DE LA SALLE LIPA COLLEGE STUDENT HANDBOOK
PREFACE
The College started publishing a Student Handbook in school-year 1993 – 1994.
Since then, numerous changes have been introduced in succeeding editions to
make school policies and procedures more responsive to the needs of the school
community and the challenges of the times.
In case of necessary revisions, however, adjustments would be simply inserted in
future editions. Revisions would come from suggestions solicited from the
different offices and groups in the institution, including the student sector.
Nevertheless, each member of the community is encouraged to provide suggestions
towards the improvement of the handbook’s contents and its implementation.
The policies and procedures contained in this handbook are not intended to limit
individual freedom and aspiration. Instead, each provision seeks to guide a
member of the school community towards the better performance of his or her
role as a Doer, Learner, Sharer/Server and Leader. While the handbook is
admittedly not perfect, it is expected that all sectors at De La Salle Lipa will do their
part in the common objective of building a positive working and learning
environment.

INTRODUCTION
Vision and Mission
To be a sign of faith as an excellent educational institution, sharing in the
Lasallian mission of teaching minds, touching hearts and transforming
lives.
SIGN OF FAITH
To be a sign of faith is for DLSL to be witness to the values of
communion with God and the priority of the gospel in human life, and
be committed to growth in the spirit of faith as described in the
“Foundational Principles of Lasallian Formation”:
The spirit of faith flows from a relationship of communion with the Triune
God who wills to save all people by drawing them into a life-giving communion with
Him and with one another. In the Lasallian tradition, the spirit of faith is a spirit
that allows one to:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
discover God’s active presence in his Word, in men and women, in the
poor, in nature, in history and in ourselves;
judge and evaluate things in the light of the gospel;
search for God’s will in order to carry out His saving plan;
unite one’s actions to the ongoing saving action of God in the world;
and
trust in God’s loving presence and providence when acting or discerning
God’s will.
The spirit of faith is a disposition of the mind and heart that (1) allows
believers to interpret, judge and evaluate reality in the light of the Gospel; (2) moves
and motivates them to contribute actively to the fulfillment of God’s saving plan; (3)
enables them to take necessary risks and act with boldness in accomplishing what is
demanded by each situation, placing their trust in God’s providence to guide, sustain
and make fruitful their efforts.1

EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
An excellent educational institution is one that is dynamic, maintains
quality programs, provides services beyond what is basically required, and
equips its members with the virtues, knowledge and skills necessary to live
productive professional and civic lives anywhere in the world. Because the
institution’s excellence is anchored on Gospel values, this excellence
makes DLSL a sign of faith.
TEACHING MINDS
Teaching minds is empowering members of the Lasallian family to become
lifelong learners who are competent, creative, critical, and committed to
service. It is also the act of promoting a culture of partnership,
collaboration, and co-responsibility for the mission among administrators,
students, faculty and staff. As a community dedicated to education and
informed by the Lasallian spirit, DLSL offers educational experiences that
are collaborative, contextual, dynamic and pedagogically diverse.
TOUCHING HEARTS
Touching hearts for DLSL is the provision of an education that expresses a
genuine care and concern for students in their individuality and uniqueness,
an education that invites them to become their best selves and moves them
to become agents for the transformation of others and of the society to
which they belong.
TRANSFORMING LIVES
Transforming lives pertains to the act of serving as inspiration for others to
live a life of faith, commitment, and service. Inspired by the charism and
vision of our founder, St. John Baptist De La Salle, we become
ambassadors of Christ, spreading the Good News through our actions and
making a difference in the lives of people that we encounter. By creating
concrete programs that serve the poor and provide the less fortunate with
the chance for a better life, an equal opportunity to quality education, and a
renewed relationship with God, DLSL becomes an instrument for the
transformation of life.

