 Preface

Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) cares deeply for its students and the
experiences they would obtain both inside and outside the classroom. The philosophy
is that whatever the students do outside the classroom is as important as what they do
inside the classroom. Thus, it provides for an environment and a system of support that
would enable students to attain their personal development through an active and
enriching college life.

As students explore their academic interests, train on their career objectives,

and discover their personal potentials in working towards the achievement of their
professional goals, Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) ensures these are made
possible through programs and structures that respond appropriately to the students’
needs. Established school policies and programs are in place not only to provide quality
education, but also to ensure every student of a safe and secure learning environment.

Moreover, numerous opportunities await students to develop their skills in

leadership and teamwork by taking on leadership roles in sports, cultural, spiritual and
community service engagements. In these activities, students acquire rich learning
experiences that would enable them to grow and enhance their lifelong success. They
are, therefore, strongly encouraged to become members or officers of student
organizations, clubs and societies recognized and accepted by the University, and
participate actively in creating a vibrant student life by way of meeting people and
making lifelong friends.

The students are the most important members of the LPU’s community.
Through this Student Manual, they will be guided in their pursuit for quality learning
opportunities that they so richly deserve.

The President

 A HISTORY OF SHAPING THE FILIPINO MINDS AND TALENTS

Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas (LPU-B), a private

tertiary educational institution located in Region IV-A was established in 1966 by the
late Senator, Dr. Sotero H. Laurel adopting the educational philosophy of his father,
former President of the Philippines-Jose P. Laurel. The present members of the Board
of Trustees of LPU-B belong to a family of reputable educators in our country, namely:
Mrs. Lorna P. Laurel as the Chair with the following members: Miss Josefina P. Laurel,
Atty. Roberto P. Laurel, Mr. Carlos P. Laurel, Mr. Ricardo P. Laurel, Dr. Peter P. Laurel,
Atty. Mark P. Laurel, Dr. Paulino Y. Tan, and Dr. Yolinda G. Balmes. This institution
formally received its University status from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
in 2008. Consequently, it has also maintained the Autonomous status, the highest
recognition being awarded by CHED to few tertiary educational institutions in the
country, after obtaining it in 2009 and 2016.

LPU-B is committed to a culture of quality and excellence marked by a familial

spirit and a harmonious work environment that is embedded in its vision and mission.

Believing that schools should provide quality education, the LPU-B management
crafted the vision of becoming a leading university in the Asia Pacific Region, dedicated
to the development of the integral individual who constantly seeks the truth and acts
with fortitude (Veritas et Fortitudo) in the service of God and country (Pro deo et
Patria). To meet the present demands of the highly competitive world, this vision was
reviewed several times and now reads To be a recognized industry-driven
university in the Asia Pacific Region by 2026. Correspondingly its mission
statement was also reviewed to ensure that LPU-B achieves its new vision.

Today, LPU-B offers 55 degree and non-degree programs, delivered through

online and blended delivery of instruction using the enhanced Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) curriculum and standards also guided by appropriate standards set by
professional organizations and regulatory bodies. The school employs around 500
teaching and non-teaching personnel to serve the needs of its more than 7,000 student
populace. Its core competencies are Hospitality Management, Tourism, Marine
Transportation, Dentistry, Medical Technology, Accountancy, and Business
Administration.

Through the efforts of the entire LPU-B Family, the university has been given
the Four QS Stars Rating in 2021 following its recognition as the Philippines’ First
Private Non-Sectarian QS Stars Rated University in 2016, it was also given the Global
Performance Excellence Award – World Class Award (Highest) in Education
Category by the Asia Pacific Quality Organization in 2017. LPU-B also received the
Philippine Quality Award (PQA) as Recognition for its Proficiency in Quality
Management in 2015 after obtaining the PQA Recognition for Commitment to

Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 5

Quality Management in 2012 – the fourth school in the Philippines to receive this
distinction and the first in Region IV.

In 2012, CHED formally awarded LPU-B as Center of Excellence (COE) for

International Hospitality Management (IHM) and Center of Development (COD) for
International Travel and Tourism Management (ITTM); and in 2016, it has been granted
COE for both IHM and ITTM programs and Medical Laboratory Scienceprogram;
and COD for Business Administration and Information Technology programs.
Likewise, the international accreditation of IHM and ITTM programs by the International
Center of Excellence for Tourism and Hospitality Education (THE-ICE) and the recent
International Centre of Excellence accreditation bythe Asia Pacific Institute for Events
Management (APIEM) have been awarded for both undergraduate and graduate degree
programs – again, another first in the Asia Pacific.

