G. PROVISION FOR FLEXIBILITY

• Students with special needs shall be accommodated accordingly, based on the nature of the course activities and requirements.
• Flexibility shall be observed in cases where time becomes limited or constrained due to the following circumstances:
o Fortuitous events or unforeseen situations (e.g., natural disasters, emergencies).
o Official schedules and unscheduled meetings affecting class sessions.
o Faculty or student involvement in institutional or official activities and travels.
o Student pregnancy, with appropriate adjustments to ensure learning continuity.
o Participation of student-athletes in major events such as Intramurals and SCUAA Meet.
o Unwanted accidents or sudden health-related concerns (e.g., sickness, injury).
• In any of the above cases, the faculty member may opt to:
o Modify, reschedule, or streamline teaching-learning activities and assessments.
o Adjust deadlines and submission requirements for affected students.
o Implement alternative modes of instruction (e.g., online, modular) to ensure coverage of the enabling topics outlined for the
semester.

These provisions aim to uphold inclusivity, ensure academic continuity, and provide equitable opportunities for all students to meet the intended
course outcomes.
