HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY
Jose Rizal University was originally founded as the Far Eastern College School of Accounts,
Commerce, and Finance in 1919 as a non-stock, non-profit, non-sectarian private educational institution
to blaze the trail in the field of commercial education. Its founder was the late Vicente Fabella; the first
Filipino certified public accountant. The name was subsequently changed to Jose Rizal College in 1922 in
honor of the great Filipino patriot and martyr who tried to awaken his countrymen in his writings to the
need for economic self-sufficiency and independence.
The university was first located at R. Hidalgo Street in Quiapo, Manila. It offered a four-year
bachelor's degree in Commerce as well as high school. It had continued to provide educational services
since 1919, except during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in World War II, when it remained
closed as a gesture of protest despite repeated attempts by the occupation authorities at the time to have it
opened.
The university reopened after the end of the war in 1945 and, faced with the need for expanded
facilities, transferred in 1950 to its present site in Mandaluyong City, then part of the province of Rizal
and subsequently Metro Manila.
The university is a founding member of the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities
(PACU) in 1932, the Philippine Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (PACSB) in 1962, the
Private Education Retirement Annuity Association (PERAA) in 1974, and the Philippine Association of
Personnel Management in Private Schools (PAPMIPS) in 1997.
In its more than 100 years of existence, the university has achieved the singular distinction of
having produced a remarkable number of successful graduates who have enjoyed the respect of the
nation. Among them are included a President of the Philippines, a justice of the Supreme Court, several
members of the legislature and the Cabinet, some ambassadors, no less than twenty heads of banks and
financial corporations, several heads of educational institutions, acknowledged leaders in the various
fields of industry, commerce, agriculture and trade, and armed forces officers of general rank. It can
rightfully claim that it has contributed its share in molding character and training successful graduates.
The careful combination of proven competence in instruction plus valuable experience in the
profession has been the guide of the university in selecting faculty members. This policy, combined with
carefully planned programs in various disciplines and adequate facilities, has formed the basis for the
impressive educational record of the university.
VISION OF THE UNIVERSITY
JRU will be a market leader in the use of technology for innovation in teaching and learning to

1. STUDENT PROGRESS AND RETENTION
1.1 Attendance, Tardiness and Absences
1.1.1 Attendance
Punctual and continuous attendance in all classes is required of all students, which is
considered a matter of discipline and a factor affecting scholarship. All class activities organized
by the school are treated as part of a regular class period.
1.1.2 Tardiness
Students will be given a 10-minute grace period before being considered late. Students
who incur three (3) tardiness in each class will be allowed to enter the classroom only with an
Excuse Slip from the Student Discipline Office.
Daily class attendance is taken for all students. Those who do not have Excuse Slips
whenever they are habitually tardy or absent may be subjected to school discipline.
The following are the disciplinary sanctions that shall be imposed on students:
Three Tardiness : Secure Excuse Slip from the Discipline Coordinator

Fourth Tardiness : Warning to Student
Fifth Tardiness : Parent Conference
Page 12
1.1.3 Absences
The school abides by the provision stated in the Compendium of Education Legislation
for Private Basic Education (2011 ed.), Section 157.1:
“A pupil/student who incurs absences of more than twenty percent (20%) of the
prescribed number of class or laboratory periods during the school year or term should be given
a failing grade and/or given NC(no credit) for the course or subject.”
1.1.4 Excuse Letter and Excuse Slip
A student who has been absent shall be required to present a letter of explanation from
his/her parent or guardian or to bring them to school for a short conference with the section
adviser or guidance counselor, as the case may be.
Students shall be required to secure an Excuse Slip from the Senior High School
Principal’s Office after submitting their excuse letter/pertinent document to be able to attend their
classes again.
A student who is inside the school premises but does not attend his/her class is
considered as a cutting class and can only be re-admitted when accompanied by his/her parent or
guardian in securing an Excuse Slip from the Principal’s Office.
1.1.5 School Days and Class Hours
Day session classes are conducted from 7:00 o’clock in the morning to 6:30 o’clock in
the evening on regular school days, with appropriate study/snack and lunch breaks. Every
Monday morning, students with first-period classes are required to come ten minutes earlier to
participate in the flag-raising ceremony.
Senior High School students are not allowed to leave campus during their class hours.
In case of emergency, minor students should be fetched by their parent/s or a legal

guardian. The parent/s or the legal guardian should bring an identification card in fetching the
student. Students who are 18 years old and above should immediately go to the Student
Discipline Office before leaving the campus.
1.1.6 Cancellation of Classes and Specific Procedures
1.1.6.1 Suspension of Classes
Basically, there are two conditions where the announcement of the cancellation
of classes is given:
a. Automatic Suspension of Classes
High school classes are automatically suspended when typhoon signal
no. 2 is raised by PAG-ASA.
Page 13
b. Localized Suspension of Classes

