends with the final summative assessment. The mid-year or short term has (6) weeks with the first grading period ending on week 3. Grades are calculated based on a weighted running average. As such, the grades at the midterm might not necessarily represent 50% of the final grade.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Midterm Advisory Marks Midterm advisory marks and a midterm advisory QPA will be made available to students through the Learning Management System (LMS) on the 10th week of the semester. These marks are intended to give the students an idea of their progress but do not necessarily represent 50% of the final mark. Students who are not meeting the QPA requirements at this point will be asked to attend intervention programs organized by the Guidance and Counselling Office. Consultation on the 10th week In order to ensure that is given to students, instruction will be put on hold during the first three days of the tenth week of classes. Instructors are expected to meet all their classes but they are also expected to spend class time providing to students through face-to-face meetings. They are expected, in particular, to focus on students who are falling behind. This period will be known as consultation week and Program Heads will be expected to report on the progress of the consultations of faculty with their students. ing Mark The ing mark for all university courses regardless of program is 50%. The ing mark is a representation of acceptable levels of achievement. A high ing mark does not ensure quality learning. Quality learning is ensured by sound assessment that measures higher-order thinking skills. A ing mark can be fixed at a high percentage, for example 75%, but if what is tested is only rote knowledge, the grade will not be an indicator of a student’s ability to think critically and express themselves accurately. Although the DepEd and many universities have adopted the ing mark of 75%, many other universities both here and around the world determine their own marking criteria. At University College London (UCL), for example a grade of A is equal to 70-74% and is characterized as manifesting “exceptional thoroughness and clarity…clarity and rigour of argument…extensive reading” and is awarded first class honors. The ing mark at UCL is D which is equivalent to 40-49%. At Seoul National University, the lowest ing mark is a D- which is equivalent to 63%. At the Singapore Management University (SMU), the lowest ing mark is a D which has a mark range of 50-52%. 78 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

Quality Point Average (QPA) An FEU student’s final grade for a course generally comes in the form of a letter (A, B+, B, C+, C, D, D+, F), which is a summary of his or her performance in the formative and summative assessments. That final grade is reflected in the student’s transcript of records. So that student performance across courses can be summarized in one measure, the letter grades that a student receives in his or her courses are assigned numerical values called quality points: A is given a value of 4, B+ 3.5, B 3, C+ 2.5, C 2, D+ 1.5, D 1, and F 0. The Quality Point Average or QPA is the summary measure that is used to reflect a student’s performance over a given reference period, e.g., a semester, an academic year, or throughout a student’s entire stay in FEU. It is the weighted mean of the quality points that a student receives in all courses that he or she in enrolled in for credit during the reference period, where the weights are the proportion of the units of each course to total units taken.

The formula of the QPA can be written more concisely and accurately using mathematical notation as follows: n

QPA  wi qi i 1

where qi is the quality point of the letter grade in course i and wi  ui



n

u is

i 1 i

the weight of course i, measured as the number of units assigned to course i divided by the total number of units taken during the reference period (n being the number of courses taken over the reference period). The formula calculates the QPA as the sum of the products of the course weight and the quality point in each course taken during the reference period. Alternatively, the QPA may be calculated as follows:

 

n

QPA 

u qi

i 1 i n

u

.

i 1 i

In this formula, the QPA is shown as the sum of the products of the number of units assigned to a course and the quality point in that course divided by the sum of the number of units of all courses taken during the reference period.

The QPA is calculated at the end of every semester (to determine deans listers), every year (to determine promotion to the next year level), and at the completion of a degree program (to determine Latin Honors).

