4.Last day of dropping is ___________. A student may officially drop the course on or before the deadline for dropping. Only after a dropping slip is
accomplished in the Registrar’s Office and the instructor’s copy is submitted can be considered to have the course officially dropped.

Class Policies:

A.Should the students fail to submit the requirements:

1.They will be given a score of zero (0) with a corresponding grade of zero percent (0%) in a requirement which is not submitted under the following
conditions:

i.They are given a chance to make-up for the said requirement;

ii.They are given enough time to work on the make-up requirement.

2.They will be given a score of zero (0) with a corresponding grade of zero percent (0) in a quiz which is given during their absence, under the following
conditions:

i.The absence is unexcused;

ii.They are offered a make-up quiz and still fail to shop-up during the given time;

iii.They are given enough time to prepare for the make-up quiz.

3.In case the students submitted a requirement given by the instructor/instructress to make-up for their lost grade, a certain percent will be deducted on their
actual grade. The deduction will be determined by the subject teacher.

B.Students who arrive beyond the allowable time for tardiness will be allowed to enter the class but are marked absent. Attendance policies found in the
Balingoan College Student Handbook applies.

C.Students not wearing the prescribed uniform/proper dress decorum will be considered absent.

D.Eating and drinking are not allowed inside the classroom.

E.Students under the influence of any liquor will not be permitted to enter the classroom and shall be advised to leave the campus premises immediately to
