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

A detail of the Antonio Dumlao mural
in the Administration Building conveys the
university’s mission of training the youth for progress.1
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.
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, remember 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.
PROACTIVELY FOLLOWING
HEALTH TIPS AND ADVISORIES
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.
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
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.
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.
1. People who cannot avoid wading in floodwaters should wear rubber boots.
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
• joint 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
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. Help FEU’s Security and Safety Office
by following these guidelines:

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.
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.
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 accounts. Even friends can hack your account
and post nonsense on your wall. To prevent any unauthorized access,
secure your account with a strong password and never share it with
anyone, not even with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Don’t be a poser by
having several accounts.
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. Remember: Sharing fake news entails
contributing to the misinformation of netizens.

FEU was the biggest contributor to the army of young
soldiers during the war. These young soldiers were

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.
MEMORABILIA
A Memorabilia Room, located at the third floor of the
Administration 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.

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
Members 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 members 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.

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.
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
72
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015
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 feedback to students;
• student awareness of the QPA and its function as an indicator of
academic achievement or underachievement.
FEU places a premium on the students’ learning journey and the process and
deepening of learning, critical and creative thinking, reflection, and problem-
solving. 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.

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.
Passing Mark
The passing mark for all university courses regardless of program is 50%.
Although the DepEd and many universities have adopted the passing 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 passing mark at UCL is D which is
equivalent to 40-49%. At Seoul National University, the lowest passing mark
is a D- which is equivalent to 63%. At the Singapore Management University
(SMU), the lowest passing mark is a D which has a mark range of 50-52%.

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.
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
n
where qi is the quality point of the letter grade in course i and wi ui u is
i 1 i
n
u qi
i 1 i
QPA .
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).

POLICY ON DRUGS AND
PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE
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 support.
The University will extend support 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.
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.

As part of due process, a student caught in possession of prohibited drugs
and or controlled substances, or any drug paraphernalia, or caught under the
influence of prohibited drugs and or controlled substances will be immediately
subjected to drug test, upon a valid waiver (issued by him or her, or by his/
her parents in case of minor). 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.
The conformity and waiver form is attached and made an integral part of the
Student Handbook. The student needs to fill out the blanks therein, such as
the name of the student, his/ her parent’s name (if minor), the Institute and
Course he/ she is enrolled in, and his/ her ID number. The form is to be ripped
off from the student handbook and submitted to the Institute after the student
(and his/ her parents, in case of minor) shall have filled out all the blanks
therein and signed the same.

THE FEU DANCE COMPANY (FDC)
The FEU Folk Dance Group was formed and conceptualized in 1957 by
Alejandro Roces, National Artist for Literature and then Dean of the Institute
of Arts and Sciences in response to an invitation for schools to present
Philippine folk dances at the Brussels World Fair of 1958. Though the trip did
not materialize initially, 100 dancers were recruited from the entire Physical
Education Department under Alfredo Reyes, son of FEU Founder, Dr. Nicanor
Reyes. Corazon Iñigo, a member of the faculty, became the dance coach.
The group made its debut in the Philippine Folk Dance Festival at the Rizal
Coliseum on October 1, 1957. Of the original 100, the group was reduced to
the most talented 25 members.
The FEU Folk Dance Company finally made it to Europe in 1959 and became
the first Philippine university based group to compete and win in Caceres,
Spain. They even extended their stay to accept a prolonged engagement at the
Sarah Bernhard Theater in Paris. They also got to have an audience with Pope
John XXIII, now a Saint. They received a red carpet welcome when they landed
in Manila.
At present, the FEU Dance Company’s (FDC) goal is to provide students a venue
where they can express and develop their artistic talents in dancing. They are
the only Collegiate Dance Company doing all dance genres namely Classical &
Modern Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz disciplines, Folk dance, Street dance
and Dance Sport.

APPENDICES
Anchored on the core values of Fortitude, Excellence and Uprightness, Far Eastern
University (FEU) believes that its students, administration, faculty and staff should
demonstrate academic integrity at all times. Academic integrity means that the
members 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.

POLICY ON HANDLING AND RESOLVING
COMPLAINTS AGAINST STUDENTS
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
administrative, 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 admitted 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.
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, B
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 administrative sanctions
for serious offenses or violation of rules and regulations which may be applied
upon erring students, as follows:
187
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 STUDENT HANDBOOK
members, 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.
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 administration 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:
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.”
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.
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
189
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 STUDENT HANDBOOK
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.
Breach by the student of his or her own Student and Parents’ Undertaking may
result to exclusion from the University.
In line its formative stance, the penalty of community service (CS) hours may,
on a case to case basis, be imposed by the Student Discipline as principal or
accessory sanction taking into consideration several factors such as, but not
limited to the following:
The penalty of community service hours may be imposed to the erring student
under any of the following circumstances:
190
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015
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:
191
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 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.
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.
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, admit having violated the Student Code of Conduct as charged.
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.
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 admits the misconduct but the Student Discipline
finds the same as appalling), the case will be forwarded to the Committee
on Discipline composed of five members, 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 Committee on Discipline will review the allegations and render a decision
after hearing the testimonies of the witnesses and the supporting 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 support 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 supportive 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.
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 account the following:
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.
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
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.
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.
197
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 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.
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.