LPU-B has made great strides in the past few years. In 2015, it was also awarded
as the first university in Asia to be Gold – accredited by the international standards for
human resource training and development, the Investors in People (IiP) and in the year
2017, the university also received the IiP Gold (Generation 6) Accreditation , still,
the first university in Asia to receive the award based on the new standard.

Its Quality Management System has been certified to ISO Standard since 2006
and has migrated and certified to the latest ISO 9001:2015 Standard by the
Certification International (CI) this 2021. Also, the university has been granted
the Institutional Accreditation Status by the Philippine Association of
Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) for having
more than 75% of its program offerings accredited.

LPU-B Alumni are gainfully employed and enjoy success in their respective
career/s in the country and abroad.

The success of LPU-B is attributed to its high student performance, competent,

dedicated, and motivated employees, relevant curricula, upgraded facilities and up-to-
date technological equipment, good campus climate, efficient and effective support
processes, and strong management support.
The present thrust of LPU-B towards an outcomes-based education has triggered major
changes and innovations in the teaching and learning processes to ensure that
instruction will bring about the desired outcomes stipulated in the course syllabi. LPU-
B uses the results of the various processes and strategies as primary indicators in
defining its organizational excellence.

All is set for LPU-B’s continued journey towards sustainable organizational

excellence in the service of God and country.

 Article I. FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES

Based on Dr. Jose P. Laurel's Philosophy of Education, the Lyceum is committed

to the following objectives and principles:
Section 1. Academic Excellence. Lyceum's main task, its continuing concern as
an intellectual community, is the elevation of academic standards within the limits of
its resources. To achieve the goal of academic excellence, Lyceum shall strive to
undertake the following:
a. Upgrading, updating and continuing development of the curricula in order to
make them responsive to the needs of the local, regional and national
development;
b. Continuing classroom instruction at all times;
c. Implementing strict, but fair grading system;
d. Continuing relevant research and publications;
e. Providing adequate resources in terms of manpower and physical facilities that
conform to the students' needs and regulatory standards.
f. Providing meaningful social services to the identified communities.

Section 2. Nationalism. Lyceum is first and foremost a Filipino institution

committed to the ideal of enlightened and militant nationalism which it has recognized
as a basic element of a truly responsible educational system that will enable the Filipino
to actively participate in the making of a strong, independent and economically viable
Philippines.
Section 3. Academic Freedom. Lyceum recognizes the principles of academic
freedom as a cornerstone of its educational policies. Academic freedom is based on its
two components:
a. serious study and research and subsequent scholarly expressions of
findings; and
b. tolerance, openness and respect for the ideas and opinions of others.

Section 4. Leadership and Character Training. University education involves not

only the molding of character and the development of professional expertise but also
the training for responsible leadership. Thus, Lyceum has inculcate in its students the
sterling virtues not only of integrity, loyalty and courage or conviction, but also of
industry, self-reliance and a sense of discipline without which they cannot contribute
their share to nation's progress, prosperity and greatness.

Section 5. Discussion and Reason. Lyceum believes in reason and persuasion,

not in confrontation. Differences of opinion are best resolved through communication
and dialogue. As such there shall be regular consultation meeting between
representatives of the students, faculty and the administration.

Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 3

 Article II. PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

The mission of Lyceum as an educational institution is inspired by the

Philosophy of Education of its founder, Dr. Jose P. Laurel, who said:

1. Education is a continuing process, a process that must, if it is to be effective

and socially beneficial, seek to develop all the God-given faculties and the talents of
the individual to their highest unfolding in order to make of him asset to his country
and to the world-community of which he is a part.
2. A well-rounded and thorough educational training of the individual should
not only develop his body and sharpen his intellect but also teach him to appreciate
spiritual and moral values and prepare him for material welfare through vocational,
agricultural, or professional specialization.
3. An educational program geared exclusively to the needs and problems of the
individual and the country would be fruitless and dangerously inadequate, however,if it
did not take into account the problems of the modern world and if it did not inculcate
certain virtues and social values that would make for international peace, which, after
all, is the universal desire of men. Nationalism versus communism are some of the
mighty forces now engaged in fateful rivalry on the world stage, and thesecompetitions
cannot be ignored in the formulation and implementation of the Filipino'seducational
program.

Article X. GRADING SYSTEM

Section 1. Grading Periods. There are two (2) grades issued during a school term:
the midterm grade and the final grade. For the midterm grade, the student is being
informed about his/her midterm grade. The student acknowledges his/her midterm grade
by signing the conforme section of the class record. On the other hand, the final grade
is released after every semester through online student portal.