A. The First Brothers and La Salle Schools
In April 1651, St. John Baptist De La Salle was born to a wealthy family in
Rheims, France. Although raised and educated with all the privileges that
accompanied his influential social standing, early on in his life, Jean Baptist De
La Salle became disturbed by what he saw in society: widespread poverty and
the plight of poor children who seemed “…so far from salvation” and were
“…often left to themselves and badly brought-up.”
Ordained priest at the age of 27, De La Salle went on to devote himself to the
Christian education of the poor. He began by recruiting young men whom he
trained to become good Christian teachers, went on to found schools for poor
children, and eventually renounced his personal wealth to found a community
of educators which in time became the Brothers of the Christian Schools,
better known in the Philippines as the La Salle Brothers.
Canonized as saint of the Catholic Church in 1900 and proclaimed Patron of
Christian Teachers in 1950, St. John Baptist De La Salle is recognized as the
Father of Modern Education, an educational innovator who continues to be
the guiding spirit that animates every La Salle school. Today, more than three
centuries after their founding, there are more than 10,000 La Salle Brothers
serving the youth in schools, colleges, universities and other institutions in
more than 80 countries throughout the world.
B. The La Salle Brothers in the Philippines
The Brothers first came to the Philippines in 1911, when they established a
small school in Manila which in time grew to become De La Salle University.
Having established a reputation for excellent Christian education, the Brothers
expanded their efforts in the country and established the University of St. La
Salle in Bacolod City (1952), La Salle Academy in Iligan City (1958)
La Salle Green Hills in Mandaluyong City (1959), St. Joseph’s High
School in Bacolod City (1960), and De La Salle Lipa in Lipa City
(1962). Other schools followed, and almost a century after their
arrival in the country, the Lasallian education benefits almost
90,000 students throughout the Philippines.
C. De La Salle Lipa
De La Salle Lipa traces its origins to the Our Lady of the Rosary Academy
(OLRA), a school for boys and girls operated by the Maryknoll Sisters in the
city of Lipa. Having decided to refocus their apostolate in the early 1960s, the
College
Student
Handbook
Sisters arranged for the La Salle Brothers to assume responsibility for the
education of the OLRA boys.
Ground was broken on a seven-hectare plot of land in late 1961, trees cleared
and three classroom buildings, a Brothers’ residence and a covered gym area
were constructed. The new school had 11 spacious classrooms, two science
laboratories, a library, and four administration offices. The following year
opened its doors to the OLRA Boy’s Department with 221 grade school
pupils.
More buildings and other facilities were built, year level offerings expanded,
and in 1974, girls were admitted for the first time. A college department
opened in 1985, and a graduate school in 1996. At present, De La Salle Lipa
has more than 10,000 students in its primary, secondary and tertiary education
divisions, and offers a broad range of basic, two-year certificate, four-year,
five-year undergraduate programs and graduate degree program.
D. The Seal
In school year 2005-2006 and on an interim basis, De La Salle Lipa adopted a
new seal to symbolize its heritage and mission of providing Lasallian education
in the Southern Tagalog region of the Philippines. The seal and its elements
are as follows:
Star of Faith
The Star of Faith, or Signum Fidei, recalls the biblical star
of Bethlehem which led the Magi to the child Jesus (Mt.
2:9 – 10). It reminds every Lasallian of God’s call to be
signs of faith and symbols of God’s love in the world,
especially for the poor.
Shield
The shield, whose four quarters define a cross, represents
the Lasallian’s role as a loyal defender of the Catholic
faith.
Broken Chevrons
Johan Salla, Warrior in Chief of Atphonus the Chaste, King of Oviedo,
expelled the Moors from Urgel and reestablished the Ephiscopal See in 818.
The broken legs he sustained during combat as he fought side by side with
his king are the origins of the broken chevrons on the De La Salle’s coat of
arms.
College
Student
Handbook
Stallion
The stallion is a symbol of Lipa City, which has been known for its fine
horses. It also epitomizes strength, industry, speed and endurance-qualities
expected of every Lasallian.
Coconut Tree
A highly versatile and useful crop that is cultivated throughout the
Philippines, the coconut stands for life, versatility and resourcefulness.
Fan Knife
Another symbol of Batangas province, the fan knife, or balisong, represents
the Batangueños’ industry and craftsmanship.
Banners
The two banners point to De La Salle Lipa’s proud heritage and mission.
They indicate the school’s 1962 founding as a La Salle Brothers’ school in the
Philippines, as well as its goal for its students: Crescit Gratia Virtuteque, or “He
grew in faith and virtue” (Lk 2, 50).
Colors
The colors green and white are traditional to the La Salle Brothers’ schools in
the Philippines. Because many of the pioneer Brothers in the Philippines
were of Irish descent, green represents Ireland, while white represents the
Philippines as the “Pearl of the Orient Sea.”
E. Lasallian Core Values
The Spirit of Faith
The spirit of faith flows from a relationship of communion with the Triune
God who will save all people by drawing them into a lifegiving communion
with Him and with one another in the Lasallian tradition, the spirit of faith is
a spirit that allows one to discover God’s active presence in his Word, in men
and women, in the poor, in nature, in history, and in ourselves judge and
evaluate things in the light of the gospel.
Zeal for the Integral Salvation of All
Zeal is the active expression of faith in gospel witness and service. It is
oriented towards the integral salvation of persons, particularly the poor and
the excluded. Zeal is the enthusiastic and total gift of self for the sake of the
mission expressed in such qualities as gratuity and generosity, creativity and
fortitude, compassion and commitment. It involves a preferential concern
for the poor and the vulnerable. The desire to be of greater service to others
conditions the quest for excellence and continuous self-improvement.
College
Student
Handbook
Communion in Mission, Mission as Communion
Communion recalls the dynamic of association by which the first Brothers
bonded together for the sake of the particular mission entrusted to them by
God. Communion has four dimensions. As a relationship with God, it is the
source of all mission and ministry, as a way of accomplishing mission, it suggests
the solidarity and collaboration that comes from sharing in one vision, one
spirit and one mission; as a way of relating to others, it suggests openness to all
persons and the desire to be brother or sister to all especially those in need;
as a goal of mission, it suggests the unity that comes through reconciliation
between God, human beings and creation.

