Additional Blended Learning Guidelines effective January 2023
- Further to the guidelines sent last November 7, 2022, we wish to inform all students that the classes of the School of Communication and of the BS Accountancy program will be fully onsite. On the other hand, all PE classes will have once-a-week onsite classes and once-a-week online classes. Therefore, such classes will not follow the odd-even scheme and students may have to make adjustments in their travel/lodging arrangements.
- In view of the announcement of CHED on 16 November 2022 (cf. CMO 16 s2022) requiring in-person classes, requests of students for exemption from attending onsite classes will no longer be accommodated. As the “quasi-hybrid mode” (hyflex) is not mandatory for faculty members, a student who for some reason may not be able to attend an onsite class cannot expect to be shifted to online attendance automatically. The instructor may opt to give that student an alternative activity. Absence from the onsite class will be counted accordingly.
- Specific dates for the odd-even weeks have been identified and will be followed by the faculty members as scheduled. There will be no swapping of odd-even dates.
- The announcement of available classrooms which students may use to attend their online classes while on campus will be released before the 2nd semester begins.