The enrichment course is meant to help the students’ strengthen their study skills and provide them an opportunity to examine their work habits. Students who do not meet the QPA requirement at the end of the 4th year cannot graduate even if they have completed all their academic requirements. These students will be asked to take and a refresher course which is outside their program of study. Semestral Honors (Dean’s List) and Latin Honors Excellent academic achievement is recognized every semester through the announcement of a Deans’ list. The Deans’ list contains the names of all the students of the previous semester with a semestral QPA of between 3.35 and 3.50 for second honors and between 3.51-4.00 for first honors. To qualify for the Dean’s List a student must have no failing grades (NSTP and WRP included) and no disciplinary case during the particular semester. Student must be enrolled in the required number of units indicated in their curriculum and must not drop any of the enrolled subjects. Consistent and excellent achievement is recognized at the end of a student’s course of study through the awarding of Latin Honors. A student’s overall QPA is calculated by averaging the grades for all the graded units required for a degree program. Latin honors are awarded during graduation. Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors) - awarded to a student who obtains a great point average (GPA) of 3.8 or better, provided that he/she has a residence of at least six semesters immediately preceding the graduation. A GPA of at least 3.8 is required for students who are itted in the program starting school year 2013-2014. Magna Cum Laude (with high honors) - awarded to a student who obtains a grade point average GPA of at least 3.6, provided that he/she has a residence of at least six semesters immediately preceding the graduation.

POLICY ON DRUGS AND PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE Drug addiction and or substance abuse is a disease. The drug addict is a sick person. The drug pusher is most probably also a and sells drugs to the addiction. Like any other persons, drug addicts need treatment. This is the premise of the University’s policy on the issue of drugs and prohibited substance in the community. Drug addiction is one of the biggest threats that the University and the country are facing. Meeting this threat will require the cooperation of the entire University community and the University is counting on everyone’s . The University will extend to those in the community affected by the disease of drug addiction or substance abuse. It will help the students who voluntarily come forward to seek assistance on drug addiction or substance abuse by referring them to appropriate treatment centers. It has launched mechanisms to make it easier for drug addicts on campus to seek help. Students will be given official leave of up to a year to undergo treatment. Those who sought rehabilitation can resume their studies upon certification by the rehabilitation center that they have completed the prescribed course of treatment. They must also agree to participate in the post-treatment counselling and group sessions provided by the center. The University, however, will not tolerate individuals who attempt to introduce drugs into the community. Those found guilty of this offense, will be separated from the University by expulsion or dismissal. National laws covering these offenses will also be applied. Article VIII of the Student Code of Conduct considers the possession, distribution, or use of prohibited drugs or controlled substances or chemicals, and or any drug paraphernalia, and the taking of and or being under the influence of prohibited drug or controlled substance as grave offenses under its Section 2(c)(1) and Section 2(c)(2), respectively. Both offenses are punishable by dismissal or exclusion of the erring student from the University under Section 3(a)(3) of the same Article VIII.

Voluntary appearance of the student and his/ her parents or guardians, if any, at the scheduled date and time of drug test constitutes valid waiver. The University has the responsibility to protect the community from the disease. In accordance with existing CHED regulations, FEU regularly conducts random drug tests on its students. Refusal of a student to undergo random drug testing is considered a major offense under Section 2(b)(25) of Article VIII, Student Code of Conduct.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

APPENDICES POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND NON-SOLICITATION OF FUNDS Anchored on the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness, Far Eastern University (FEU) believes that its students, istration, faculty and staff should demonstrate academic integrity at all times. Academic integrity means that the of the entire academic community adhere to the fundamental values of honesty, hard work, originality, respect and responsibility. FEU students are expected to always adhere to the highest standards of academic excellence. FEU students are expected to demonstrate beliefs, attitudes and behaviors associated with academic honesty. Thus, all acts of academic dishonesty in FEU are not tolerated. Academic dishonesty comes largely in two forms: cheating and plagiarism. It is considered a major offense subject to disciplinary actions if students cheat or plagiarize their work. Cheating is broadly defined as getting unauthorized help on an assignment, quiz or examination. The following are considered as acts of cheating: • • • • • • • •

Copying from another student during a test or examination, with or without his/her knowledge; Allowing another student to copy his/her work; Using unpermitted notes during a test or examination; Having in one’s possession written notes or electronic devices during a test or examination; Getting questions or answers from someone else who has already taken a test or examination; Turning in work done by someone else; Taking a test or examination for another student; Writing or providing an assignment for another student.

