Student Handbook 2010-2013

This edition of the Institutional Student Handbook familiarizes you, the students, with your second home, the De La Salle Health Sciences Institute. This will serve as your guide in establishing the foundation for your future careers.

Included in this new edition are the new campus development plan and

the DLSHSI creed which all students must know by heart. The policies on

student conduct stipulated in this handbook do not only apply once you

are in the campus. As Lasallians, it is expected that you uphold Lasallian

values even outside the school premises. The drug testing policy had

been further developed to aid in the drug prevention programs of the

institution. Likewise certain protocols for student activities have been

formulated to ensure a systematic way of monitoring these activities. In

addition, academic policies on adding and dropping of subjects, refund,

leave of absence were also drafted.

The Handbook is divided into four parts:

Part 1: YOUR FAMILY AND HOME, introduces you to the Lasallian Family

and the important people and sites in the campus.

Part 2: THE ACADEME, describes the policies and procedures from

admission until you complete your academic program.

Part 3: STUDENT SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES, orients you to the various

services that are available to you, and the co-curricular activities that we

encourage you to participate in.

Part 4: STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE contains policies that help keep

the peace and order in the campus. In this way, the campus becomes

conducive to learning and student development.