The City Mayor of Mandaluyong or the DepEd Mandaluyong may
announce the suspension of classes if there are threats to public health and safety,
such as heavy rains, earthquakes, floods, high tides, transport strikes, and other
circumstances. After clearing with the President of the University, the suspension
of classes will be announced.
1.1.6.2 Specific Procedures
a. Dismissal
In cases where the suspension of classes is done when the students are
already in school attending classes, students will not be allowed to leave the
University without a companion prior to 12:00 noon. If students are not fetched
at 12 noon, it is assumed that the parents are allowing their children to go home
alone. On the other hand, in cases where suspension of classes is done in the
afternoon, students will be dismissed immediately after obtaining necessary
clearances. If students are not fetched by 4:00 p.m., it is assumed that the
parents/guardians are allowing their children to go home alone.
b. Re-scheduling of Examination and Scheduled Activities

Where classes are suspended on the day of a scheduled examination or
activity, such as a program or a contest, the examination or the activity will be
held a day after classes are resumed.
c. Make-up Classes
 Make-up classes shall be deemed necessary whenever classes are suspended/
canceled at least three times between monthly exams and if the class days
that are affected fall on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and/or Thursdays.
 If the suspension/cancellation of classes falls on a Monday and/or a Friday,
there shall be no need to conduct make-up classes regardless of the number
of times they are suspended.
 Make-up classes will be scheduled on Saturday.
 The coverage of the make-up classes will only be the subject/s that are
affected by the suspension/cancellation of classes.
 A total of three days of suspension/cancellation of classes equals one (1)
period of make-up per subject that is affected.
1.2 Grading, Promotion, and Retention
1.2.1 System of Grading
The Senior High School Division uses the percentile system of grading with the use of a
transmutation table, with 100 percent as the highest possible grade and 60 percent as the lowest
posted grade. The lowest passing grade is 75 percent.

3. STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
A number of scholarships are granted each year to applicants who can fulfill the requirements
prescribed by the University. These scholarships make it possible for deserving young men and women to
further their studies in spite of possible financial difficulties.
Essentially, two types of scholarships exist, for those who wish to enter the University, and those
who are already studying at the University. In turn, for both kinds, there exist academic and non-academic
scholarships.
3.1 Academic Scholarships
A. La Pluma
All incoming Grade 11 in the Senior High School Division who have been certified as
belonging to the top ten (10) in the academic ranking by their Junior High School Principals from
any school, including JRU, with a minimum size of 100 students or more, are automatically
qualified to apply as "La Pluma” scholars for their initial two (2) terms in JRU for as long as they
enroll in JRU in the school year immediately following their year of promotion from Junior High
School.
“La Pluma” scholarship privileges include a 100% discount on tuition and miscellaneous
fees except on those fees charged on a "per application" basis, 100% reimbursement of
textbooks, and inclusion in the "Academic Scholars' Mentoring Program." In addition, incoming
"Valedictorians" are entitled to a monthly allowance of One Thousand Pesos (P1,000.00) during
school days, which they will continue to enjoy for as long as they remain classified as “La
Pluma” Scholars.
“La Pluma” Scholars who obtained a final GPA of 95.00 with no quarterly grade lower
than 87.00 are entitled to continue as “La Pluma" Scholars.
B. Entrance Scholar A

environment in which students, faculty, and staff can develop intellectually, professionally,

reprisal. All students and employees are expected to use all equipment and programs for the
intended educational purpose only.
Bullying and harassment will not be tolerated and shall be a just cause for disciplinary
action. Conduct that constitutes bullying or harassment, as defined herein, is prohibited. Bullying,
harassment, and cyberstalking are defined as inflicting physical or psychological distress and/or
communicating words, images, or language using electronic mail that causes emotional distress
and for which there is no legitimate purpose. Any action by a student or parent deemed
inappropriate will be fully investigated by the appropriate school administrator.
4.3.4 Academic Integrity Policy
“Academic dishonesty” means employing a method or technique or engaging in conduct

