The regulations of the Loyola Schools as set forth in this handbook are calculated to secure the good order necessary for the effective pursuit of knowledge, to help the students attain the level of quality work required of them, and to ensure proper deportment of the entire body. The student’s registration in the Loyola Schools is considered an expression of willingness to abide by all the rules and regulations prevailing in the Loyola Schools. Every student, therefore, is committed to the observance of these rules. Message University President A handbook like this is supposed to be a guidepost for your student lives here in the Loyola Schools. You can choose to see it as just a set of rules and regulations that can only constrain your lives even more. Guides do constrain and limit, but they also help in bringing you where you need to go. This updated version of the student handbook has been prepared by the Office of the Vice President for the Loyola Schools so that you may also discern the things we value in our mission of education here at the Loyola Schools. I hope you will devote time to read this and interiorize our “modo de proceder” (of way of proceeding) here at the Ateneo de Manila. While you are here at the Ateneo, I hope you will not take things (such as matters in this handbook) for granted. I hope you will not take people (including yourself) for granted. Surely you will find support and guidance here from people who are concerned about your life. My hope is that you too will be concerned about others, especially those whose future will depend on how you shape your life even as early as now here at the Ateneo de Manila. Ad majorem Dei gloriam, Jose Ramon T Villarin, SJ President iv | Undergraduate Student Handbook • 2016 Edition Vice President for the Loyola Schools Message To our dear students, Your years in the Loyola Schools are packed with lessons, activities, friendships, and memories. All these, we hope, will combine to form you into an Atenean whose mind is anchored in excellence, whose heart is filled with the zeal to serve others, and whose life direction is guided by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. Your life in the university will be shaped by your own efforts and decisions, but it will be supported and guided by a structure of systems, procedures, and programs which keeps order in the institution and builds discipline and a moral sense in our students. It is this structure that this handbook details, and we hope you will take the time to go through it and refer to it as needed. We wish you a memorable and fruitful journey here at the Ateneo, as you become Lux-in-Domino – Light in the Lord. Maria Luz C. Vilches, Ph. D.