Section 2. No Conditional Grades. Grades shall be either passing (3.0 and above)
or failing (5.0). However, in the Graduate School, if a student obtains a grade of 2.0 in
two subjects, said students shall be required to repeat one subject only once. Failure to
get a grade of 1.75 or higher shall be an automatic disqualification from the program
enrolled. Incomplete (INC) mark shall be given to a student for failure to submit a term
paper or report or project of similar nature. The corresponding grade shall be given with
proper deduction for papers not submitted.

Section 3. INC (Incomplete) Mark. A student who fails to take the final
examination for whatever valid reasons, or those who failed to submit the requirements
for the final examination, shall be given an INC mark if he is passing prior to final
examination. In subjects requiring practical knowledge or applications of knowledge, or
technical skills and the examination therein requires the presentation of compliance with
standards required of the final examination, the grade therein shall form part of the
examination. Non-compliance with the standards required as set by the College shall be
deemed not having taken the final examination, and a mark of INC will be given to the
student concerned. Additionally, if such student is failing prior to the final examination,

Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 13

 and is deemed fail even if he perfects the final examination, a failing grade shall be
given to the student.

The INC mark shall not be applied during any other major examination within
the semester, where grades shall be either passing (3.0 and above) or failing grade
(5.0).

Section 4. Bases of Grades. In computing the grades, the following

factors shall be considered:

A. Mid-Term Grade B. Final Grade

Preliminary Examination .............. 30.00% Mid-Term Grade ............................ 40.00%

Class Performance (quizzes, exercises, Class Performance (quizzes, exercises,

attendance, performance task, attendance, performance task,
reporting/recitation, reporting/recitation,
assignments/research, projects) assignments/research, projects)
.....................................................30.00% .....................................................20.00%
Final Examination ........................ 40.00%
Mid-Term Examination ................. 40.00%

Mid-Term Grade Total ................ 100.00% Final Grade Total ........................ 100.00%
Note:

Class Performance
quizzes – 30%
projects/research – 20%
exercises/activities/performance task – 35%
attendance – 15%

Prelim to Midterm Period (same as after Midterm to Finals)

Quizes – minimum of 5, maximum of 7

Assignments/research projects – at least 1 research project; assignment –

depending on the Course Plan

Section 5. Schedule of Special Examinations. Students who are not able to takethe
principal examinations on scheduled dates should take special examinations as follows:
a. Prelim examination - not later than ten (10) days before the start of the
midterm examination during the regular semester;
Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 14
 b. Mid-Term examination - not later than ten (10) days before the start of
the final examination during the regular semester and not later than five (5) days
before the start of the finals during the summer term;
c. Final examination - within one (1) semester from the enrolment unless the
subject is a prerequisite to another subject in which case special examination should
be taken and passed before enrolment of the succeeding subject.
Section 6. Completion Period of Subjects. A student who failed to take the
final exam, or submit final requirements, for whatever valid reason and obtained an
INC Mark (please refer to Section 3 of this Manual) will be allowed to take a special
final exam/submit requirements within one semester from the start and end of the
next semester. The student will have to fill-up the application for completion of INC
which he shall process and present to his teacher, or in his absence, the College Dean.
Once a completion grade is obtained, the teacher/faculty or the Dean will submit this
completion form to the Registrar’s Office. Failure to comply within one semester
reckoning on the date when the subject was enrolled, (i.e. subject was enrolled 1st

Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 15

semester SY 2023-2024, completion should be done immediately after he received his
grade up to the last day of classes of 2nd semester SY 2023-2024) will result in the
automatic conversion of the INC Mark into a No Credit (NC) by the University Registrar.
Thus, the student will have to re-enroll the subject concerned.

Section 7. Finality of Grades. Final grades once encoded/finalized in the

system cannot be altered or modified without the approval of the President. Such
approval may be given only in one case: viz, if the faculty member concerned certifies
in writing to the President through the Dean or Department Head and the Registrar
that he had committed a clerical or mathematical error. Such request for correction of
grade shall be subject to audit by the Internal Audit Office. This provision shall apply
only if the request for correction is made beyond the cut off period for such.
If the request for correction of grade is made on or before the cut off period,
the concerned faculty member shall make a written request with justification and
supporting documents to be submitted to the University Registrar, thru the VPAR, upon
recommendation of the dean.
Correction of grades can be processed only up to the last day of the following
semester.

