LPU Student Handbook

HISTORY
Lyceum of the Philippines University prides itself with its long and rich tradition of Academic
Excellence through the legacy of its founder, Dr. Jose P. Laurel. The only president to
have served in all three branches of the Government, Dr. Laurel was a successful lawyer,
legislator, constitutionalist, jurist, writer, scholar, statesman, philosopher, and above all
things, an educator.
Dr. Laurel’s concern for education was his most abiding passion. A graduate of top
educational institutions such as University of the Philippines College of Law, Escuela de
Derecho, University of Santo Tomas and Yale University, his credentials as an educator
were unassailable. He wrote extensively on education and managed to teach in several
educational institutions in Manila, despite his numerous commitments.
During the second World War, as the leader of the nation during its darkest period in its
history, he introduced educational policies that emphasized and upheld national morale and
character. As a senator after the war, he authored the law creating the National Education
Board alongside Sen. Claro M. Recto.
The inspiration to establish a school came to him in the early 1920’s while a student at Yale.
Three decades later, along with some of his close friends, he turned this dream into a reality.
With the aim of becoming a center of academic excellence in the Philippines and the Far
East,the Lyceum of the Philippines University (then still a college) formally opened its doors
to the public on July 7, 1952.
With his admiration for knowledge and appreciation of classical thought, Dr. Laurel named
the school Lyceum of the Philippines after Lykeios, the site in ancient Athens where the
great philosopher Aristotle nurtured the minds of his protégées. The school’s motto Veritas
et Fortitudo, Pro Deo et Patria reflects Dr. Laurel’s belief in the value of learning and
character formation for God and country.
Unfortunately, Dr. Laurel unexpectedly died in 1959 while at work.
The responsibility of running the school was passed on to his third son, Sotero, who was
then in the practice of law. Senator Sotero was the natural choice because it was he who
helped his father organize LPU years earlier and acted as the first executive secretary to
his father, the school president, before resuming his law practice.
For the next forty-three years, it was this chosen son, Sotero, who nurtured the school and
made it grow beyond Manila and into the provinces.
In 1966, he founded the Lyceum of the Philippines University-Batangas followed by the

Lyceum of the Philippines-Laguna in 2000. Both campuses are now headed by Senator
Laurel’s fourth son, Peter, who was elected president in 2000.
1
In 2008, another campus in Cavite was established to bring the total number of LPU
campuses to four with the grand total enrollment of approximately 25,000 students, about
10,000 of whom are enrolled in various hospitality courses.
Senator Laurel’s eldest son, Atty. Roberto Laurel, heads the Manila and Cavite Campuses
as President.

LPU STATEMENT OF STUDENT ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY
Lyceum of the Philippines University is committed to the development of a complete

and lasting educational experience for its students, which promotes the fundamental
University core values of Love of God, Professional Integrity, Unity, Nationalism, Justice,
Perseverance, and Leadership (LPUNJPL). Consequently, this Statement on Student
Academic Responsibility addresses some principles of student conduct and behavior
expected of responsible, competent, and ethical graduates. Observing these fundamental
guidelines will result in responsible and ethical LPU graduates.
Classroom Decorum
It is expected that students will demonstrate a professional attitude towards quality learning
throughout their course of study. With respect to classroom decorum, students should
support and promote the creation of a positive and an excellent learning environment. To
reach this desired learning environment, LPU students are expected to be responsible
participants and are required to:
3
• attend all classes (except for sickness, personal or family tragedy or formal
excuses);
• come to class on time;
• stand and greet the teachers as they enter the classroom;
• recite the LPU Opening Prayer and LPU Closing Prayer;
• maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the classroom (practice 5S);
• come to class prepared by having fully completed assignments;
• actively engage in the classroom experience;
• treat the class as a professional experience;
• dress in appropriate attire;
• respect the views of other students;
• respect the professor’s prerogative to establish reasonable class standards;
• observe good manners and right conduct inside the campus (show courtesy, greet
all teachers and other officials, no public display of affection, self-discipline, etc.).
LPU students must also refrain from any behavior which might interfere with the instructor’s
ability to conduct the class or disrupt the ability of other students to learn. Likewise, students
must observe the following inside the classroom:
• avoid the inappropriate use of electronic devices;

• abstain from eating without permission;
• refrain from unnecessary conversation during class; and
• resist the urge to leave class without cause.
LPU students must realize that their individual attitude contributes significantly to the
collective learning in the classroom. We expect LPU students to internalize a classroom
culture that fosters an intellectual and professional learning environment.
We remind that LPU students abide by the policies set forth in LPU documents and therefore,
accept the personal responsibility needed to become skilled professionals, reasonable
community leaders, and proud graduates.

Bases of Grades
Grading Periods Major Components Percentage Weight

Prelim Period Prelim Exam (PE) 40%
Creative Academic P
Performance (CAP 1) 60%
Prelim Period Grade (PPG) 100% X 33.33%
25
Midterm Period Midterm Exam (ME) 40%
Creative Academic
Performance 2 (CAP 2) 60%
Midterm Period Grade (MPG) 100% X 33.33%
Final Period Final Exam (FE) 40%

Creative Academic
Performance 3 (CAP 3) 60%
Final Period Grade (FPG) 100% X 33.33%

Computed Final Grade (CFG) 100%
• CAP1, CAP2, and CAP3 refer to Creative Academic Performance (CAP) per
grading period, which includes quizzes, recitation, reports, projects and other
graded class activities
• Computation of grades is as follows:
PPG = 40% PE + 60% CAP1