A

Plagiarism is another form of academic dishonesty. All FEU students are expected to turn in work that is a product of their own efforts, study and research. Thus, copying work of others (in whole or in part) and claiming it as one’s own is considered an act of plagiarism. A work is also plagiarized if the student did not properly cite or acknowledge the sources or references for his/ her work. One must that plagiarism is identified not through intent but through the act itself. The following are considered acts of plagiarism: • • • • •

Repeating someone else’s words verbatim without acknowledgement; Presenting someone else’s ideas without acknowledgement; Paraphrasing, translating, or summarizing someone else’s ideas without acknowledgement; Improperly acknowledging of sources, as with incomplete/imprecise documentation; Having one’s work done by someone else or having one’s work substantially revised by someone else.

POLICY ON NON-SOLICITATION OF FUNDS All official fees of the University are collected through the Cash Department. Students should not pay any additional fees such as those for tickets, entrance fees, transportation fees, hand-outs, readings, quizzes or tests to any faculty or staff member of the University.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

POLICY ON HANDLING AND RESOLVING COMPLAINTS AGAINST STUDENTS Towards an atmosphere conducive to learning, Far Eastern University (FEU) upholds all applicable laws of the land, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission of Higher Education (CHED). The University has also promulgated its own rules and regulations and established the Student Code of Conduct to serve as guidelines for students’ behavior in their pursuit of educational and personal goals. The FEU student is expected to exhibit a high degree of maturity and personal integrity. As adult learner, he is entitled to his rights with corresponding obligations, and therefore FEU considers each student responsible for his/her own actions in and outside the campus. The University holds that privileges are inseparable from responsibilities, thus, at the time the student is accepted in the University, he/ she is deemed to have agreed to observe the University’s policies, and therefore, any conduct not in accordance with responsible and/or lawful behavior may be considered as valid cause for the University to take appropriate istrative, disciplinary, or legal action against the student. Special mention is made of the Education Act of 1982 which governs both public and private schools in all levels of the Philippine educational system. Section 13, paragraph 2 of the law provides, as follows: “The rights for institutions of higher learning to determine on academic grounds (1) who shall be itted to study; (2) who may teach; and (3) what shall be the subjects of study and research.” Students are entitled to freedom of choice of their field of study, or religious and other beliefs, of expression of opinions and suggestions, and of association and peaceful assembly. In the exercise of such freedom of expression, a student may write, speak or discuss on any subject or even debate or disagree with his mentors. Such freedom, however, is not an absolute right; it should be exercised within the bounds of laws enacted for the promotion of social interests and the protection of other equally important individual rights. Moreover, Section 15 of The Education Act of 1982 provides, thus: “x x x Every student shall: x x x par. 2. Uphold the integrity of the school, endeavor to accomplish academic excellence and abide by the rules and regulations governing his academic responsibilities and moral integrity; par. 3. Promote and maintain the peace and tranquility of the school by observing the rules of discipline, and by exerting efforts to attain harmonious relationship with fellow students, the teaching and academic staff and other school 186 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

personnel.” Discipline is one of the means available to the University to carry out its responsibility to help its students to grow and develop into mature, responsible, effective and worthy citizens in the community. The University, in accordance with the CHED Manual of Regulations for Private Schools, provides three (3) categories of disciplinary istrative sanctions for serious offenses or violation of rules and regulations which may be applied upon erring students, as follows: a. Suspension. Suspension is a penalty in which the University is allowed to deny or deprive an erring student of attendance in classes. b. Dismissal. Dismissal or exclusion is a penalty in which the University is allowed to exclude or drop the name of the erring student from the University rolls for being undesirable, and transfer credentials immediately issued. c. Expulsion. Expulsion is an extreme penalty on an erring student consisting of exclusion from ission to any public or private school in the Philippines and which requires the prior approval of CHED. The aforementioned penalties may be imposed for acts or offenses constituting gross misconduct, academic dishonesty, theft, hazing, carrying deadly weapons, using and or possession of prohibited drugs and substances, drunkenness, vandalism, and other serious offenses such as assault, instigating or leading illegal strikes or similar concerted activities, preventing or threatening any student or school personnel from entering the school premises or attending classes or discharging their duties, forging or tampering with school records or school forms, securing or using forged school records, and other serious offenses. Section 78 (on Authority to Promulgate Disciplinary Rules) of the CHED Manual of Regulations for Private Schools provides, “Every private school shall have the right to promulgate reasonable norms, rules and regulations it may deem necessary and consistent with the provisions of the Manual for the maintenance of good school discipline and class attendance. Such rules and regulations shall be effective as of the date of promulgation and notification to students in an appropriate school issuance of publication.” The Student Code of Conduct is a product of consultation with the students. The Student Discipline is in charge of the development and implementation of the Student Code of Conduct. Faculty , s, or staff 187 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

, in their obligation to exercise judgment as special parents, may call the attention of students whose behavior and actions do not uphold the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct and refer them to Student Discipline for appropriate action. MANUAL FOR HANDLING STUDENT DISCIPLINE CASES I.

