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,

Michael M. Alba, PhD


President

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, 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.

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. Limit the amount of time spent outdoors.


2. Drink plenty of water. Avoid tea, coffee, soda, and alcohol.
3. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and light clothing when outdoors.
4. 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 contact 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
• 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.

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. Help FEU’s Security and Safety Office
by following these guidelines:

• Avoid carrying/wearing/displaying expensive accessories, gadgets, and


large amounts of money.
• Always walk with company and avoid dark streets especially at night.
• Familiarize yourself with the location of nearest stations/posts of
authorities like police, barangay, and campus security officers
• Do not entertain or accept any assistance from unknown person/s,
especially when outside the campus.
• Park car at safe places. Lock before leaving. Do not leave valuable
belongings inside the car.
• Keep yourself alert when walking in crowded places or when taking public
utility vehicles (e.g., jeep, bus, FX, etc).
• Always save/secure emergency contact numbers.
• Immediately inform proper authorities when witnessing an ongoing crime.
• Seek help or report to the nearest security personnel if you notice suspicious-
looking person/s within the University premises or immediate perimeter.

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.
Remember that “whoever wins in a rat race is still a rat.” Remember, 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 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.

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 supporter 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.”

UNIVERSITY FONT

FEU 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.

26
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015
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
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.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

POLICIES ON ADMISSION

Freshmen Admissions
Admission and enrollment to the university is a contractual relationship
between the student and the university whereby the student agrees to abide
by the rules and regulations of the institution.

A. Admission of freshmen to the university requires the following:


1. Satisfactory completion of secondary education or its equivalent,
e.g. Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) or a Non-Formal
Equivalency test both given by the Department of Education.

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 joint 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

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.

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 members 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 members 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

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.

Formative and Summative Assessments

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.

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.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT


• Quiz (short-long) • Departmental exams (Pen and paper)
• Seatwork – unit, chapter, preliminary and final

73
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 STUDENT HANDBOOK
Ratio of Formative to Summative Assessments

The ratio of formative to summative assessments are as follows:

For General Education courses:


70% of the grade should be formative and 30% should be summative.

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.

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.

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 feedback 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 feedback 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.

Passing Mark

The passing mark for all university courses regardless of program is 50%.

The passing mark is a representation of acceptable levels of achievement.


A high passing mark does not ensure quality learning. Quality learning is
ensured by sound assessment that measures higher-order thinking skills. A
passing 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 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%.

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


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

enrichment course that is outside of their curriculum. They will not be allowed
to take the enrichment course alongside academic requirements of their
curriculum. 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 pass 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 admitted 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.
A GPA of 3.6 or better is required for students who are admitted in the
program starting school year 2013-2014.

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 user and sells drugs to
support 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 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.

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 support 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.

95
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 STUDENT HANDBOOK
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.

In accordance with the University’s Policy on Drugs and Prohibited Substance,


the student upon his acceptance at the University is required to execute a
conformity and waiver form which states the following:

1. that he/ she is a student of FEU;


2. that he/ she has read and understood the University’s Policy on
Prohibited Drugs and Controlled Substances;
3. that he conforms to and support said policy;
4. that with full knowledge of his/ her rights under the law, he/ she
allows himself/ herself to be subjected to any drug or medical testing
in accordance with said policy;
5. that he/ she shall not file any claim or action of whatever nature
against the University and/ or its officers after submitting himself/
herself to the drug testing; and
6. that he/ she shall abide by whatever decision rendered by the
management in consonance with the results of the tests.

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.

POLICY ON FRATERNITIES

The University prohibits membership of its students in fraternities, sororities,


and other organizations operating within the University premises which are not
recognized by FEU.

