Once the student applicant is admitted to the University, he/she enters into a contractual relation with the University. He agrees to bind himself to a strict observance and compliance with all the policies, standard rules and regulations of the University, and the law. Failure to do so empowers the University to impose the corresponding sanction in accordance with the law and/or regulations of the school. Except in cases of academic delinquency, violation of school rules and regulations, or the closure of the school itself, a student who qualifies for enrollment is qualified to stay for the entire period in which he is expected to complete his course.