in any academic endeavor that contravenes the standards of ethical integrity expected at Jose
Rizal University or by a subject teacher to fulfill any and all academic requirements. There are
two kinds of academic integrity violations: One is plagiarism and the other is cheating.
Plagiarism: According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, to “plagiarize” means to steal
and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own; to use (another’s production) without
crediting the source; to commit literary theft to present as new and original an idea or product
derived from an existing source. Cheating: To act dishonestly or unfairly to gain an advantage,
especially in a game or examination.
4.3.5 Online Class Session Policy
Attendance:
Show up at the scheduled time. Students are expected to log into their course (s) to keep
up with the course materials. Faculty, staff, and administration can track the students' activities
online. If an unexpected situation, such as illness, should arise and there is an extended leave
from the course, it is the student's responsibility to contact the teacher and report the problem so
Page 24
that alternative courses of action for meeting class requirements can be made. Failure to comply
may result in a failing grade.
Privacy:
Secure your password. Be careful with personal information. Always log out.
Requirements:
Submit assignments, requirements, papers, and examinations on time. Failure to do so
might result in a failing grade. Late submissions will be given a point deduction.
4.3.6 Communication Policy

offices;

 Use correct spelling and grammar when communicating;
 Never post or submit anything that will be considered libelous, cyberbullying, or
plagiarized. Disciplinary or academic sanctions will be applied;

requirements/instructions. Non-compliance may result in getting a failing grade;
 Communicate with your respective subject teachers for any class issues;
 Relay/share with your parents/guardian all teacher/school-related communications
sent to you via email or shared/posted in your Canvas Homeroom Folders.
 Show your parents/guardian your term grade/school performance by accessing your
grades thru your JRU SWIT and join them in meeting your subject teachers for any
performance and grade-related concerns and issues for clarification and resolution.
 For connectivity issues or technical difficulties, inform your teacher immediately by
sending an e-mail.
4.3.7 Parent/Guardian’s Responsibilities
As a parent or guardian of a student enrolled in Hyflex learning, it is very important to

understand the responsibilities associated with that role. With the many distractions students have
today, it can be difficult for some students to set aside time to work on courses when not in
school. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to encourage the student to manage their
time in an effective way. Teachers will keep the parent/guardian apprised of the student’s
progress and initiate contact if they fall behind in their coursework. Parents are expected to
supervise and monitor their student’s progress throughout the duration of the course. Parents
should support Academic Integrity. Academic Integrity is one of JRU’s core values and one of
the most important areas of focus as a learning organization. Students with Academic Integrity
make decisions based on ethics and values that will prepare them to be productive and ethical
citizens. You may contact your child’s teacher directly to answer questions about the course that
you may have. When a parent or guardian has a concern about the child’s performance or
behavior, the parent/guardian should request a conference with the child's teacher/s.
Parents/guardians are also encouraged to provide their child's teachers and class adviser with their
latest/updated contact details so the school can immediately and properly reach out to them for
any updates and concerns related to their child's academic performance and behavior in school.
4.3.8 Forms of Disciplinary Action
The following are the forms of disciplinary sanctions for major and minor offenses or
violations of school rules and regulations that may be applied to an erring student.
Page 25
4.3.8.1 Community Service

A student who committed a major offense will be tasked to serve the JRU
community. Instructions will be given by the Principal or the Student Discipline
Coordinator.
4.3.8.2 Suspension
a) Preventive Suspension
A student may be immediately placed under preventive suspension during the
period of the investigation or the pendency of the disciplinary proceedings against him.
This must be done to maintain an atmosphere conducive to education in the school,
preserve decorum in the classroom, and uphold respect for administrators and teachers.
b) Punitive Suspension
After the due process has been observed, a student may be suspended from
attending class, the number of days of which shall be commensurate to the nature and
gravity of the offense committed.
Major Offense Minor Offense

First offense Parent Conference Warning
Second 2 days suspension Parent Conference
offense
Online platform is
blocked.
Third offense 5 days suspension 2 days suspension
non-readmission, Online platform is
exclusion blocked.
Suspension may take the form of but is not limited to community and academic
works. As a general rule, a suspended student is not excused from taking examinations,
quizzes, and graded recitations given during the specified period. Therefore, he/she shall
be given a failing mark for not having taken them and will not be given special
examinations to make up for them later.
The University reserves the right to accelerate the disciplinary suspension or

other penalties to the student (e.g., extend a 5-day suspension or greater even if it is a first
offense), depending on its assessment of the extent/degree of the offense committed.
4.3.8.3 Exclusion (Dismissal/Forced Transfer)
After the due process has been observed, a student may be excluded from the
rolls during the same year if he/she is found guilty of a serious breach of school rules. It
takes immediate effect and prevents the student from finishing the school year.
4.3.8.4 Expulsion
This punishment is reserved for extremely grave matters inasmuch as no transfer