Jurisdiction of the Student Discipline

The Student Discipline has jurisdiction over alleged incidents of violation of Student Code of Conduct that occurred on campus, that were part of official University functions and University-sponsored programs/groups (regardless of location), or where the complainant or respondent are of the University community, regardless of whether the violation occurred offcampus, or as it relates to University property. These rules will apply in all in instances in which the dispute is between a student and faculty member (with the student as the respondent), or between fellow students, or in complaints brought by the school istration or any of its officials, or any third party, against a student or group of students. As used herein, the term student refers, but is not limited to: a. A person who at the time of the commission of the offense, is enrolled in any academic or non-academic course or courses whether in the undergraduate or graduate school, regular or part-time; or b. A person itted to any college or unit or any academic or nonacademic program of the University, whether enrolled or not, or has complied with all the requirements for graduation in the program where the person was itted, at the time of the filing of the charge or during the pendency of the proceedings; or c. A person who has been allowed to graduate from the University but has not yet been cleared to take delivery of his/ her certificate of completion, diploma, or transcript of records regardless of whether or not he/ she has been granted by the University an alumnus status. The Student Discipline (SD) shall adjudicate all charges brought against any student or group of students for violation of the Student Code of Conduct, as well as the other rules and regulations of FEU. Adjudication shall be taken to mean “to determine the facts, to decide whether any provisions of the Student 188 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

Code of Conduct, as well as other rules and regulations of FEU have been violated, and if so, to impose disciplinary sanctions.” Complaints may be filed by students, faculty, parents of students, FEU officials, personnel, and other stakeholders, against a student or group of students. Only written complaints, however, shall be acted upon by the Student Discipline. Student Discipline will not act on any complaint of a third party against a student or group of students unless a verified complaint is personally filed by the third party, and the act allegedly committed by the student besmirched the reputation of the University. Complaints in the form of letters and or emails received by or endorsed to the Student Discipline shall not be acted upon unless the complainant complies with the requirements. When the violation is perpetrated by a non-FEU student within the University or in any University-approved off-campus activity, with the cooperation or participation of an FEU student, the latter shall be responsible for the acts of the former. The Director of Student Discipline has the task of ensuring the establishment and maintenance of appropriate disciplinary procedures. The Discipline Officers are primarily responsible for coordinating efforts related to investigation and resolution of cases, implementation of corrective measures, and monitoring of students’ actions to put an end, address and prevent wilful violation of the Student Code of Conduct. II. Sanctions and or Remedies for Violation of the Student Code of Conduct As part of its core process of implementation of the Students’ Code of Conduct, the Student Discipline takes a formative stance, making sure that due process is at all times observed and the appropriate disciplinary action is judiciously imposed on erring students, in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Sanctions for violation of the Student Code of Conduct include Warning, Reprimand, Suspension, Dismissal and Expulsion. Depending on the assessed needs and the nature of the violation, other sanctions and or remedies include, but are not limited to: student and parents’ undertaking, mandatory participation/ attendance in educational programs and seminars/ learning

sessions, community outreach programs, community service, letter of apology, suspension of library privileges, loss of scholarships, and mandatory referral for psychological or psychiatric assessment and compliance with any resulting treatment plan. Not all violations will be deemed equally serious offenses, and the University reserves the right to impose different sanctions and or remedies depending on particulars of each case. A. Student and Parents’ Undertaking The Student and Parents’ Undertaking is one of the most important sanctions for any violation of the Student Code of Conduct. A student, with the assistance of his or her parents or guardian, is made to write his or her own undertaking not to commit any violation, similar or not, of the existing policies.

