Policies on Attendance:
Article XVI. ATTENDANCE
Any student who, or unavoidable cause, absents himself from class must obtain an
excuse slip from the Dean to be presented to the instructor concerned not later than the
second class session following the students return. In addition, in case the absence is due to
illness, a certificate must be secured from the University Health Service in the Diliman
campus or from the proper medical offices in units outside Diliman.
Excuses are for time missed only. All work covered by the class during the absence
shall be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor within a reasonable time from the date of
absence.
When the number of hours lost absence of a student reaches 20% of the hours of the
scheduled work in one subject, he shall be dropped from the subject. However, a faculty
member may prescribe a longer attendance requirement to meet special needs.
If the majority of the absences are excused, the student shall not be given a grade of 5
upon being thus dropped; otherwise, he shall be given a grade of 5. Time lost by late
enrollment shall be considered as time lost by absence.
Certificate of Illness
Students absent from classes due to illness are required to get excuse slips from the
University Health Service. These certificates are issued to students who consulted or were
confined in the Health Service. Illnesses attended to elsewhere causing absences from
classes shall be reported to the Health Service within three days after the absences have been
incurred. Excuse slips for the above illnesses as well as for the other illnesses of which the
Health Service has no records are issued only after satisfactory evidences have been
presented to the Health Service.
