COURSE NUMBER: NSTP CWTS 1
DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: FOUNDATIONS OF SERVICE
FIRST SEMESTER 2016-2017
SLU NSTP: FORMING COMPETENT, CREATIVE, AND CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERS SOCIALLY

INVOLVED WITH MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN NATION BUILDING
I. GENERAL PRINCIPLES:
1. NSTP CWTS 1 is a pre-requisite training subject to NSTP CWTS 2. Both subjects are mandated by RA 9163 or
the NSTP Act of 2001. Gleaned from the law, these subjects engage college students to be more nationalistic
and patriotic by aggressively integrating themselves in the promotion of community welfare. The training
program as fundamentally stipulated in the NSTP law possesses a genuine institutional nature. An
implementing Higher Education Institution inputs its capabilities, culture, vision-mission, and values towards the
preparation of students in national and community service involvement. Hence, the Foundations of Service
Louisians are re-oriented to include the vision-mission and values of the University that can equip them with the
requisites of Filipino community service involvement. Other lessons incorporated here as per the law and its IRR
and other pertinent memos are good citizenship, volunteerism, crime prevention and safety promotion, anti-drug
abuse, environmental promotion, health, emergency response, calamity and disaster risk reduction and
management, among many others. Relatedly, SLU-NSTP incorporates the mandate of RA 9418 or the National
Volunteer Act of 2007. College students must continue to volunteer their time, efforts, and profession in
community transformation. And as Louisians, such transformation embodies Filipino and missionary culture.
NSTP CWTS 1 is a modular training subject which is mostly classroom-based training with minor field
exposures. It employs various group dynamics and creative instructional technologies that can provide students
the basic but optimum hands-on or student centered preparations for the said community service involvement.
This subject shall introduce students to be more meaningfully involved in community welfare participation during
their NSTP CWTS 2, during their stay in the University after their NSTP, when they shall be tasked to extend
their professional practice to communities when they have graduated or are employed, and wherever they wish
to volunteer. Incorporating the various training requirements stipulated in the NSTP IRR, this part of the training
will focus on forming competent, creative, and Christian volunteers socially involved as young missionaries and
nation builders.
2. Community service involvement is among the trademarks of a Louisian. SLU was established with a mission
towards academic excellence and missionary spirit. Not only must Louisians be competent, creative and
Christian, but they must also be socially involved in community service. Hence, NSTP, just like any community
service involvement program in the University, is an integral subject of a Louisian. NSTP may be perceived as
an ordinary subject. But it is not ordinary for a Louisian who wishes to genuinely live his Louisian identity. SLU
students are required to equally give their best.
3. Community service as a trademark of a Louisian is a character that understands and respects the individual
differences of persons that make them unique and significant. It is a character that helps discover and enable
every persons capabilities or potentials. Community service is enabling each one to live well with others in their
unique and individual differences.
4. SLU-NSTP underscores service or work ethics and character which are also of competitive advantage when the
Louisian graduate applies for work or when already employed. SLU-NSTP emphasizes building service or work
ethics and character.
5. As per RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001, the primary goals of NSTP are: civic consciousness, defense
preparedness, developing the ethics of service, patriotism, and good citizenship. It must be added that the major
goal of Community Service Involvement (CSI) is building a community where all people, regardless of
differences, can live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved
quality of life for all.
6. SLU-NSTP is called a missionary apostolate. It is one concrete way of evangelizing others by letting them feel
or encounter Divine providence and presence through the meaningful services rendered with them. SLU was
CREATINGINITIATIVES FOR COMPASSION AND MERCY

established as a missionary institution. As Louisians, it is our mission to help ourselves and other people
transform lives, in its various dimensions, according to Gods teachings.
7. As missionary service providers, Louisian students are considered to be apostles ambassadors of goodwill
(the word apostles originated from the Greek word apostolos which in Hebrew word is called Shalliack.
Shalliack means ambassadors of goodwill.)