enrollment?
If you have outstanding financial obligations, your online enrollment
will be blocked by the system. Upon payment of your balance, you may

recognized as De La Salle Lipa equivalent course. Please visit the
Curriculum and Evaluation In-Charge at the OR to update your records
in the system.
5.24. I shifted from another program and some of my courses have been
credited to my new program. Why is the system still looking for them as
pre-requisites?
It is possible that these courses were not yet identified or not yet
recorded as equivalent courses. Please visit the Curriculum and
Evaluation In-Charge at the OR to update the system.
5.25. My academic flowchart indicates that I should take 27 units. But the
system only allows lesser academic units. Why is this happening?
It is possible that the system applied the de-loading of subjects. If you
have failures in the last semester and you have accumulated 15 units or
more but not exceeded the maximum unit for dismissal, then the policy
for de-loading was applied to you i.e. regular load based on the
students’ prescribed academic load minus six units.
Students who do not have failed units on the previous semester will not
be deloaded the next semester. If students are still being deloaded by
the system, they should visit the Curriculum and Evaluation In-Charge
to secure clearance.
5.26. Why can’t I enroll more than what is allowed by the system?
The system blocks enrollment of additional courses because you have
reached the maximum allowable units based on your curriculum. If you
are a graduating student, please visit the Enrollment and Evaluation InCharge at the Office of the Registrar to request for load clearance.
College
Student
Handbook
Only graduating students are allowed to carry an additional of six units
overload as per CHED memorandum.
5.27. Where can I see the prescribed academic load of students per year
level? Where can I get them? Is it downloadable?
You can see your prescribed academic load in your curriculum
prospectus. The academic load prescribed per semester and per year
level is reflected in the curriculum of your program. Copies of which
maybe downloaded from the DLSL Website at www.dlsl.edu.ph,
Registrar’s Office Services tab. For senior students, they are allowed to
carry a total of 21 units during their last curriculum year; they may also
apply for an overload of six more units. However, if the senior level
curriculum is more than 21 units, that maximum number of units will
be considered instead; students may also apply for an overload of six
more units.
5.28. What will happen if I enrolled a course without taking first the prerequisites?
Courses taken out of sequence will not be credited. These will be
automatically dropped from your enrollment during the term without
any refund.
5.29. When can I be charged for payment of my tuition fees?
You may pay your tuition fees as soon as you have your Official
Enrollment Assessment Form (OEAF). Payment without charge will be
up to the last day of enrollment, you may refer to the enrollment
schedule posted at the Registrar’s Bulletin Board and at the DLSL
website.