credentials will be issued. Therefore the erring student will be unable to continue his/her
studies even in another school.
Page 26
4.4 Damages
A student who is found to have been directly responsible for damages to school property/property
of others or inflicting physical injuries to another person while within the campus or during an official
off-campus activity is liable to make financial compensations for the damages caused as determined by
the disciplinary committee and the Principal.
4.4.1 Liability of Students
There are two types of sanctions, those of a financial nature and those of an academic
nature. The financial compensation involves the payment by the erring student of the cost of the
damaged property, whether or not done deliberately, and involves the determination of
replacement cost. A student may also be required to shoulder expenses incurred as a result of
physical damage against one's victim from a fistfight or any act of misbehavior. In any case, the
amount of the fine is commensurate to the offense committed.
The second concerns additional disciplinary measures should it appear that the student's
acts approximate that of vandalism and may involve academic sanctions.
4.4.2 Procedure for Payment
Once the cost of the damages has been established by the disciplinary committee and the
cost has been approved by the Principal, the student (through his parents/guardian) will be
required to settle the cost as soon as possible.
5. STUDENT CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
It is the policy of the University to encourage and stimulate the spirit of competition, confidence
in one’s self, a continuing desire for improvement, and the development of the qualities of leadership and
citizenship training as desirable traits to be developed among the individual students and student body as
a whole in all divisions of the University.

of the students in related subjects, to improve their skills in various fields, and to promote harmonious
social relationships on the school campus. Organizations related to other curricular areas provide students
with enriching learning experiences.
To supplement classroom work, educational tours, with parental consent and under the supervised
direction of class advisers, are undertaken by the students in all curriculum year levels. Instructional
techniques are supplemented by a variety of audio-visual and Computer-Aided Materials.
Holy Mass is celebrated every first Friday of the month at the school campus. Religious
instruction is conducted on a voluntary arrangement to interested Catholic students. The prayer room in
Room C-14 is open during school hours, where students of all denominations may meditate.
Literary and musical programs, convocations featuring noted resource persons, and other social
gatherings are frequently held on campus for further educational and cultural enrichment.
The homeroom provides an opportunity for close teacher-student relationships, more effective
practice of social group living and better group guidance activities. Complete computer facilities are
provided for the students' hands-on experience to reinforce the lessons learned in ordinary classrooms.

6. STUDENT RECORDS
6.1 Academic Records
The following aspects of academic student records are given below, with particular reference to
the role of the Registrar’s Office.
The Registrar’s Office is essentially a part of the administrative staff of the University, which is
primarily responsible for keeping all academic records of students. It is the immediate contact of the
DepEd.
6.1.1 Transfer Credentials
Upon submission and acceptance of the transfer credential, the school shall request in
writing for the complete school records: Form 137 of the student from the school last attended.
Form 137, Transfer Credentials, and Certifications shall be issued only if the entrance
documentation/credentials of the student into the University are complete, including F-137from
the school where the student had studied prior to entering the University, and with no outstanding
obligation whatsoever. As a general rule, Form-137 shall not be issued directly to students unless
authorized in writing by the school requesting Form 137 but sent to the school where the student
has enrolled. A student can submit a report card marked "Eligible for Transfer and Admission to
<grade level>" if there are no academic or financial problems.
Page 31
For security reasons, F-137 shall always be issued with the notation "NOT VALID
WITHOUT THE SEAL OF THE UNIVERSITY AND THE ORIGINAL SIGNATURE OF THE
REGISTRAR.”
6.1.2 Registration
The senior high school division is directly involved in the registration process in
coordination with the Registrar’s Office relative to the enrolment process and guidelines. The
Registrar's Office serves as the repository of Student documents and is responsible for monitoring
the submission of documents/credentials after enrolment.
A student is considered officially enrolled only if he:
a. Submitted all required admission credentials.

