SUBJECT: FINAL EXAMS FOR THE FIRST SEMESTER AY 2009-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------

At its 173rd meeting held today, the Executive Committee (EC) decided 
 that final examinations (adjusted as of 29 September 2009) will be 
 administered as scheduled. However, in view of the recent calamity 
 that affected a number of our students and faculty, faculty members 
 may grant students who were severely affected by Typhoon Ondoy the 
 following considerations:

1) If the student is not prepared to take the final exam within 
 the given period the faculty members may:

a) administer the final exam at a later date (only for the student 
 concerned); or

b) provide an alternative requirement to the final exam; or

c) give an INC.

2) In case an INC is given for a course that is a prerequisite for a course 
 that has to be taken in the next semester, the student may request a waiver 
 to be allowed to enroll in the next course.  This request should be 
 addressed to the University Registrar, to be endorsed first by the 
 student's registration adviser and the College Secretary.


For your guidance.