late enrollees:
P150 if within a week late
P200 if within two weeks late, and
Additional P50 per week thereafter.
5.31. What is the effect of not paying my tuition fees and tutorial fees on
time?

5.32. How else can I pay my tuition fee without having to line up at the
Cashier’s Office?
You can pay your tuition over the counter at the following accredited
banks: RCBC Savings, Robinsons Bank-Lipa. BPI, Chinabank SM Lipa,
Planters Bank and SM Bills Payment (Lipa). Payment will be credited to
your account three days after the actual payment to banks.
5.33. All sections that I intend to enroll are closed. What should I do?
You can choose other courses with available sections. If you really need
the course to be offered as indicated in your curriculum, you could
petition for the opening of a special class. You may visit the Office of
the Registrar on the second week of classes for a special class request.
If you are a graduating student, you may also request for the offering of
a tutorial class of that subject.
5.34. How can we request for a subject offering that is not regularly offered
in a semester?
If you really need to enroll the subject, you may request for a special
class. A special class is the offering of a subject that is not regularly
offered during the current semester. For summer, the minimum class
size is 15 and 25 during the first and second semesters. Students
however are advised not to enlist in a special class if prerequisite
subjects have not yet been taken and passed. Maximum load based on
the curriculum should also be considered in approving the request of
the students. Students should select from their prospective classmates
who will be their Special Class Coordinator or SCC. The coordinator
will process the request and will secure approval from the Department
Chair, Dean, FRD and Office of the Registrar.
5.35. If I am enrolled in a Special Class, can I drop the subject?
No, the student is not allowed to drop the Special Class. Once the
student signed the Special Class Request, this makes the request a
binding agreement between the school and the student to finish the
College
Student
Handbook
course requirement and to pay for the fees as computed by the FRD
Manager. You are advised to see the Registrar if in case the reason for
dropping is highly meritorious.
5.36. The system allows me to join a particular section, but the teacher does
not allow me to join in a course that has the same course code?
Perhaps you are a student enrolled in a program with PRC Board
Licensure Examination. Your college only allows students like you to
join in programs with PRC Board Licensure Examinations also. Please
visit the Enrollment and Evaluation In-Charge at the Office of the
Registrar to make the necessary adjustment on your enrolled subject.
Students enrolled in programs without PRC Board Licensure
Examinations are however advised not to enroll in programs with PRC
Board Licensure Examinations.
5.37. Why can’t I find the equivalent subject that I am planning to enroll? I
ask my adviser/department head and they told me that the course has a
similar description with what I need to enroll.
The course may not be offered or if it is so, the equivalent has not been
applied yet. Visit the Curriculum and Evaluation In-Charge at the
Office of the Registrar to inquire.