c. Suspending the student will more likely do harm psychologically to the student 2. When student committed a major offense, upon request of the student and his parents, taking into consideration his academic standing and presence of mitigating, exempting or justifying circumstances 3. When the major offense is downgraded to a minor offense 4. As additional penalty in lieu of dismissal in case of appeal of parents and students for lowering of penalty to mere suspension The number of community service hours that may be imposed to the student is determined as follows: 1. For multiple uniform- related offenses (MURO), when student requests for conversion due to meritorious reasons, 70 CS hours per day of suspension 2. For major offenses other than MURO, 100 hours for the first day of suspension and 50 hours per day thereafter. 3. Community service of 500 hours in lieu of one semester suspension 4. Community service of 1,000 hours in lieu of two semesters suspension 5. For major offenses downgraded to minor offenses, minimum of fifty hours community service.

The students may also be credited with community service hours for participation in community outreach and extension services programs initiated by the Volunteerism Services, and attendance at cultural programs and activities of the President’s Committee on Culture (PCC). At all times, attendance to these aforementioned activities will be conditioned on a valid waiver signed by the students and their respective parents, and the submission of well-written students’ personal reflection paper (not less than 300 hundred words, relating their experience and knowledge gained from such activities) which will be personally read by the Director of Student Discipline and the Discipline Officers.

STUDENT HANDBOOK

Students meted with community service may be allowed, on meritorious grounds as may be determined by Student Discipline and upon substantial compliance with the required CS hours, to be excused from completing the imposed number of community service hours. In such a case, the unserved hours shall be considered waived and the total penalty earlier imposed is considered as having been served by the student. III. Kinds of Violations of Student Code of Conduct Violations of Student Code of Conduct may be classified into to two major kinds: scholastic (also known as academic) dishonesty and social (also known as behavioral) misconduct. A. Scholastic (Academic) Dishonesty Scholastic (academic) dishonesty are of two kinds: plagiarism and violation of test-taking protocol. The investigation on cases of plagiarism or violation of test-taking protocol are handled by the University Academic Integrity Committee (UAIC). The UAIC reports all cases of plagiarism and violation of the test-taking protocol, together with the recommended sanction, to the Student Discipline which will then inform the student of the findings against him, and the corresponding sanction. Any appeal will have to be in writing and addressed to the UAIC. B. Social (Behavioral) Misconduct The Student Discipline handles complaints involving social (behavioral) misconduct through a disciplinary process that encourages the informal resolution of complaints with the agreement of the student, failing which, complaint undergoes a formal investigation before the Committee on Discipline. The resolution process is used to determine if a student engaged in behavior that violates the Student Code of Conduct understands and accepts responsibility for his or her own behavior. Once the Student Discipline receives a complaint against a student or group of students for social (or behavioral) misconduct, it will schedule an appointment with the student(s) in order to discuss the complaint, and the statement of the student(s) will be taken. Students who refuse to respond to summons from Student Discipline will be blocked at the gate, in order for them to be escorted to the Student Discipline for the initial meeting. 192 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

The Student Discipline is mandated to finish the resolution process and the Committee on Discipline, the formal investigation, at the soonest possible time. Requests for delays may only be granted when such a delay is in the interest of the University. In all cases, the University will conduct a fair, timely and thorough resolution process and or investigation, maintaining at all times the confidentiality of the process. Students who knowingly make false charges or complaints may be subject to disciplinary action. Students who leave the University with pending complaints against them will not be permitted to return to the University until the case is resolved through the University’s resolution process or investigation. Students who leave the University without compliance with the sanction imposed for violation of the Student Code of Conduct will not be permitted to return to the University unless the student executes an undertaking to render the sanction previously imposed. IV. Handling Student Discipline Cases A. The Resolution Process During the initial meeting with the Student Discipline and the student, an initial resolution may be reached. A student charged with violation of the Student Code of Conduct is offered the opportunity to resolve his or her case without a formal investigation- the student may, at any time prior to the formal investigation, it having violated the Student Code of Conduct as charged. If the student its the misconduct and is willing to accept sanctions, he is given the opportunity to suggest what sanction is appropriate for the misconduct. The Student Discipline may adjust the sanction suggested by the student. If the Student Discipline and the student(s) reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding sanctions, no investigation will be held and the case is considered resolved. Sanctions range from a Warning to Dismissal from the University. A student agreeing to an informal resolution waives the rights to a formal investigation and any further appeal. For sanctions involving suspension or dismissal, the students’ parents will be invited to a conference to discuss the sanction agreed upon with the student.