Example:
Correction of grades for First Semester 2023-2024 can only be processed for
correction up to last school day of Second Semester 2023-2024.
It is therefore clear that NO GRADE CAN BE PROCESSED FOR CORRECTION IF IT
WILL DEVIATE THE PRESCRIBED CUT OFF PERIOD.
Section 8. Grading System. The grading system in the Lyceum shall be as follows:

ARTICLE XIII. RULES ON DISCIPLINE

Section 1. Administrative Sanctions. Disciplinary administrative sanctions may

a. Reprimand/Warning – This is meted out for reprehensible conduct or as a

way of admonishing erring student that repetition of the offense would subject him to
more severe disciplinary measures.
b. Suspension – As a penalty imposed for an offense committed, a student may
be banned for a certain period from attending class/es or from entering the university.
A final decision of suspension for one semester or one year shall be reviewed by the
Discipline Committee.

1. Punitive Suspension: The erring students are prevented from attending

class/es and thus, from taking examinations, quizzes and graded recitations given
during specified period. Since he/she is not excused from these graded works, he/she
shall be given zero for not having taken them. He/she will not be given special
examination to make up for them.
2. Preventive Suspension: A student under investigation of a case involving
the penalty of expulsion is suspended from entering the university premises if the
evidence of guilt is strong and that the school, through the student affairs office, is
strongly convinced that the continued stay of said student/s during the period of
investigation constitutes a distraction to the normal operations of the school or poses
a risk or danger to the life of any person or property of the school. Once the student is
Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 22
under preventive suspension, in this event, the period previously served shall be
considered part of the penalty. However, if he is absolved of the charges, though he is

Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas City Student Manual 23

not entitled to make up for the days he was suspended, he shall be allowed to take
examinations, quizzes and graded recitations he missed.

c. Exclusion – This is a disciplinary measure which allows an erring student to

finish the semester or term but he is thereafter excluded from returning to the
university, or where the penalty of expulsion cannot for any reason, extraneous or
otherwise, be enforced. This measure shall be taken only against students guilty
of major offense/s and when circumstances of extreme urgency necessitate
his/her immediate exclusion. The final decision shall be rendered by the
Discipline Committee.
d. Expulsion – This is the supreme disciplinary measure. As distinguished from
exclusion, it is imposed and implemented during the semester or term when the offense
was committed and excluded from returning to the University and shall not be given
Certificate of Good Moral Character. This requires the prior approval of the Commission
on Higher Education/Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(CHED/TESDA).

Section 2. Administrative Due Process. A student charged with violating

university rules and regulations shall be informed of the complaint against him and be
afforded a fair and reasonable opportunity to defend himself, provided, however, that
in case of voluntary admission or confession of offenses committed in flagrante de licto,
a decision may be summarily rendered and the corresponding penalty imposed upon the
erring student and provided further, that if the erring student refuses to appear or to
present his defense, or resorts to dilatory tactics in the course of the investigation, the
hearing may be conducted ex parte.

Section 3. Investigating Committee. Each College may create their own

investigating committee which will conduct the initial investigation of any case or
complaint filed before them. The committee shall have the power to recommend
possible sanction or disciplinary action to the Office of Student Affairs.

or one (1) year suspension, exclusion or expulsion rendered by the Dean of Student
Affairs, shall be automatically reviewed by the Discipline Committee whose decision
shall be final and executory.

 LPU PRAYER

ALMIGHTY FATHER, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the years of
meaningful existence of Lyceum as an institution devoted to quality education that
seeks to develop the competence and shape the character and values of our youth. We
thank You for Your love and the many blessings You have given to LPU.

Help us to show our gratitude by loving and caring for each other; by following
Your Holy Will as we seek for truth; by using the talents You have given us in serving
God and our fellowmen; by sharing our successes with others; and by glorifying You in
all our achievements.

Heavenly Father, we entrust our University to Your Fatherly care and

protection as we humbly pray.

Bless and protect the LPU community, our Board Chair and Board Members, our
President and our University Officials, our teachers and staff, our students and their
parents, our alumni and industry partners, our local and international partners in
Quality Assurance, our adopted communities, and our respective families.

We also pray for our national leaders, that thru their exemplary leadership,
they may lead our country to progress, preserving the Christian values and ideals of a
democratic society.

We pray especially that our dear founders may enjoy everlasting peace.

We ask all these in confidence through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer
and our Savior. Amen.

Lyceum ng Pilipinas
Tanglaw ng puso’t diwa Pamana
mo’y bubuhayin Ningning mo’y
di magmamaliw

Landas ka ng karunungan
Mithi mo’y katotohanan
Sagisag mo’y dakila
Lyceum na mahal

Lyceum ng Pilipinas Tibay

at pananalig Timbulan ka
ng pag-asa Liwanag na
walang maliw

Refrain:
Damdamin mo’y makabayan
Pugad ka ng kagitingan
Diwa mo’y dakila
Lyceum na mahal

Repeat Refrain:
(Lyceum na minamahal)