student with a grade lower than 75 will receive a mark of
“Repeat”.
1.3. Credit and Grading
1.3.1.
In general, credit for a lecture course is determined by the
number and length of class meetings each week for each
semester. A class meeting three hours a week gives three hours
of credit.
1.3.1.
For Science courses, Engineering laboratory courses,
HRM and other courses with laboratories:
1.3.1.1. A four-unit course will have three unit-credits
for lecture, equivalent to three hours a week
and one unit-credit for laboratory, equivalent
to three hours of laboratory
1.3.1.2. A five-unit course will have four unit-credits
of lecture, equivalent to four hours a week
and one unit-credit for laboratory, equivalent
to three hours of laboratory
1.3.1.3. For Engineering drawing class, one unit credit
is equivalent to three hours of drawing
laboratory
Number of credits and hours rendered for a course will follow
specifications contained in the program prospectus.
1.3.2.
A student’s regular load in any given semester will depend on the
program prescribed by his/her curriculum for that semester. A
student normally carries at least 15 academic units per semester.
Course overloads are generally not permitted. Course overload is
an academic load in excess of the academic load in the
prescribed curriculum in a given semester.
A graduating student who is not under academic probation, may
1.3.3.
request permission to take an overload in a semester. The
request should be submitted to the Registrar. Permission is
granted on a case-to-case basis.
1.3.4.
Only grades in academic courses are included in the computation
of the Grade Point Average (GPA). Grades for courses taken by
transfer students from other schools and for which credit was
granted by DLSL are NOT included in the computation of the
GPA. The semestral GPA refers to the average of the grades in all
academic courses taken in a given semester. The cumulative GPA
refers to the average of grades from the first term in which the
student was enrolled up to the semester just completed.
English Plus and NSTP are not included in the computation of
1.3.5.
GPA. The GPA is computed as follows:
College
Student
Handbook
1.3.5.1. Multiply the course credit granted with the
corresponding grade points received in that course to
arrive at the honor points.
1.3.5.2. Divide the sum of all honor points received by the total
number of credit units taken in the semester. The
GPA is computed and rounded off to two decimal
places.
1.3.5.2. The cumulative GPA is not simply the average of the
term GPAs.

Students who have received a failing grade in a course, but who
subsequently shift to another program for which the course is not
required, need not repeat the subject. The failed subject will,
however, be retained in the student’s records but will be included in
GPA computations.
College
Student
Handbook
1.3.7.
Subjects in Theology and/or Religious Education taken by transferees
in seminaries and/or formation houses will be credited subject to
existing policies and procedures of the Registrar’s Office.
1.4. Dropping and Withdrawal
1.4.1.
A student who officially withdraws from a program prior to the midterm examination will receive a remark of “Dropped” for the course.
1.4.2.
A student who exceeds the maximum number of allowable absences
for a course in a semester will receive a grade of 5.00.
1.4.3.
Tuition refunds for dropped courses will be subject to relevant
school policies in effect at the time of withdrawal.
1.5. Retention Requirement for the Accountancy Program
1.5.1.
In order to be retained in the Accountancy Program, students are
required to take and pass the Accountancy Qualifying Exam at the
end of the first year. To qualify for the exam, the student must have
an average grade of 2.50 for Funacco 1 and 2.
1.5.2.
The student should maintain a grade of 2.50 in all accounting, law
and taxation courses. However, if the student is in his/her fourth
year, he/she may repeat the course until he/she got a grade of 2.50.
1.6. For BSAcT to continue to BSA Program the following will be
considered:
1.6.1.
No grade below 2.0 in all accounting, law and taxation courses.
1.6.2.
In case the student has a grade lower than 2.00, he/she should take
the comprehensive examination on all accounting, law and taxation
subjects and be able to pass it using the zero-based grading system.
1.7. Application for Area of Concentration for Education Students
Before the first semester ends, first year students taking up BSED
1.7.1.
have to decide on the area of specialization that they wish to take. A
final course grade of 2.25 or higher should be obtained in the
following courses: COMSKI1 for English, KOMAKAD for Filipino,
FUNMATH for Mathematics and KASAPIL for Social Science.
1.7.2.
There are no specific grade requirements for BEED since students
are basically expected to have an interest and/or aptitude for their
chosen field/area of specialization.
1.8. Academic Dismissal
Courses in which a student received a grade of 5.00 are recorded and
1.8.1.
accumulated for purposes of academic deliberations. If a course in
which a student received a grade of 5.00 is repeated, and a grade of

NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM
Mission
The National Service Training Program (NSTP) aims for a holistic formation of
Lasallian students through community service learning. It upholds the concept of
“learning by serving” through molding students to become Doers, Learners,
Sharers and Leaders who work for and with the community.
Vision
We, at NSTP, envision students to carry on the flame of community service even
after taking the course.
De La Salle Lipa implements the National Service Training Program (NSTP) as a
curriculum requirement for all college students under Republic Act (RA) 9163. It is
intended to make the Lasallian youth conscious of their role in nation-building. It
reminds them that it is the responsibility of all citizens to contribute to the stability
and security of the state through civil and/or military service.
1. The NSTP Components:
1.1. Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) refers to the program component or
activities contributory to the general welfare and the betterment of life for the
members of the community or the enhance of its facilities, especially those
devoted to improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship,
safety, recreation, and moral of the citizenry and other social welfare services.
1.2. Literacy Training Service (LTS)
Literacy Training Service (LTS) refers to the program component designed to
train students to teach literacy and numeracy skills to school children, out-ofschool youths and other segments of society in need of their services.
1.3. Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) refers to the program component,
institutionalized under Sections 38 and 39 of Republic Act No. 7077, designed
to provide military training to tertiary level students in order to motivate, train,
organize and mobilize them for national defense preparednes.The ROTC

Student
Handbook
component is designed to provide military training in order to motivate, train,
organize, and mobilize students for national defense preparedness.ROTC may
be offered in De La Salle Lipa provided that there are at least 350 student
cadets enrolled in the course. (RA 9163, Rule 3, Section 4e)
2.
NSTPone is a course designed to enhance the civic consciousness of the
students by developing the value of service and commitment for the welfare of
life of the members of community. It gives the students an overview of their
role in nation building and develops their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual
and social well being needed to be able to render fruitful and meaningful
service to their community in accordance with the Lasallian Core Values (Faith,
Service & Communion in Mission). The course aims to orient, form and train
students to be involved in programs or activities contributory to the general
welfare and betterment of life for the members of the community or the
enhancement of its facilities (RA No. 9163, Section 3,d). It includes lectures,
film viewing and review, group sharing and discussions, Community Service
Learning (CSL) and other social services. There are lecture sessions focusing
on the required common module topics pursuant to RA 9136, which include
citizenship training, drug education, environmental protection, disaster risk
reduction and management, national security concerns and peace education.
There are also short-term field exposures to apply the concepts and theories
learned.
3.
NSTPwo is a course designed for Community Service Learning (CSL) to realize
the aims of Community Immersion. It is an important requirement of NSTP
prescribed to students, male and female in private and public higher education
institutional and technical-vocational schools (RA 9163, Sec 7). It is the
practicum-based element of NSTP where lessons learned and acquired in
NSTPone are applied in the enhancement of trainees’ capabilities, civic
consciousness and defense preparedness in the service of the nation.
Community Service Learning (CSL) is a strategy of Community immersion to
imbibe among the NSTP trainees a better understanding and realization of the
different community concerns through exposure on actual life situations
specially deprived, depressed, and unprivileged (DDU) communities. These
experiences will allow them to integrate with other people who may facilitate
them to undergo certain changes that will make them civic-conscious and
socially responsible citizens.
Through the CWTS & LTS components, NSTPtwo aims to strengthen the
students’ active participation and involvement in the programs and activities
intended to uplift the different dimensions of development in the community