MPG = 40% ME + 60% CAP2
FPG = 40% FE + 60% CAP3
CFG = 33.33% of PPG + 33.33% of MPG + 33.34% of FPG
Correction of Grades
Grades, once submitted to the Student Records Management Department (Office of the
University Registrar), may only be corrected/changed within the following semester and
only upon the faculty member’s certification that an error has been committed. Correction
of grade needs the written approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
COMPUTATION OF THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE
The computation for the grade point average (GPA) on all credited subjects is as follows:
1. Credit units for each subject are multiplied by the grade earned to obtain the
credit points per subject.
2. The resulting credit points are added.
3. The total number of credit points is divided by the total number of credit units to
obtain the GPA. The GPA is then rounded off to two (2) decimal places.
For GPA computation purposes, a descriptive grade of Failure Due to Absences (FDA) or
Never Appeared (NA) in any subject is equivalent to 5.00.
Grades in the National Service Training Program (NSTP) are not included in the computation
of the GPA.

becomes formal. Only formal academic grievances will be given due course.
The formal complaint against a faculty member can be filed anytime within the semester,
but not later than two (2) weeks after the start of the following semester. A complaint must
be duly notarized before submission to the Chair of the program. The student-complainant
must submit three (3) copies of his/her complaint; these copies are for the department,
faculty concerned and for the student.
A formal student grievance filed against a faculty member will initially go through a preliminary
hearing involving the student, faculty concerned, and the Chair of the Department where
the faculty belongs. Upon receipt of the complaint, together with all supporting documents,
the Department Chair shall require the respondent to answer the complaint in writing
within five (5) days from the receipt of complaint. The decision of the Chair is effective
immediately. The student-complaint, however, has five (5) days to appeal the decision of
the Chair otherwise he/she has waived his/her right to appeal.
The office of the Dean of the College is the venue particular to an appeal regarding an
academic grievance. The Dean convenes the College Academic Grievance Committee for
the purpose, this is composed of the following: Dean of College where the faculty belongs;
a senior member of the College preferably belonging to the same discipline of the faculty
concerned; and the President of the LPU Scholastic Society.
The Committee shall conduct at least one (1) hearing before deciding a case. The Committee
can call for witnesses, request for documents, and invite resource persons to aid them in
the disposition of the case. The Committee should resolve the issue within ten (10) days
upon receipt of the appeal.
The decision of the Committee is the decision of the College. However, the student-
complainant can appeal the decision of the College at the Vice President for the Academic
Affairs’ level within five (5) days from its promulgation. The VPAA either concurs with the
decision of the College or returns the case to the College Academic Grievance Committee
on the strength of new evidence or possible misinterpretation of any rule or regulation. The
decision of the VPAA is final.

utilize their God-given talents for self development and, collectively, for nation-building.
They are encouraged further to join all kinds of organizations that foster camaraderie
and instill brotherhood.
2. Historically, fraternities were founded to promote brotherhood and camaraderie among

groups of people, including student in colleges and universities. Fraternities and other
student-organizations must serve to forge not only brotherhood as the ultimate bonding
of all men and women inside and outside the confines of the universities, but must exist
to preserve the value of human life. Their talents and energies must be channeled and
utilized for collective development.
3. Recent events involving fraternities tend to erode the moral values inculcated by parents
and the educational institution. Students dedication to study, respect for authority,
observance of the rules and regulations of educational institutions are ignored. Existing
laws and other administrative issuance’s seem not enough to deter some students to
inflict physical and mental injuries on the others and, in so many instances, cause the
loss of life of students

organizations, all educational institutions of higher learning encouraged to promote
programs and projects that will produce responsible students and will instill the value
of human life for a productive future. The following preventive measures are therefore
suggested:
128
4.1 Monthly meetings of heads of fraternities in a council of Equals.
4.2 Regular gatherings of fraternity members through sports, cultural events and
joint community projects where there are cross memberships.
4.3 Reporting of a potential conflict to the head of the fraternity as a standard

procedure. The head in turn will patch it up with his counterpart.
4.4 Internal policing by the fraternities themselves.
4.5 Long term re-orientation of role of fraternity to move away from macho
conflicts into a society of brotherhood that stresses studies, productivity,
creativity, and sense of community and nationhood.
4.6 More interaction between School Administration and the fraternities.
4.7 Parents informed about the participation of their children in fraternities.
4.8 Use of fraternity alumni members to counsel resident members.
4.9 Fraternities be obliged to have ethical code in their organizational vision

and objectives which should include a commitment to solve problems in a
peaceful and friendly way.
5. In order to deter violence among Fraternities the following sanctions shall be strictly
carried out:
5.1 Automatic expulsion of any fraternity member for:
a. Starting or taking the offensive action that clearly provokes violence.

b. Carrying of knives, sticks, pipes, guns and other deadly weapons in
schools.
c. Extortion.
5.2 Sixty (60) days suspension of all officers of a fraternity found guilty of starting
action that will provoke violence.
5.3 Suspension of guilty fraternity for one year for the first offense and permanent
ban for the next offense.
129
6. Higher Education institutions must fully assume authority and responsibility in dealing
with fraternities and other students aggrupations. They are enjoined to closely monitor
and supervise the enumerated preventive measures and sanctions herein above
stated.
Immediate dissemination for this order is desired.

AWIT NG LYCEUM
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.
Damdamin mo ay
makabayan
Pugad ka ng kagitingan
Diwa mo’y dakila
Lyceum na mahal.
Lyceum na minamahal.
