As students, attending classes is part of your responsibility. However, your absence may be excused if you're representing Benilde at an event, competition, or training, or attending a required school activity such as a retreat or recollection.
Follow these steps to do this:
- Secure an Approved Absence Form from the Office/Department/School organizing the event.
- Submit the form for approval before the date of the intended absence to the School Dean for academic activities or Student Life Dean for non-academic/co-curricular/extracurricular activities, and CSBLIFE, CSBGRAD, or NSTP-related activities.
- Present the approved absence form to the teacher at least 1 class session before the scheduled absence. If this is not possible, the Activity Coordinator or Program Chairperson/Coordinator should provide a written explanation to the faculty concerned, noted by the School Dean or Student Life Dean.
