Course Policies:

Academic Integrity CELP values include discipline, integrity, social responsibility, compassion, excellence, respect for nature and nationalism.
Students are expected to value the importance of education and should recognize that such involves hard work and sacrifice.
Academic dishonesty— whether in the form of plagiarism (intentional or unintentional), cheating in exams and assignments, non-contribution to the group project, or the like–
shall not be tolerated and shall strictly be subjected to the penalties indicated in the College Student Handbook.
Tardiness A student who incurs more than 12 hours of absences or twenty (20) percent of the prescribed number of class periods during the semester would be given a failing grade and
given no credit for the course or subject. A student may be accepted in class even if he/she arrives late provided that it is not more than 25% of the class/session. A recorded
tardiness is considered 1/3-absence, which if added to two other recorded tardiness will be equivalent to a full absence recorded against a student.
Use of Mobile Devices Once inside the classroom, the student is expected to focus on his role as a learner. Distractions should be avoided. Students are not allowed to use mobile phones, tablets, or
other gadgets in class. Mobile phones should be switched off or placed in silent mode.
Make-Up Quizzes/ Exams No make-up quiz shall be given to a student who is absent for the class period. For pre-discussion quizzes administered at the beginning of the class period, students are not
allowed to enter the classroom in the middle of the quiz. Latecomers are advised to wait outside the classroom until the students present are finished taking the quiz. No make-up
quiz shall be given to latecomers. For long exams, make-up exams may be given only upon presentation of an approved Application for Excuse Absence.
For students who are unable to take the Prelim, Midterm or the Final Exams, an approved Application for Excuse Absence and an approved Application for Special Examination
should be submitted to the instructor before the make-up exam can be scheduled and administered.
Group Contribution in The groupings for the project/s shall be determined at the beginning of the semester. Once assigned to a group, students shall not, under any circumstance, be allowed to switch
Project/s groups. Students are expected to exercise teamwork and contribute meaningfully to the group project. A duly accomplished peer evaluation form shall be submitted by each
group member along with the group’s written report.
Consultation If needed, students are highly encouraged to schedule consultation with the faculty within the consultation schedule provided. Such shall be conducted at the consultation area in
the Business Incubator facility.

Others Both student and faculty are responsible for maximization of class contact hours to ensure satisfaction of course learning outcomes.
Once the class period has started, no one is allowed to leave the classroom, unless officially requested by the Administration Office and/or allowed by the instructor.
Leaving the classroom at any time within the scheduled class period, whether for short or extended periods of time, is strongly discouraged.
Students should go to the toilet before or after class, or during the scheduled break within 3-hour class periods.