8. Incorporating the above, the following are the program core-focus of SLU-NSTP: a) community inclusive
solidarity; b) Volunteerism and good citizenship; c) the CICM Missionary Legacy; d) youth integrated
transformation; e) community project planning and management; f) Louisian core values; g) richness of
indigenous Filipino culture; and h) work ethics/character and preparedness.
9. Missionary service is illustrated by delivering services characterized by the virtues of simplicity living and being
contented with basic needs only so that any extras could be reserved for future needs or could be shared to the
needy, loyalty-obeying and practicing the vision-mission and culture of an institution or organization one is
affiliated with, availability-responding to a need with ones actual presence and participation, Preferential option
for the needy-greater compassion and prioritization of the real needy or the most in need, Volunteerism-giving of
unconditional service, Frontiership-responding to a critical concern or issue or standing by a critical principle,
Self-sacrifice and charity-going beyond borders to help the needy, Community solidarity-living with others
regardless of their differences, Relevance-transformation with greater impact, love of the sacred-inner
satisfaction and happiness in practicing righteousness as taught by the Supreme Divine, Gentleness-ability to
feel and think like the other person, humility-the ability to accept and support reality at its best, Excellence-ability
to pursue ideals of humanity and godliness in our own givenness, and Inculturation our values and visions in
life are embodied in our culture which is a gift from God and from our ingenuity.
10. Transformative service is illustrated by delivering relevant or much needed assistance through ones competent
capabilities, creativity and resourcefulness. It is helping ensure that a society recognizes, respects and readily
provides opportunities and capability building trainings for every person to be significant, functional, or selfreliant in the society. Transformative service is promoting an inclusive society.
11. NSTP recognizes college students to be growing more mature. SLU-NSTP, by virtue of the Universitys mission
and its motto of wisdom builds is orienting SLU NSTP students to excel and be creative in their respective
courses or specialization and use such to help transform communities during community service and even when
employed later on, guided by Christian principles. NSTP also requires a growing level of technical competency
or specialization, and maturity. One cannot give what one does not have. Else, one can best serve with what
one already has (knowledge, attitude, skills, values or other personal resources). With the varied courses and
apostolates of students, Community Service Involvement (CSI) can help address the integrated concerns of a
community.
12. NSTP training is providing the NSTP student the exposure to be an independent missionary worker: to explore,
discover and maximize his creativity under minimum but substantial supervision and working under pressure
while personally observing command of activity, success and safety.
13. NSTP provides experience to the NSTP student to prepare himself/herself for the world of work or employment
after graduation. Employment and work are highly competitive. Work applicants should display capabilities for
minimum supervision, self-reliance, working under pressure, multiple capabilities for multi-tasking, mature,
teamwork, personality, attitude, etc
14. Community Service Involvement (CSI) also builds a community where all people, regardless of differences, can
live together in solidarity through people empowerment, social collaboration, and improved quality of life for all.
15. CSI prioritizes sectors or dimensions of utmost need or attention (lost, powerless, poor, excluded, etc), offcampus or on-campus.
16. CSI incorporates value transformation in well-off sectors on communities for them to appreciate and pursue the
concern of reaching out to the needy communities.
17. CSI engages community participation and teamwork. Every community member or a worker has great potentials
and capabilities. When given the chance, everyone becomes significant in the community.
18. People who want development to happen should strive for it; because development is not offered on a silver
platter. Partner communities should always share a counterpart; they are always capable in one way or
another.
19. CSI is integrated and not piecemeal. It targets the various and holistic conditions of persons in the community:
physiological, intellectual, socio-cultural, technological, spiritual, and psycho-emotional, among others.

20. CSI is immersing ones self with the community. Go to the people and live among them. Community service
providers cannot significantly help a community if they just stay and work within their offices. Service providers
must integrate themselves to genuinely feel and respond to community concerns.
21. Start with and build on what the people have and know: CSI is beginning with the indigenous resources,
technologies and structures that a community has. Being an innovator is advantageous as long as ones action
conforms to what the community believes in and does, and which does not adversely affect their physical
environment and rich culture.
