Regular and Maximum Loads

The regular and maximum load for any particular course per semester is indicated in the corresponding course curriculum.

Leave of Absence

The Dean, for valid reason may grant a leave of absence to a student in good standing upon filing a formal letter.

Students with a valid reason may be allowed to go on leave for one semester or one academic year. A validating examination shall be required to a student for readmission upon his return after more than a year of authorized leave. Students with unauthorized leave of absence will be automatically dropped from the school roll.

Change/Cancellation of Registration

Each student is held responsible for every subject he enrolls in as listed on his registration card.

No subject may be changed or withdrawn, except upon favorable action made by the Dean or his representative on a formal request presented by the student to the faculty adviser.

Students desiring to change or withdraw a subject or subjects must do so not later than tnvo weeks after opening of classes by filling out a Change of Registration form, which must be approved by the Dean's Office and presented to the Treasurer's Office for adjustment of fees on the professor's certification of the student's last day of attendance or non-attendance.

The same procedure shall be followed by students leaving the school before the end of the term. However, Cancellation of Registration with certificate of last date of attendance by the faculty adviser must be filed. Any student who withdraws from the course after the second preliniinarv examination without any valid and justifiable reason shall be given a grade of 5 (failure), if in the judgment of the faculty adviser concerned, his academic work has not been satisfactory. Verbal notification of withdrawal to a faculty member is not sufficient. Formal notice must be forwarded to the Dean's Office for appropriate action.

Withdrawal

A transfer Credential certificate will be signed by the Registrar and issued within two weeks after the filing of the application for transfer to any student in good standing, not Subject to discipline, and his records form his previous school have been received complete and in order. Withdrawal after the second preliminary will be given technical failure if there is no valid reason.

Once the Transfer Credential certificate has been acknowledged receipt by the accepting school, the Foundation terminates its authority to further issuance of his/her records without written consent of the new school.

Transfer Credential is a formal order and an authorization made by the student to forward his record to another school where he plans to transfer. It is a separate form and delivered ahead from the OTR. In compliance with the request, the former school has to act accordingly, the OTP is forwarded to the accepting school, but never to the student, like Form 137.

The Honorable Dismissal is a clearance, signifying that the student has no more obligation or responsibility with the school. The OTR issued to him is for his personal consumption only, and therefore it is not valid for transfer and usually stamped with "Not Valid for Transfer", "Good for DECS only" and the like notation.
