Study Notes

Policies on Instructional Delivery

The College adopts a Hybrid Enriched Virtual Mode (EVM) mode for AY 2023-2024. This model combines a blended approach to learning that incorporates both digital and physical classroom experiences, facilitating greater flexibility and accessibility for students in various learning scenarios.
EVM includes scheduled online classes with specific dates, complemented by onsite classes that ensure students have opportunities for direct interaction and collaboration with peers and instructors. This dual structure enhances engagement and provides diverse learning experiences catering to different student needs and preferences.
The available modes of EVM are synchronous (Zoom or Google Meet) and asynchronous (UST Cloud through CANVAS). Synchronous classes, held in real-time, encourage participation and immediate feedback, whereas asynchronous methods allow students to access materials and complete assignments conveniently, contributing to self-paced learning.
Weekly Class Expectation (WCE) will guide course specifics, including attendance, participation criteria, and assessment schedules. This framework establishes a routine that effectively supports students in managing their academic responsibilities.

Policy on Good Grooming

Good grooming policies are aligned with UST's Code of Conduct (PPS 1027), underscoring the importance of professionalism and fostering a respectful learning environment. These standards are integral to maintaining the institution’s values and the integrity of the academic community.
Compliance with the prescribed college uniform, authorized shoes, identification (ID), and hairstyle is mandatory, reflecting the institution’s commitment to a cohesive and disciplined student body that presents itself positively to peers, faculty, and guests.

Uniform Regulations

Type-A Uniform (Start of Academic Year until Ash Wednesday, Resuming after the 3rd Term)

Wear a plain white undershirt with the uniform to ensure a neat and professional appearance. To maintain uniformity, the undershirt is expected to be free of logos and graphics.
Pants should be long enough to reach the ankles, fitted but not tight, ensuring comfort while promoting a polished look appropriate for the academic setting.
Prohibited items: Tight sleeves and casual wear like jeans or leggings, which can detract from the formal nature of the uniform and the values it represents.

Type-B Uniform (From the Thursday after Ash Wednesday until the end of 2nd Term)

Walking shorts must be light khaki and knee-length, providing a suitable alternative for warmer weather while adhering to institutional standards.
Walking shorts should not be folded or worn with jeans to maintain the integrity of the uniform and ensure that students appear well-dressed and appropriate for the learning environment.

Footwear Standards

Closed black leather shoes are required for Type-A uniforms, emphasizing a formal and professional appearance as part of the overall uniform policy.
Black ankle-length socks are mandatory for male students; no low-rise or no-show socks are permitted, ensuring the uniform is complete and thoughtfully styled.
For the Type-B uniform, any shoe is permissible as long as it is paired with socks; however, sandals and slippers are not allowed as they do not fit the professional expectations set forth by the institution.

ID Card Regulations

University ID must be displayed at all times on campus; loss must be reported immediately to maintain security and accountability within the institution.
Only UST or official CICS organization lanyards are acceptable for wearing the ID, reinforcing students' association with the institution and its values.

Hair and Grooming Standards

Male Students

Hair must not touch the collar or ear, with a maximum height of 1.5 inches, ensuring that the grooming style meets appropriate professional standards.
No beards or mustaches are allowed, and sideburns must be no longer than the middle of the ear
