Course credit

CWTS/LTS/ROTC but will have no numerical weight on the final grade of the
student.

Schedule and duration Mondays, 9am to 12pm; 25 hours (minimum)

Course requirements The course will be regarded as a pass/fail course. Each student is
required to attend all the sessions for topic units of the course. In the case
of an excused absence the student will be asked by the instructor to
produce an output that will allow the student to show competence in the
missed topic.
Class Policies

A student is considered tardy if he/she comes 10 min after the start of

the class. A student is considered absent if he/she comes 30 min after
the start of the class. The 3:1 rule on tardiness will take effect.
Following this, a maximum of 3 absences is allowed (i.e. four or more
absences will be equivalent to failure to complete the course).
Valid excuses for being absent: health problems, official representative
of college/university to an official school-related event (e.g.,
local/international conference), death in the family. Other reasons not
mentioned need to be evaluated by the instructor first before
considering valid or not.
Documents for excused absences must be submitted on or before the
class session IMMEDIATELY following the absence.

Important!!!
Any form of cheating in examinations or any act of
dishonesty in relation to studies, such as plagiarism, shall be subject to
disciplinary action.

Notes
Students intending to take ROTC/LTS/non-MBB CWTS course
after the NSTP common module will be awarded a certificate of completion
which they must present to their accepting unit.
A change of
matriculation will be undergone at the end of the NSTP course upon
approval of the accepting unit. This change mat will be regarded by the
OUR as a special case and will be free of charge.

Continuation to CWTS-MBB 1 will be automatic. Students need not

undergo the change-mat process.