SECTION XIII
LANGUAGE LEARNING CENTER
The Language Learning Center (LLC) of De La Salle Lipa was established in
School Year 2007-2008. Supportive of the School’s mission and created under the
Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academics and Research, its primary goal is to
address the felt need for a learning assistance program towards enabling foreign or
international students and/or returning Filipino enrollees a greater chance to finish
their respective degree programs, or simply, maximize their learning opportunities
during their stay at De La Salle Lipa.
This goal is extended to include takers of non-credit English or Filipino learning
sessions in the College Division. An incidental yet significant feature of the
Language Learning Center is the fostering of Filipino Culture while creating an
atmosphere of sharing and respect of others’ culture as well.
Specifically, the Center intends to facilitate or enhance the learning of:
A. Filipino Language – for the returning Filipino students who, upon coming
back home, finds coping-up in Filipino and Social Science subjects (taught
in Filipino) too challenging. Foreign or international students needing to
pass or are interested in said subjects are likewise included.
B. English Language – for which it serves as a second or foreign language.
In the College Division, an English Proficiency Program (EPP) for Local Students
started last April 14, 2012 and a number of short-term non-credit courses i.e.
Bridge-all under Special Programs are offered.
Implementation Approaches/Highlights
Foreign students, after accommodation or admission by the Institutional
Admissions and Testing Office, are interviewed at the Office of the Language
Learning Center. Their language-related needs are thus initially assessed. Likewise,
their reading/grammar proficiency levels are determined. Achievement Tests, if so
demanded especially for those who have had tutorial sessions will be administered.
Based on the results of the test, feedback and interview, appropriate program will
be given. Availability of tutors and clientele’s schedule are taken into consideration.
Tutors can come from DLSL.
Key Elements of Language Learning Center
At the Language Learning Center, we:
• Know our students well enough

Sexual Harassment is any unwanted and unwelcome behavior of

ability to work, get an education, or do a ministry. (www.mcc.org)
2 Types of Sexual Harassment
a. quid pro quo- sexual harassment happens
when the harasser demands sexual favors as a
condition for hiring or promotion, or in the
academic environment, as a condition for
passing the exam or the subject. (Legal and
College
Student
Handbook
b.
Labor Issues in Education Law by: Ulpiano “Ulan”
P. Sarmiento III)
hostile work environment- an environment
can be so offensive or hostile so as to
interfere with a person’s ability to work. A
hostile environment does not always involve a
person with formal power such as an
administrator or faculty member; peer-to-peer
harassment such as by co-worker, colleagues
and students can be involved in creating a
hostile environment. All the behaviors such
as the sexual innuendos, bantering, unwanted
touching, sexual obscenities, computer
harassment,
exhibiting
pornographic
materials, and the like, can create a hostile
environment. Even behavior that is not
sexual but is demeaning, insulting or
intimidating on the basis of sex (e.g. verbal
abuse, derogatory comments about women in
general or physical threats) can constitute a
hostile environment. (Students’ Rights & Wrongs
by: Ulpiano “Ulan” P. Sarmiento III)

AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in
Congress assembled:
SECTION 1. Title. - This Act shall be known as the "Anti-Sexual Harassment Act
of 1995."
SECTION 2. Declaration of Policy. - The State shall value the dignity of every
individual, enhance the development of its human resources, guarantee full respect
for human rights, and uphold the dignity of workers, employees, applicants for
employment, students or those undergoing training, instruction or education.
Towards this end, all forms of sexual harassment in the employment, education or
training environment are hereby declared unlawful.
SECTION 3. Work, Education or Training -Related, Sexual Harassment Defined. Work, education or training-related sexual harassment is committed by an

environment, demands, requests or otherwise requires any sexual favor from the
other, regardless of whether the demand, request or requirement for submission is
accepted by the object of said Act.