As a pre-requisite for admission to the University, all freshmen and transferee


students are required to execute the Statement and Undertaking which states
the following:

1. The student is not a member of any organization operating within


the University premises which is not registered with the Far Eastern

not join and or shall not participate in any organization not recognized by
the University;

3. The student acknowledges and understands that the student’s admission


into the University is a privilege and that the University has the right and
the authority to choose the persons or individuals that may be admitted
as students of the University;

4. The student acknowledges and understands that the University has


likewise the authority to prescribe rules and regulations governing
non-membership of the students in any organization in the University.
Pursuant to its right to academic freedom, the University may withhold
recognition to organizations, existence of which is considered inimical to
the maintenance of peace and order in the school campus;

97
FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015 STUDENT HANDBOOK
5. The student recognizes and accepts that the student’s continued stay in
the University is subject to compliance with prescribed disciplinary rules
and regulations, especially those on non-membership in fraternities,
sororities or organizations not recognized by the University, the policies
relating to prohibited drugs and substance, and the policies relating to
other illegal and immoral activities that may destroy the integrity of the
University;

6. The student undertakes to abide by whatever University rules and


regulations;

7. The student understands that the University can dismiss the student
if the student is found to have falsely certified to any conditions of the
Statement and Undertaking; and

8. The student executes and submits the Statement and Undertaking as a


prerequisite of the student’s admission in the University.

The Statement and Undertaking shall be signed by the student and his/ her
parents or guardian (if student is a minor).

The Student Code of Conduct provides in its Article 1, Section 14 that:


“Students shall not be involved in any form of hazing, or any activity, including,
but not limited to, coercion, threats which may result in actual or threatened
infliction of harm and physical injury upon the person of their fellow students,
faculty members or employees of the University. Students shall neither
be members nor recruit others to become members of organizations not
recognized by the University.”

Moreover, Article VIII of the Student Code of Conduct classifies “hazing and
or recruitment to fraternities, sororities, or other organizations not recognized
by the University” and “involvement in fraternity-related disorders” as grave
offenses under Section 2(c) (6) and section 2 (c) (8), respectively.

Thus, the University considers the following act as prohibited:

a. Membership in a fraternity, sorority, or other organizations not


recognized by the University. This includes membership in any
unrecognized organization that subscribes or participate in any violent
act;

98
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015
b. Recruiting others to become members of fraternity, sorority, or other
organizations not recognized by the University. This includes the act
of encouraging students to violate their Non-Fraternity Contracts
(Statement and Undertaking) by inviting them to join a fraternity,
sorority, or any organization not recognized by the University;

c. Hazing; and

d. Involvement in fraternity-related disorders. This includes brawls,


direct assaults, inflicting physical injuries or causing death,
threatening another, and any kind of provocation that results in
heated verbal or physical confrontation between students and groups
of students.

The University adopts the definition of hazing under Sec. 1 of Republic Act No.
8049 (Anti-Hazing Law), to wit: “an initiation rite or practice as a prerequisite
for admission into membership in a fraternity, sorority or organization by
placing the recruit, neophyte or applicant in some embarrassing or humiliating
situations such as forcing him to do menial, silly, foolish and other similar tasks
or activities or otherwise subjecting him to physical or psychological suffering
or injury”. For this purpose, the members who were present shall be liable
whether they actually participated or not. The officers of the organizations,
society or group, shall also be liable, whether or not they are present during
the hazing incident.

FEU STUDENT’S RIGHTS

The Far Eastern University (FEU) has the implicit or “built-in” obligation of
providing students with atmosphere that promotes or assists in attaining its
primary undertaking of imparting knowledge. It is the legal responsibility of
the University to ensure that adequate steps are taken to maintain peace and
order within the campus premises and to prevent the breakdown thereof.

The student while in FEU, is in the custody and hence, the responsibility of the
University authorities as long as the student is under the control and influence
of the University, whether the semester has not yet begun or has already
ended, or even if the student is just relaxing in the campus in the company of
his classmates.

The student, by enrolling and attending the University, places himself/herself


under the custodial supervision and disciplinary authority of the University
authorities, which is the basis of the University’s correlative responsibility
for the student’s torts, committed while under the University’s disciplinary
authority.

Hence, the FEU student is expected to exhibit a high degree of maturity and
personal integrity; he/she is entitled to his/her rights with corresponding
obligations, and is therefore responsible for his/her own actions. That being
stated, hereunder are the rights of FEU students.

A. ACADEMIC RIGHTS

Section 1. Academic Freedom

a. Students have the right to choose their field of study from among existing
curricula without prejudice to the pre-existing requirements for admission
in certain programs of the University.
b. Students shall express their opinion inside and outside the classroom in a
respectful manner and subject to existing University policy.
c. Student shall resort to procedures, as provided for in the Students’
Handbook, for the redress of their grievances concerning faculty, grades,
class policies, and other academic-related matters.

