• The student informs/contacts the Program Adviser that she/he is enrolling for residency: Academic/Non-
Academic.

The undergraduate residency comes in two forms—the Academic Residency and the Non-Academic
Residency. Those who are on academic residency are deemed as bonafide students for the covered term.
Students on residency will have their IDs validated for the covered term.

The Academic Residency (AR) is intended for students who have no other course to enroll in their program
but need to enter the campus for consultation with faculty members. An example would be a student whose
thesis has been deferred.
It is important to note that a student who does not intend to enroll for a specific term for whatever reason,
but still has remaining units to enroll, is not allowed to enroll in Academic Residency, but should file for a Leave
of Absence (LOA).
A student on LOA may not enter the campus. As such, no residency, whether academic or non-academic, shall
be granted to students on LOA.
Students not enrolled but need to frequently enter the campus shall be required to enroll in undergraduate
residency.

Non-Academic Residency (NAR) is intended for students who need to enter the campus for co-curricular
activities, as determined by the Dean of Student Affairs. The NAR is intended for the summer term only.
A student, on his own, may not enroll for NAR. It is the Director of Student Affairs who initiates enrollment
for NAR.
On the other hand, enrollment in NAR results from an office-to-office transaction involving the Dean of
Student Affairs and the College Registrar.

TRANSFEREES must have at least one (1) year residency before graduation.

2. Maximum Residence

The Maximum Residence Rule (MRR) states that students who fail to finish the requirements of a degree
program of any college within a prescribed period of actual residence shall not be allowed to register further in
that college. Under meritorious cases, extension of residency may be granted. The Program Head/Dean of each
Program shall designate the approving authority for such extensions. Each extension granted shall be reported

of students. The GSO aims to help students cope with their academic, personal, social, and career

4. Economic Enterprise Development

Student economic enterprises are initiatives that would cater to the economic needs of students
such as student loans, financial assistance, and financial literacy.

5. Student Handbook Development

The student handbook is a valuable resource that contains important information about the
college's policies, procedures, and services. It also outlines the rights and responsibilities of
students as members of the academic community. The handbook will be distributed to all students
during their initial orientation session at the university. Students are expected to read the
handbook carefully and keep it for future reference.

B. Student Development

Student development is a program that provides activities designed for cultivating leadership and
social responsibility. These include student organizations and activities that foster teamwork, collaboration,
and community involvement; leadership training programs that equip students with the knowledge and
tools to lead effectively and ethically; student council/government that represent the voice and interests of
the student body; student discipline that promotes self-regulation, respect, and accountability; and student
publication that encourages creativity, expression, and critical thinking.

1. Student Organizations and Activities

The college recognizes the importance of student participation in various campus activities that
enhance their academic, social, and civic development. Therefore, the college grants students the
right to create, support, or join any campus organization, alliance or federation that aligns with the
college’s Vision, Mission, Goals/Objectives (VGMO). Such organizations, alliances, or federations
must register with the Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) annually, adhere to the college’s
policies and regulations, and respect the rights and responsibilities of other members of the college
community.

The college strictly prohibits any fraternities and sororities and similar groups on campus.

Students are expected to adhere to the academic and behavioral standards set by the college as well as
the laws and regulations of the society. When students violate these rules, they may face disciplinary
actions that range from warnings to expulsion, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.

students learn from their mistakes, develop responsibility and integrity, and respect the rights and
dignity of others.

the well-being of other students. By transferring to a different institution, students can seek an
educational environment that better aligns with their needs and expectations.
Additionally, the school strictly prohibits any fraternities and sororities on campus. We
strongly encourage all students to uphold a culture of respect and positivity, fostering a
conducive and safe learning environment for everyone involved. If you have any questions or

v. Academic Integrity

Any infractions within this domain, such as plagiarism, cheating, fabrication,


academic dishonesty, unauthorized collaboration, exam misconduct, academic
sabotage, improper citations, and unauthorized access, will be promptly addressed
and handled accordingly.

In the case of a student sending/posting a harassing message to their instructor,


it would be considered a violation of conduct and academic integrity. This type of
behavior is unacceptable and goes against the principles of respect, professionalism,
and appropriate communication within an educational setting. The school maintains
a strong commitment to upholding academic honesty and ensuring a fair and equitable
learning environment. We emphasize the importance of maintaining high ethical
standards and personal integrity in all academic pursuits. It is the responsibility of
every student to uphold the principles of academic honesty and contribute to a culture
of integrity within our school community.

Here is a disciplinary matrix outlining the consequences for violations within


this domain:

xii. Parking Violations

These violations are related to the rules and regulations regarding parking on
campus or in designated areas. Violations may include parking in unauthorized areas,
parking without a permit, parking in reserved spaces, exceeding time limits, blocking
access or emergency routes, or other violations specific to the parking regulations in place.

Designated Parking Areas:

• Designated parking areas for students are exclusively located outside the
campus premises.
• Accessible parking options for individuals with disabilities are available
both inside and outside the campus premises.

Exemptions:

In situations where vehicles are carrying heavy materials for the school,
they may be allowed to enter the campus but must promptly leave after delivering
the said materials. This policy acknowledges the need for logistical support and the
transport of essential materials. However, to maintain a safe and orderly campus
environment, it is necessary to limit the presence of vehicles that are not directly
involved in ongoing operations or deliveries.

Therefore, vehicles carrying heavy materials will be granted temporary


access to the campus for the purpose of delivery. Once the delivery is completed,

36
BOT Resolution No. 33 s. 2023
TPC STUDENT HANDBOOK_v3.0

these vehicles are required to exit the campus promptly, minimizing disruption to
traffic flow and parking availability.

It is crucial for drivers of such vehicles to adhere to designated routes and


parking areas specified by the school. Failure to comply with these regulations may
result in penalties, including loss of access privileges or disciplinary actions. By
implementing this policy, the school aims to strike a balance between facilitating
necessary deliveries and ensuring the smooth functioning of the campus
environment.