22. CSI is not merely a relief but a release. CSI is focused on liberating community members from their concerns
by equipping them with the capability to resolve their own concerns rather than on merely giving relief goods or
dole outs. CSI should also focus on resolutions that are long lasting rather than only on short term ones.
Indeed, CSI should not simply be giving a fish to a man for he will live only for a day but rather, it should be
teaching a man how to fish so he can catch fish by himself and can live for lifetime.CSI is helping persons help
themselves. CSI is ensuring that others become self-reliant or self-sustaining. Meanwhile, relief system must
only be pursued in appropriate relief situations.
23. CSI requires a relevant level of technical competency or specialization, and maturity. One cannot give what
one does not have. Else, one can best serve with what one already has (intellectual or practical skills, or other
personal resources). Hence, it is expected that students should develop knowledge, skills, capabilities, and
attitude responsive to specific needs.
24. However, CSI is limited by the feasibility of an activity, the capability of the participants, or logistics. Participants
should undergo capability retooling if needed.
25. CSI is establishing a working rapport with the concerned partners and clients.
II GENERAL GUIDELINES:
1. All Filipino citizen students (singular or dual citizenship) who are graduating in SLU are required to enroll,
practice, and finish their NSTP 1 and NSTP 2 in SLU.
2. Cross-enrollment of NSTP to other schools is restricted. Louisians should enroll it in the university since it has a
special leaning on the Louisian way of life. Cross enrollment is allowed only if NSTP is not offered in the
University. There should be no reason that SLU students cannot enroll NSTP in the University since the NSTP
is scheduled in the students respective curriculum which means that the NSTP just like the academic subjects
in the curriculum are scheduled to be enrolled in due time. Meanwhile, completion of NSTP in other schools is
allowed only in the case of transferees who finished such before transferring to SLU.
3. Cross enrollees from other schools taking their NSTP in SLU are required to follow the NSTP as programmed in
the University.
4. NSTP 1 and NSTP 2 can not be enrolled at the same time in a given term, even in the same or different school,
except in the case of a crash course. If a student, for whatever reason, has enrolled and completed NSTP 2
before NSTP 1, the NSTP 2 that is enrolled and completed is invalidated and the student shall be required to
take NSTP 1 and to re-take NSTP 2 after completing and passing NSTP 1.
5. The schedule of enrollment and finishing of NSTP depends on the course one is enrolled in. Please check with
your school the semester, term or year level you can enroll NSTP 1 or NSTP 2. Generally, however, all students
should finish their NSTP 1 during their freshman year and their NSTP 2 anytime thereafter.
6. As part of the enrollment process of the NSTP, students are required to further properly submit/accomplish/fill up
the following:
a. class cards
b. form 1
c. ID pictures (2 pieces, 2X2 in size, should be recent and with white-colored background). These pictures will
be pasted in the NSTP form 1 and journal of the student.
d. Submit group filing expandable folder: Please see required format and color coding with the instructor.
e. Secure, read and master the Manual of Procedures and Guidelines (MOPG) of NSTP 1.
f. Enlistment in a training group of the class the student belongs
g. Verification of names in the enrollment list during the first day of classes. Check that you are enrolled in an
NSTP class code that is not dissolved.
h. 1 long folder (see required sample)
i. Secure and start accomplishing your SLU-NSTP journal for every nstp class or activity starting on the first day
of classes: keep your entries in full details. Specify the date, time, place, agenda, attendance of the group

mates, activities or topics undertaken or discussed, etc ALWAYS BRING ALONG YOUR JOURNAL
DURING NSTP CLASS OR ACTIVITY. NO JOURNAL, NO ATTENDANCE/ CONSULTATION.