Art and culture are alive in FEU! No less than the office of the University’s chief

calendar of cultural activities including but not limited to art exhibits, campus
tours, film screenings, lectures, performances and workshops.

The PCC nurtures seven cultural groups (CGs) who perform on and off campus.
To enhance the arts atmosphere on campus, the CGs give regular “pocket

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.

Academy, the Lyceum of the Philippines, the University of Makati, San Beda
College and the Rizal Technological University. They competed in tandem with

of the University of Santo Tomas. The FDC won the 2014 Folk Dance
Competition sponsored by the Bayanihan National Folk Dance Company in the
Cultural Center of the Philippines which paved the way for their participating
and winning third place in the Cheonan World Folk Dance Competition in
Korea in October, 2015. In 2018, the FDC Street Alliance won the UAAP Street
Dance Competition.

The FDC has collaborated in performances with Ballet Philippines, the


Flamenco group of Clara Ramona & Company, ethnic artists Grace Nono
and Bob Aves, the STEPS Dance Studio, the CHO NAM GYU SONG JONG EUN
DANCE COMPANY from KOREA and dancers from the School of the Arts from
Singapore. Company dancers have performed with GMA 7’s Billy Crawford’s
Movers and QTV’s May Trabaho Ka “Game Girls.”

THE FEU THEATER GUILD

The FEU Theater Guild’s (FTG) forerunner, the FEU Dramatic Guild, was
founded in 1934 under the patronage of no less than the FEU founder himself,
Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr. The Dramatic Guild was organized by Professor Sarah K.
Joaquin, one of the pioneers in the Philippines of school-based theater training
and stage productions.

With the Philippine Educational Theater Association-trained Edward “Dudz”


Teraña as artistic director, the FTG stages at least two plays per semester which
are always crowd drawers and not just from the FEU community.

Though the FTG’s main presentation venue remains to be the fabled FEU
Auditorium, which was the country’s first Cultural Center, it also performs in
other venues within FEU.

The FTG won twice in the University of the Philippines’ Curtain Call Theater
Competition, most recently in 2014 where it bagged the Best Play, Best Actor
and Best Actress. The FTG also participated in the first Manila Fringe Festival
in 2015 with sold-out performances at the College of St. Benilde. The FTG
production of “Bata sa Drum” was part of the Virgin Lab Fest (VLF) of 2016 at
the Cultural Center of the Philippines and was selected to be one of three plays
which was restaged in the 2017 VLF.

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, 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.

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.

184
FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY FEU/A-SDEV-QSM.01 Rev. No. 00 Effectivity Date: June 1, 2015
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 remember 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.

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
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.

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, 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:

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 admission 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 members, administrators, or staff

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.

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 members of the
University community, regardless of whether the violation occurred off-
campus, 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 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:

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 admitted to any college or unit or any academic or non-
academic program of the University, whether enrolled or not, or has
complied with all the requirements for graduation in the program
where the person was admitted, 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

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.

B. Community Service Hours

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:

1. nature of and the circumstances surrounding the violation


2. inherent gravity of the offense committed by the student
3. respondent’s prior disciplinary record
4. character and position of the complainant or aggrieved party
5. precedent cases
6. safety concerns of the University
7. pertinent and applicable aggravating and mitigating circumstances

The penalty of community service hours may be imposed to the erring student
under any of the following circumstances:

1. In cases when suspension or dismissal is no longer feasible


a. Student is on his last term with the University
b. Student cannot be suspended because he is under the student
apprenticeship program

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:

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.

Community service hours may be offset by attendance to the Tamaraw


Advocacy, Learning Experiences and Services (TALES) programs, and such other
training, educational programs and seminars, as well as socio-cultural activities
conducted by the Academic Services departments, the Academic Institutes,
and the student organizations, upon proper and prior coordination with
the Student Discipline. 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.

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.

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, admit having violated the Student Code of Conduct as charged.

If the student admits 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 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 student respondent shall have the following rights:

1. To be informed of the charges against him or her;


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

In every administrative 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 administrative 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 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.

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 account the following:

1. nature of and the circumstances surrounding the violation


2. inherent gravity of the offense committed by the student
3. respondent’s prior disciplinary record
4. character and position of the complainant or aggrieved party
5. precedent cases
6. safety concerns of the University
7. 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 in-
charge (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 admit 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

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.

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.