b. Has been issued an Enrolment Permit (EP).
c. Made an initial payment of school fees.
6.1.3 Graduation
The Registrar's Office evaluates the subjects and units taken by the senior high school
division's senior students in preparation for the final list of candidates for graduation and,
subsequently, the printing of diplomas and F-137. The Registrar's office makes sure that the
student should have complied with graduation requirements such as Academic and Student
records/credentials requirements and no account obligations.
6.1.4 Clearances
Before any student is given a certification of Good Moral Character in order to transfer to
another school, it is necessary that releases or clearances be obtained from a number of offices,
including the financial office and the library. The student can obtain an application form that will
indicate the necessary releases.
6.1.5 Special Orders
Applications for Special Orders are submitted to DepEd for processing at least sixty days
before the end of the school year, if necessary.
7. STUDENT ACCOUNTS AND FINANCES
7.1 Tuition and Other School Fees
The tuition for the school year or summer is charged based on the curriculum year and the strands
or courses taken. Miscellaneous and other fees may be charged depending on the grade level and subject
enrolled. The details of tuition and miscellaneous fees are available in the Student Accounts Section of
the Accounting Office.
A “prompt payment discount” of 10% of the tuition is given to students with no voucher subsidy
from the government if full payment of all tuition and miscellaneous fees is made before the opening of
classes (Prompt Payment Discount). However, if payment is made through a credit card, the "prompt
payment discount" is reduced to 7.5%.
Page 32
Further information about the prompt payment discount schedule and the deadline for enjoying
such privilege may be obtained at the Student Accounts Section in Room A-15.
The University offers various discount privileges, including brother and/or sisters’ discounts,
alumni discounts for first-time enrollees, etc. Further information about discounts offering may also be
obtained in the Student Accounts Section in Room A-15.
Students who will pay tuition and miscellaneous fees after the prompt payment discount period
but on or before the 11th day from the opening of classes can no longer avail of the prompt payment
discount and will be charged the full published rate.
Students who are not able to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees in full on or before the 11th day
from the opening of classes shall automatically be considered as paying on an “installment basis” and
shall be charged the installment rates.
The last day of enrolment without a fine is the first day of regular classes. Any student who is
allowed to enroll after the said date shall be considered a late enrollee and is subject to the late enrolment
fine.
A student is not considered enrolled unless the tuition or the first installment payment has been
paid, in addition to the other enrolment requirements.
Please note that students with delinquent accounts shall be subject to penalties. This includes
students who do not settle financial obligations to the University on time and those who issue "bounced
checks.”
7.2 Exception List
During the school year, examinations are scheduled. Parents/guardians of students must settle
their accounts on or before the cut-off date, which is two (2) days before the first day of the scheduled
date of examinations; otherwise, the student’s name will be included in the Exception List, and
consequently, the student will not be allowed to take the examination.

8. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES
8.1 Health Services
A medical and dental clinic forms part of the services made available to students of the University
at all levels. It is located in Room C-18 on the ground floor of Building C. Qualified
physicians/dentists/nurses staff the Clinic, which is open from 7 AM to 9 PM from Monday to Friday.
The Clinic has a limited selection of medications available, which can be used to cover a broad
spectrum of medical conditions expected in the school setting.
A student who wishes to avail of the services of the Clinic may inform his adviser or classroom
teacher, who, in turn, will accompany him to the Clinic. In all cases, the clinic staff will assess the
student, institute appropriate treatment (which may include providing medication or cleaning/dressing a
wound), and inform the adviser or the principal of the situation. The parent/guardian is subsequently
notified of the consultation and the child's medical condition.
Students are not allowed to loiter or stay in the Clinic if they do not need its services.
Page 35
Currently, enrolled students who wish to avail of the services of the Clinic can proceed to the said
room. They should present their current JRU ID to the nurse on duty and inform the nurse of their
complaint. They will then be asked to fill up the JRU Student Health Record (JRU Form 461), which will
subsequently be filed at the Clinic.
8.2 Guidance and Testing Services
Guidance and counseling services are available at the Guidance and Testing Office. Such services
can involve the assessment of difficulties in students' studies, including the application of appropriate
testing and measurement mechanisms, in order to assist the individual student in realizing his/her full
potential. Guidance and counseling services can partake of either or both individual or group counseling.
Testing services refer primarily to group testing for school administration purposes, such as to
provide benchmarks and indicators for determining the progress of pupils and the quality of instructional
output. Such tests are provided by or are given under the supervision of the Guidance and Testing Office.
However, certain tests of a mandatory national character, such as the National Achievement Test for
fourth-year high school students by the Department of Education, are undertaken directly by the Principal
in conjunction with DepEd.
8.3 Child Protection Policy
The University shall take measures to protect the students from abuse, violence exploitation,
discrimination, bullying or peer abuse, and other related offenses.
8.4 Data Privacy
The University is committed to protecting the privacy rights of its students (also known as data
subjects) on personal information according to the Data Privacy Act of 2012. Students with their
guardians are urged to read and understand the privacy notice posted on the University website, which
explains how the University collects, uses, retains, and discloses the personal information of its data
subjects. Questions about policy or any complaint regarding the treatment of privacy by the University
may be communicated to the Data Privacy Officer.
