 K. Attendance Policy
 Regular and prompt class is an essential part of the educational experience.
Bangsamoro University of the Philippines (BUP) as well as Romeo Rodrigo Sr.
Memorial Colleges, Inc. (RRSMCI) expects students to exercise good judgement
regarding attendance and absences. All students are expected to attend every
scheduled class on time. Exceptions may be made for illness and valid
emergencies.
 A student who is absent from class is responsible for all work given by the
instructor on the day of his/her absence.
 A limited number of absences is permitted, but these absences must not exceed
three times the number of semester hours of the subject. Thus, for a three-unit
subject, the maximum allowable absence is nine class hours.

L. Class Policies