j. Journal specifications: (a) composition or writing notebook at least 90 leaves; (b) non-spiral (c) color coded
k. Be ready to submit specimen of the ID (with picture, signature and address) of your guardians while studying
in the University. You will submit this together whenever you will be asked to accomplish and submit a waiver
and other related papers. Your guardian must be either or both of your parents. But either or both of your
parents must be accessible or staying with you in your residence while studying so that should you need their
original signatures (not photocopied) immediately, you will be able to secure such immediately. Photocopy at
least two IDs of either parents or both. At least one of the IDs should be a government issued ID (ex. Voters
ID, SSS, GSIS, license, etc). The other ID may be private issued or government issued just the same. The
IDs should be photocopied on one long bond paper. Beside the Photocopied IDs, the concerned parent
should again attach original signature to match the Photocopied signature on the ID. In the event that your
parents are not accessible or are not staying with you in your residence while studying in the University,
inquire from your parent should they rather authorize you or give you full responsibility of yourself in the NSTP
throughout the term. Otherwise, your parent should authorize other persons to act as your guardian in their
absence. In these instances where your parents will authorize you or another person as your guardian, follow
these requirements: secure from the NSTP Office a special authorization form that your parents are
authorizing or giving you full responsibility of yourself, or another person to act as your guardian. Your parents
will accomplish the form properly and submit it back attaching to it their Photocopied ID as your parents and
the Photocopied ID of your authorized guardian with the ID specimen specifications specified above. In the
absence of the parent to serve or to authorize a guardian for the said student, the immediate family member
(grandparent, brothers or sisters of either the mother or the father, or sibling who is at least 21 years old) of
the student may be considered as alternative. This requirement is needed to ensure the proper accomplishing
of activity papers needing signatures and authorization of parents or guardians. Students should have their
own copies of their respective specimen (ID, signature and authorization) in their own personal file. Whenever
they submit documents bearing the signature of their guardian (waivers, letters, etc) they must photocopy
such specimen and attach it to the said document. (NOTE: no parent signature specimen means NSTP
activity participated in will be invalidated)
l. Blood Type Certification: secure form or format from the NSTP Office
m. Secure your official NSTP Uniform (NSTP T-shirt and NSTP Button pin): Your required NSTP 1 uniform is the
white NSTP t-shirt. For specific details on your Uniform, please secure or read our guidelines on NSTP
Uniform from the NSTP Office. Read and understand first the guidelines on NSTP Uniform before acquiring
and using one. Any acquired Uniform and using of Uniform that did not comply with said guidelines on NSTP
Uniform will be invalidated and not honored.
n. Prepare and always bring along emergency/first aid kit.
7. In support to the NSTP apostolate on Voters and Election Education and Responsible Participation, NSTP
students of voting age (18 y/o and above) are encouraged to submit photocopy of voters ID (show original copy
for verification), registration/voting certificate or any proof of COMELEC registration for merit, remedial or
additional hours purposes. To ensure a responsible exercise in governing our country, we register, we vote, and
we vote responsibly. Be referred to your respective supervising instructor for the deadline of submission.
8. Required to vote in the SLU SSC-KASAMA Election: see your NSTP Instructor for the details of this requirement
as this is only applicable every first semester terms.
9. Listen to, understand, and follow training and clerical instructions. As a training activity, students should be
guided by instructions. Whenever you perform a particular activity, always secure and follow specific
instructions. But students should follow instructions only with the expressed authority of the assigned instructor
or the substitute instructor in the absence of the assigned instructor as also authorized by the NSTP Office.
Students should not just get instructions from the staff unless instructors concerned have given written
instruction or authority to the said staff. NSTP training follows appropriate procedures, guidelines and format.
