Any student who, for unavoidable cause, absents himself from class must obtain an excuse slip from the Dean. The slip must be presented to the instructor concerned not later than the second class session following the student's return. In addition, a certificate must be secured from the UPLB Health Service in case the absence is due to illness.

Excuses are for time missed only. All work covered by the class during the absence shall be made up to the satisfaction of the instructor within a reasonable time from the date of absence.

When the number of hours lost by absence of a student reaches 20 percent of the hours of the scheduled work in one subject, he shall be dropped from the subject. However, a faculty member may prescribe a longer attendance requirement to meet special needs.

Time lost by late enrollment shall be considered as time lost by absence.
