Student Discipline Program

Holy Angel University aims to make itself a more responsive and accessible instrument for the advancement of equality and the promotion of social responsibility, thus serving as a catalyst for change towards a society of freedom, justice and peace (HS Student Manual, 2007).

It recognizes that discipline is a part of total education thus, a student discipline program was created. The student discipline program strives to develop a responsive Christian community instilling in the students self-discipline, critical thinking, sense of responsibility and maturity towards greater respect for themselves and for others inside and outside the school campus.

It helps the students become God-fearing servant leaders through the observance and practice of Christ-centered behavior. The Student Discipline Office also aims to help students avoid socially unacceptable behavior so they could become socially, physically and emotionally stable and live a life with integrity and dignity. Along with this is its authority to administer the necessary sanctions and disciplinary measures in a fair and consistent manner cognizant of rules and regulations; not to impose punishment or penalty, but to prevent misconduct.