10. As per the RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001 and its IRR, a student should complete an attendance of not less
than 54 hours but not more than 90 hours in the enrolled NSTP training for the current term. To
comprehensively cover the training contents prescribed by the law and the various related memoranda from the
Commission on Higher Education, SLU-NSTP students are required to complete the maximum 90-hour training
requirements. Attendance is included as a grade coverage. Indeed, a student who does not complete the exact
total hours determined and specified by the NSTP Office shall be solely accountable for the implication of not
having completed such exact total hours since this will affect his/her grade on attendance, outputs and other

ONE HEARTONE SOUL

related grading areas (please see grading system bellow). Should a student with absences opt to beat the exact
total hours that should be completed in the class; provided that the students absences are excused, then the
student must, on his/her own initiative and immediately, apply for applicable remedial. However, the grade
bearing of the accomplished remedial therein is case to case. The remedial will only add points to the grade or
score for attendance and not necessarily on the missed outputs. Herein, discretion of the NSTP Office prevails
on how to score or grade such remedial to ensure the grading system of the NSTP is not unreasonably
compromised. Students with excused absences as per SAOs assessment are not required special graded
activity to offset any missed graded activity during such excused absence(s). Instead, any missed graded
activity is computed ratio and proportion. However, if what was missed out in an excused absence is a major
examination or requirement as per the discretion of the NSTP Office, the concerned student is required to
process and undergo a special examination or similar requirement. Meanwhile, only the time spent in the
APPROVED schedules and activities are counted in the said hours-requirement. Also, only hours spent for
PROGRESSING activities are counted in the said hours-requirement. Hours spent with unreasonably repetitive
activities that do not show progress therein are not included. Should there be a need to repeat a particular
activity as part of the lesson for another time or schedule; this should be APPROVED FIRST by the SI and/or
NSTP Coordinator. For instance, a series of meetings which always has the same unreasonable repetitive
agenda will not be counted with multiple hours. This means that if meetings have taken many hours with an
agenda which can reasonably be done in an hour, such will be counted one hour duration only. Meanwhile, an
activity that was done with outstandingly but consuming limited number of hours may also be credited additional
number of hours as deemed by the supervising instructor and the NSTP Office. For instance, an activity that
was done in just an hour but having an outstanding output that is commensurate three hours may be given
additional two hours credit over the one hour time actually spent for the said outstanding activity.
11. Waiting time for walk-in consultation with the coordinator or with the SI is not included in the 54 to 90-hour
requirement. Approved or agreed consultation time if not attended by the SI or NSTP coordinator will still be
credited to the number of hours completion only of those who were present/who reported for the supposed
activity or schedule provided that attendance reports are immediately accomplished and submitted immediately
to the instructor. During such consultation, you are required to bring along your journal or IRR (individual report
record).
12. We are holding some conferences and activities on some Sunday schedules in order to complete the required
training hours and modular training lessons of 54 to 90 hours. NSTP during the time of the ROTC before is
normally offered Sundays on whole day basis. Other schools have adopted the Sunday-whole day NSTP
schedule. In our University, we have adopted a schedule scheme which spread our training program to
weekdays and Sundays. Some NSTP activities are held weekdays, some other activities are held Sundays
which are normally not whole day and which are minimal in frequency. This is to free us from all whole daySunday schedules to give way for our other Sunday priorities. Having some Sunday schedules would definitely
help us complete and do not compromise some important coverage of the training program which we cannot
complete just by weekday classes. Also, the Sunday schedule would help all of us not to be disturbed in our
other academic classes during the weekdays were we to hold the forum by then. Hence, please schedule your
other Sunday priorities on affected Sundays to time schedules not covered by the forum time. This strategizing
definitely is an opportunity for us to develop our creativity skills in managing our concerns, a skill that is
tremendously needed win the world of work. Our Sunday forum topics and activities, besides being part of the
required training program, are avenues of celebrating the Lords holy day. The topics and activities are helping
us enrich ourselves to be the Lords well-equipped co-stewards of his creation as our activities are orienting us
towards committing ourselves as the Lords missionary agents of protecting and promoting the rest of creation.
Hence, it is expected that, likewise, we give our best and holy participation in the said forum. Herein, it is
therefore considered that what prevails as priority in the schedules of NSTP 1 students during such Sundays is
their NSTP 1 activity. Attendance therein is also graded accordingly. In extreme cases where excuses are
merited for such Sunday absences, students concerned must see and secure approval to be absent from the
NSTP Coordinator in advance. Take note, however, that in case absences are excused, concerned students
are still required to accomplish certain requirements or remedial which also includes those which were missed
out during the said absence.
