  • Student Manual 2015 Edition Covers the Expected Student Conduct in Consonance with the Implementation of Transformative Performance That Results in Best Contributions
    0 1 FOREWORD The Cebu Technological University is home to dedicated scholars, academics, and staff in pursuit of excellence in the fields of research, instruction, production and extension. It is a community honed by the ideals of the state to articulate human development and progressive economy especially at the turn of the century. Each step toward building a milestone of success demands rejoicing on the part of every stakeholder. Students as stakeholders are so determined to help the country’s economy through CTU’s instruction and advocacy. They are occupied with the idea that it is a responsibility to act upon this commitment to live by the standards set forth by the institution. The Student Manual 2015 Edition covers the expected student conduct in consonance with the implementation of transformative performance that results in best contributions. Curricular and extra-curricular provisions suggest a better position for students. Changes have been reflected in this handbook as the need to cope with society’s evolution makes a very positive response. When it comes to the mechanism of achieving it, core principles are carefully assessed once again to address students’ academic, social and personal needs. The vision, as far as students’ interest is concerned, can very well go along with the desire to take pride in the ambition to stand out. The university transcends the mere perspective about what its stakeholders would want to experience. There is no better way to impact harmony in the system than seeing the authorities do something to prevent unwanted circumstances that curtail students’ rights and privileges. ROSEIN A.