or in the employment, re-employment or continued
employment of said individual, or in granting said
individual favorable compensation, terms of conditions,
promotions, or privileges; or the refusal to grant the
sexual favor results in limiting, segregating or classifying
the employee which in any way would discriminate,
deprive or diminish employment opportunities or
otherwise adversely affect said employee;
(2) The above acts would impair the employee's rights or
privileges under existing labor laws; or
(3) The above acts would result in an intimidating, hostile,

scholarships, or the payment of a stipend, allowance or
other benefits, privileges, or consideration; or
(4) When the sexual advances result in an intimidating,
hostile or offensive environment for the student, trainee
or apprentice.
Any person who directs or induces another to commit any act of sexual
harassment as herein defined, or who cooperates in the commission thereof by
another without which it would not have been committed, shall also be held liable
under this Act.
SECTION 4. Duty of the Employer or Head of Office in a Work-related, Education or
Training Environment. - It shall be the duty of the employer or the head of the workrelated, educational or training environment or institution, to prevent or deter the

(a) Promulgate appropriate rules and regulations in consultation with and
joint1y approved by the employees or students or trainees, through their duly

include, among others, guidelines on proper decorum in the workplace and
educational or training institutions.
(b) Create a committee on decorum and investigation of cases on sexual

APPENDIX D
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
Plagiarism and Collaboration2
All homework assignments, projects, lab reports, papers and examinations
submitted to a course are expected to be the student’s own work. Students should
always take great care to distinguish their own ideas and knowledge from
information derived from sources. The term “sources” includes not only primary
and secondary material published in print or online, but also information and
opinions gained directly from other people.
The responsibility for learning the proper forms of citation lies with the
individual student. Quotations must be placed properly within quotation marks and
must be cited fully. In addition, all paraphrased material must be acknowledged
completely. Whenever ideas or facts are derived from a student’s reading and
research or from a student’s own writings, the sources must be indicated (see also
Submission of the Same Work to More Than One Course below.)
A computer program written to satisfy a course requirement is, like a
paper, expected to be the original work of the student submitting it. Copying a
program from another student or any other source is a form of academic
dishonesty; so is deriving a program substantially from the work of another.
The amount of collaboration with others that is permitted in the
completion of assignments can vary, depending upon the policy set by the head of
the course. Students must assume that collaboration in the completion of
assignments is prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the instructor. Students
must acknowledge any collaboration and its extent in all submitted work.
Students are expected to be familiar with the booklet entitled Writing with
Sources, which they receive at the writing placement test in September of freshman
year, and is available at www.fas.harvard.edu/~expos/sources. Students who are in
any doubt about the preparation of academic work should consult their instructor
and Allston Burr Senior Tutor or Assistant Dean Academic Information 61 of
Freshmen before the work is prepared or submitted.
Students who, for whatever reason, submit work either not their own or
without clear attribution to its sources will be subject to disciplinary action, and
ordinarily required to withdraw from the College.

Student
Handbook
Submission of the Same Work to More Than One Course
It is the expectation of every course that all work submitted will have been
done solely for that course. If the same or similar work is to be submitted to any
other course, the prior written permission of the instructor must be obtained. If the
same or similar work is to be submitted to more than one course during the same
term, the prior written permission of all instructors involved must be obtained. A
student who submits the same or similar work to more than one course without
such prior permission is subject to disciplinary action, and ordinarily will be
required to withdraw from the College.
Students are urged to consult their Allston Burr Senior Tutor or Assistant
Dean of Freshmen or the instructors involved with questions concerning this
important matter (see also Preparation of Papers and Other Work: Plagiarism and
Collaboration above).
Tutoring Schools and Term Paper Companies
In keeping with the principle that all material submitted to a course
should be the student’s own work, any undergraduate who makes use of the
services of a commercial tutoring school or term paper company is liable to
disciplinary action. Students who sell lecture or reading notes, papers, or
translations or who are employed by a tutoring school or term paper company are
similarly liable and may be required to withdraw. If a student wishes to accept
compensation for private tutoring in Harvard courses, prior written permission of
the Dean of the College is required.
Official Forms and Petitions
Students should understand that providing false or misleading
information or signing any other person’s name or initials on a study card, Plan of
Study, change-of-course petition, registration form, or on any other official form or
petition will make them subject to disciplinary action, including requirement to
withdraw.