13. Absences, tardiness, or early dismissal are considered deficiencies. Excused absences, tardiness or early
dismissal are given chances for remedial without demerit to offset deficiency in the number of hour-requirement
if so preferred by the concerned student. But take note that deficiency in attendance will mean minus points in
the grade percentage for attendance (see grading system below). Unexcused absences, tardiness or early

ONE HEARTONE SOUL

Tel: 09189193547
dismissal are not given chances for remedial and to be made part of the grade (See grading system below for
the scoring of attendance). Missed graded activities during such unexcused absences, tardiness and early
dismissal are considered zero score point. Indeed, absences, tardiness, and early dismissal are strictly
discouraged as these affect your number of hours performance in the NSTP. Students who need remedial for
their excused absences, tardiness or early dismissal shall report to the NSTP Office and apply for remedial
following approved remedial procedures and activities. Remedial activities shall require parent/guardians
consent/waiver. For remedial, follow up with your instructor when you can apply for your remedial.
14. For students who incurred excused absences, tardiness and early dismissal, secure immediately your excuse
slip from SAO and submit a photocopy of your slip and excuse letter to your NSTP instructor immediately the
class day following your absence. Overdue submission of such excuse slip and other pertinent required papers
for such excused absence automatically forfeits the excused status of such absence and eventually treats such
absence as unexcused and thereby be graded or scored accordingly.
15. However, completing the said hours specified by the NSTP Office is not the sole guarantee that a student will
automatically pass the enrolled NSTP. The student should be passing in the requirements specified in the
grading system as listed subsequently. If therein a student is failing inspite of completing the specified number
of hours, a student may still be given a failing grade.
16. For remedial, follow up with your instructor when can you apply for your remedial. See and follow approved
procedures and guidelines for remedial applicable for the current term.
17. Students who were absent, or who missed an attendance or activity, are personally responsible in
compensating on whatever were missed out. Any absence excused or not, will not automatically excuse a
student from any instruction or assignment missed due to such absence. Any absent student is still required to
comply with assignments or responsibilities that are supposed to be accomplished and prepared for the next
meeting. Be strongly advised to keep in touch with your class mates to know any assignments given.
18. The SAO policy on classroom attendance, tardiness and dropping of class card shall apply. The 15 and moreminute tardiness equals an absence applies during the training regardless of how long the training meeting is.
Moreover, absences are counted per hour. As such for instance, a student who is considered absent in a 3-hour
long continuous activity has incurred three absences.
19. The student is likewise responsible in monitoring whether or not his/her class card is dropped. The student is
further responsible in retrieving such class card and returning it immediately to the training instructor. Take note
of the NO CLASSCARD, NO ENTRY policy. Students attending classes but whose class cards are dropped
shall still be CONSIDERED ABSENT and will not be given credit in any activity participated in. Students are also
responsible in monitoring their attendance record to be updated on any tardiness, absences, early dismissal and
when class card is due for dropping as the case may be.
20. Always monitor and ensure the recording of your attendance. Aside from other attendance records and checking
being prepared and done, each member in the group when accomplishing his/her journal should also list down
the names/attendance of co-members who are present during a particular meeting or activity and have the said
present members sign their names in each ones journal. Do not sign your name in a journal of a group mate
who is absent during the said activity.
21. The entire class is subdivided into ten or more small groups. Each group should choose a leader to represent
and facilitate the group. Just as the leader is accountable of the group members, group members are also
accountable of the leader. This means that the performance of the group is the performance of the leader and
the performance of the leader is the performance of the group. Problems that shall arise therein should be
referred immediately to the training instructor for appropriate attention.
22. During group activities, the leader is expected to ensure the attendance or participation of all members. But
equally, members are responsible in keeping in touch with the leader and with the other members regarding
activities and meetings. No leader or member of the group should just be passive waiting only for instruction
from the group. Everyone in the group should be responsible in ensuring personal attendance and active
participation.
23. At the outset, an NSTP student should be trained to be more careful, disciplined or diligent enough in handling
oneself and responsibilities so as not to incur accountabilities. This will also prepare the student in the very
competitive world of work today to practice his/her best diligence and discipline in handling responsibilities
productively minimizing or avoiding unreasonable accountabilities. Best work espouses discipline and diligence.
To be productive in the workplace, one has to be disciplined and diligent.