193 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

The Student Discipline may also determine if further investigation is needed or may simply drop the case if it determines that no violation was committed by the student(s) or if it finds the explanation of the student plausible, and based on the evidences on hand, thinks the student is not responsible. B. The Formal Investigation Process If the student does not want to accept the sanctions or prefers to have a formal investigation, or if Student Discipline believes a formal investigation is necessary (i.e., student its the misconduct but the Student Discipline finds the same as appalling), the case will be forwarded to the Committee on Discipline composed of five , to wit: a representative each from two separate Institutes (of proven independence, integrity and probity), a representative each from two separate academic services department, and a Discipline Officer, for investigation and resolution. The student respondent shall have the following rights: 1. 2. 3. 4.

To be informed of the charges against him or her; To answer the charges against him or her; To be informed of the evidences against him or her; To adduce evidence on his/ her own behalf.

In every istrative disciplinary investigation, care is taken that the respondent student is afforded due process, both substantive and procedural. Substantive due process dictates that the respondent student be imposed disciplinary sanction only upon existence of valid ground, that is, an offense under the Student Code of Conduct or against University policy, which is proven by evidences on hand. Procedural due process, on the other hand, requires that the respondent student be given an opportunity to be heard and confront the complainant as well as the evidences against him or her. It must be borne in mind that a disciplinary investigation is istrative in nature and requires only substantial evidence as proof. The Committee on Discipline will review the allegations and render a decision after hearing the testimonies of the witnesses and the ing documents. The process continues with or without the student’s involvement, and a decision is reached based on the information gathered. Non-appearance of the respondent, after due notice, shall be construed as a waiver of his/her right

194 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

to present evidence in of his/her defense, if any, and the Committee on Discipline shall thence proceed with the investigation ex parte. Hence, the student may not use his or her own refusal to participate as ground for appealing a decision. A student may have an advisor (not involved in the complaint) with him or her during the formal investigation. The respondent student needs to present his or her side of the case, with the advisor serving only in a ive and advisory capacity and not allowed to represent or speak for the student. The Student Discipline corresponds at all times directly with the student, and not through any third party. If a student is found, by substantial evidence, to have committed a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, the Committee on Discipline will decide on the appropriate sanctions to be imposed, taking note at all times that the sanction aims to help a student reflect on his or her action, learn how to act in ways consistent with the University’s values and community expectations, and or repair any harm caused, and or worse, exclude the student from campus if necessary. For sanctions involving suspension or dismissal, the students’ parents will be invited to a conference to discuss the sanction imposed on the student. In imposing the disciplinary action against a student, the Student Discipline and the Committee on Discipline after due process, and consistent with Student Discipline’s formative stance, take into the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

nature of and the circumstances surrounding the violation inherent gravity of the offense committed by the student respondent’s prior disciplinary record character and position of the complainant or aggrieved party precedent cases safety concerns of the University pertinent and applicable aggravating and mitigating circumstances

Not all violations will be deemed equally serious offenses, and the University reserves the right to impose different sanctions and or remedies depending on particulars of each case. The imposition of the disciplinary sanctions and or remedies for violation of any rule or rules under the Student Code of Conduct shall not preclude the 195 FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