24. Students are required to comply and complete given assignments, requirements, or activities within a given
deadline. Late submissions or compliance are given sanctions. Failure to submit or comply with such will cause
a student an INC grade.
25. Process your CLEARANCE at the end of the term (see SI for Instruction):
a. Supervising Instructors Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation. Secure
instruction from your assigned SI for the procedure.
b. NSTP Office Clearance- to be processed by the students before going on vacation.
c. INCs incurred due to failure to process clearance as instructed are given additional remedial requirements.
d. Students who fail to process their clearance or completion of remedial on time will be graded accordingly,
passed or failed (please see grading system). When a student who failed to process such clearance has
standing accountabilities, the student will be given an INC grade. Students with INC can only process their
completion and clearances during the one month grace period in processing INCs as printed in the pink grade
copy of the student; provided, the student will apply for completion and clearance immediately at the NSTP
Office during the enrollment period of the immediate term following subsequently. Or, immediately upon the
official release of the grade, concerned students must report to the NSTP Office. This is to ensure more time
to process completion requirements that apply to a specific INC case. Students applying for completion
during the later period of the one month grace period where time is insufficient to process the completion
requirements are held liable if such time left will not merit sufficient time to complete the INC and will instead
make the INC a permanent mark or the student be given a failing grade which ever applies. Meanwhile,
students concerned should secure from the NSTP Office the procedure of processing completion and follow
such. Not following the procedure of completion of INCs as given by the NSTP Office will automatically
invalidate and cancel any remedial or completion activity undertaken; concerned student is still considered
having not accomplished any remedial or completion at all and will make any given NSTP grade permanent.
e. The student is responsible in processing his/her remedial, clearance or completion at the NSTP Office
following the existing procedure and remedial choices being followed for the term as prepared and approved
by the NSTP Office.
f. Process personally your clearance, remedial or completion. Other persons are not allowed to process for the
student concerned. It is neither the responsibility of the teachers nor the NSTP Office to be running after or
processing application for clearances, remedial or completion for students. If there is an extreme need for
such, discretion of the NSTP Office prevails.
g. Students enrolled in the NSTP must immediately check their NSTP grade upon the release of grades for the
concerned term by the University registrar. This is to ensure that should there be correction in any given NSTP
grade, or should a student need to process any INC or NFE NSTP grade, concerned students are able to
process or accomplish such during the one month completion period set by the University. In the event that
that concerned students failed to check right away their grades as soon as released by the University registrar
for the concerned term and any needed correction of NSTP grade or processing of INC/NFE NSTP is not
accomplished during the said completion period set by the University, such correction of grade and processing
of INC is not anymore allowed or accommodated. Whatever NSTP grade given remains permanent and
concerned students must re-enroll the subject should their grade be failed or INC/NFE.
h. Meanwhile, be reminded that processing an incomplete does not automatically mean a passing grade. Any
submitted or completed requirements or examination is still subject to usual evaluation and grading
procedures. A passing grade is given if merited; otherwise, the grade is failed.
25. NSTP students are expected to strictly observe and practice the SLU Code of Discipline (Student Manual)
during their NSTP in and out of the campus.
26. Observe other required additional dress code during training or apostolate. Aside from those specified in the
SLU student manual, all NSTP students, male and female, are not allowed to wear the following during NSTP
training and activities: heavy cosmetics, jewelries, unnatural hair die, improper haircut / hairstyle and others as
instructed. Other dress code requirement specific to certain training activities are also strictly followed.
27. SLU-NSTP aims to train students to be self-reliant and become independently responsible. College students
should prepare themselves for their employment work where ultimately only themselves are responsible in
accomplishing their job; no work place or employment has so far allowed parents or guardians or other persons
to still cuddle their children or perform the tasks of their children in their childrens workplace. Hence, NSTP
students should accomplish or process requirements or activities strictly by themselves. Parents, guardians or
anyone except the concerned student himself/herself are NOT ALLOWED to accomplish, be involved or process
said requirements or activities in behalf of a student. In case, parents or any other person, if allowed or