STUDENT HANDBOOK

University from endorsing the case to the proper government authorities when the same may involve violations of penal laws. C. Appeals Appeals and or requests for reconsideration of disciplinary decisions are made in writing to the Director of Student Discipline who shall decide on the merits of the appeal or request (based on new information not available at the time of the investigation, significant procedural error, or other equally reasonable cause), review the findings of the Committee on Discipline, and make final decision on the case. Disciplinary sanctions affecting the student’s status/attendance at the University are put on hold pending appeal. D. Discipline Records Discipline records are considered confidential records and only those persons authorized by the student or by Student Discipline may have access to these records, and the information cannot be released to third parties unless the student and or the parents waive their right of confidentiality and privacy by securing a Certificate of Good Moral Character which effectively grants Student Discipline the permission to release or discuss the disciplinary record with concerned individual/ entity. Discipline records are typically kept for four years past the student’s graduation, or if the student leaves the University before graduation, for a minimum of six (6) years from the completion of the case resolution/ investigation. At the end of these period, discipline records are destroyed. Cases that resulted in dismissal of students, however, are kept indefinitely. PROCEDURES ON HANDLING COMPLAINTS 1. Complainant secures a Complaint Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.04) from the Student Discipline (SD). Complainant fills out the form and submits the same, together with his/ her evidences, if any, to the Discipline Officer incharge (DOIC). If the complainant has own witness, DOIC asks witness to fill out a Statement Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.05) so he/ she can write what he/ she knows about the allegations in the complaint.

196 FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY

FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015

2. Upon receipt of the complaint, an investigation shall be conducted by DOIC. DOIC summons the respondent (student) to appear before the SD to answer the complaint filed against him/ her. DOIC informs student of the allegations against him/ her and asks him/ her to fill out the Statement Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.05) in order that he/ she can present his/ her side and or his/ her counter-allegations against the complainant. Respondent fills out the Statement Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.05) and submits the same, together with his evidences, if any, to the DOIC. If the respondent has own witness, DOIC asks witness to fill out a Statement Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.05) so he/ she can write what he/ she knows about the allegations in the complaint, and the defense of the respondent. Should the DOIC deems it necessary, the DOIC sets the date of the clarificatory conference among the parties and their respective witnesses. 3. On the basis of the evidences on hand, DOIC confers with the other DOs and the Director of SD, and together they determine the offense, if any, committed by the respondent, or the respondent and the complainant, in case the evidences point also to the liability of complainant for violation of the Student Code of Conduct. 4. In case it is determined that there is no cause for disciplinary action against the respondent, the complaint is dismissed and DOIC calls the complainant and respondent for a conference and informs them of the results of the investigation. 5. In case it is determined that respondent committed an offense, DOIC meets the respondent student for the informal resolution process. The student is offered the opportunity to resolve his or her case without a formal investigation-- the student may it having violated the Student Code of Conduct as charged. DOIC and student then reach a mutually acceptable agreement regarding sanction. For sanctions involving suspension or dismissal, DOIC issues Parents’ Conference Request Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.11) to the student as invitation to the parents in order to discuss the sanction agreed upon with the student. 6. If the informal resolution process fails, or a formal investigation is necessary, the case will be forwarded to the Committee on Discipline for the formal investigation process. If a student is found, by substantial

STUDENT HANDBOOK

evidence, to have committed a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, the Committee on Discipline will decide on the appropriate sanctions to be imposed. For sanctions involving suspension or dismissal, the DOIC issues Parents’ Conference Request Form (FEU/QSF-SDI.11) to the student as invitation to the parents in order to discuss the sanction to be imposed on the student. 7. In case of international students whose parents are not in the Philippines, the erring students shall be represented by the Faculty Adviser of the International Student’s Organization during the conference. Care is taken that the international students are informed and understand their rights, the results of the investigation, and the corresponding penalty to be imposed. 8. In case it is determined that complainant also committed an offense, DOIC, together with the Director for SD, meets with the complainant and his/ her parents and informs them of the results of the investigation and the corresponding disciplinary action to be meted to complainant. 9. In cases where several students are involved, the Student Discipline may invite representatives from the student’s Institute to sit as observers during the formal investigation. The representatives from the Institute shall not participate in the conduct of the investigation, but their opinions and views shall be considered in determining the culpability or liability of the student(s) involved. 10. Any appeal, made thru a letter of reconsideration, on the penalty imposed to the student shall be made to the Director of Student Discipline, who shall decide on the appeal, within the same day of receipt of such letter. If the Director of Student Discipline finds the appeal to be meritorious, a conference with the student and the parents shall ensue to discuss the new penalty to be imposed. 11. The results of the parent conference and or the disposition on the appeal, shall be the basis of the memo, if any, to the Institute for the implementation of the penalty imposed to the respondent, or the respondent and the complainant.
