Junior Engagement Program (JEEP)
Frequently Asked Questions
SY 2018-2019
The Junior Engagement Program
How is JEEP different from the other formation programs of
OSCI?
JEEP is the third year component of the Integrated Ateneo
Formation (InAF) Programs of the Ateneo. It is designed to enable students to
engage with the people from various sectors and communities by stepping into
their shoes and experiencing their way of life.
Classroom Orientation
What if I come late to the Classroom Orientation?
If you miss the grace period (10 mins- discussion on the
definition of JEEP), it merits a “cut.” This means that you will need
to attend the make-up classroom orientation.
What should I do if I miss the Classroom Orientation?
Attend the make-up classroom orientation to avoid any
inconvenience.
Make-up Classroom Orientation for 1st Semester SY1819: Aug. 29, 2018 (5:00-6:30pm); Venue TBA
Enlistment
Can I enlist in any area?
You can only enlist in an area assigned to your Philosophy/
Marketing teacher and/or course.
If you are a part of the Service-Learning (SL)/
Discipline-Based (DB) batch, you will be asked to enlist in the corresponding
area of your course. The formator who coordinates with your department will let
you know of specific arrangements for your course/discipline and how to enlist.
Note that in some cases, a formator will assign you to your
area based on your SLDB requirements and schedule.
How do I enlist in an area?
If you are a part of the Service-Learning (SL)/
Discipline-Based (DB) batch, you will be asked to enlist in the corresponding
area of your course. The formator who coordinates with your department will let
you know of specific arrangements for your course/discipline and how to enlist.
The rest of the students will use the JEEP Enlistment Site
(JES) unless instructed otherwise.
The website for the JEEP Enlistment Site (JES) is:
jeep.ateneo.edu
What username and password should I use in JES?
For your initial log-in, use your STUDENT ID NO. as
your username and password to enter the site. You will be
prompted to change your password. Take note of your new password.
NOTE: JES is different from your AISIS account. Your AISIS
passwords will not work in the system.
Can I change my area and/or schedule after I enlisted online?
Yes. You may delist during the enlistment period. Once
the enlistment period is over, the website will automatically close
and any changes will not be accepted anymore.
My schedule doesn’t fit any available slots. What should I do?
If all JEEP areas are in conflict with your academic schedule,
click “All JEEP Areas are conflicting with my schedule”.
You will be recorded as “CONFLICT” in your current JEEP
enlistment. You will not be able to enlist/delist anymore. Only OSCI can delist
you from your conflict status.
Proceed to OSCI and provide a hard copy of your AISIS class
schedule (with your name and contact details) within the day or the day
after your enlistment schedule. Deadline of submission of AISIS class schedule
is on SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 (Monday, 12nn).
Wait until OSCI provides you with an area compatible with your
schedule. You will be emailed or texted by an OSCI formator.
What if I failed to enlist during our scheduled enlistment
date?
Submit a printout of your AISIS class schedule on or
before SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 (Monday, 12nn). Names of
students who did not bother to approach OSCI will be marked INCOMPLETE in JEEP.
What if my parents do not allow me to participate in JEEP for
security reasons?
Consult with an OSCI formator ASAP and submit a letter from
your parents. You will be assigned in a area that will be determined by your
formator.
Claiming of Medical Assessment Forms
What if I failed to have my medical check-up during my
Sophomore Year?
Go to your family physician and ask for a medical certificate.
Have copies ready. Submit one copy to the LS Health Services and the other one to
OSCI. Just make sure to have your copy validated by the LS Health Services
before submitting it to OSCI.
How do I claim my medical assessment form?
Refer to the medical assessment page of this blog.
What if I will have my medical check-up done outside?
Refer to the medical assessment page of this blog.
What if I have a health condition? (physical and mental)
Consult with your physician if you will be cleared to
participate in JEEP. Ask for a medical certificate with your physician’s
recommendations. You will be assigned in an area that fill fit your physician’s
recommendations.
What if I did not enlist for claiming the medical assessment
form during the sign-up period?
Go to your family physician and ask for a medical certificate.
Have copies ready. Submit one copy to the LS Health Services and the other one
to OSCI. Just make sure to have your copy validated by the LS Health Services
before submitting it to OSCI.
What if I did not claim my medical assessment form during the
enlisted schedule?
Your slot will be forfeited. You will need to go to your
personal doctor and ask for medical clearance. You must then have your medical
clearance stamped at the Loyola Schools Health Services before submitting your
form to OSCI
Integration Session (IS)
What is the integration session?
It is a session meant to prepare students for the area
engagements.
What if I miss my Integration Session?
Talk to your formator to schedule a make-up Integration
Session.
Area Orientation (AO)
What should I wear during area orientation?
White shirt (no Ateneo shirt), maong pants, rubber shoes. Some
areas require students to wear their area engagement uniform. Formators will
inform students if this is the case.
If a student does not war the proper AO uniform, he or she
will automatically be left behind.
What if I miss the area orientation?
Student will still be accommodated given that there are
available chances for make-up area orientation. Those who miss the last chance for make-up AO will
not be accommodated. Note that some areas do not offer make-up AOs.
What should I bring during the area orientation?
Documents and/or fees required by the area (if there are any)
such as bio-data with picture, 1x1 picture, etc. Take note that these are area
requirements and are different from the documents required by OSCI.
What if I failed to bring those requirements?
All requirements should still be submitted, penalty will be
given to those who will fail to comply.
What if I arrive late for the Area Orientation?
You will be automatically left behind. Note that the area
orientation is required before proceeding with the area engagement and some
areas do not offer a make-up area orientation.
What if I submit the OSCI requirements late?
OSCI requirements are different from those required by the
area. OSCI requirements include the student profile sheet with 2x2 colored
picture, guardian’s reply slip, medical assessment form, and signed conforme.
Students cannot proceed with the area engagements if they do not submit the
OSCI requirements.
Those who will submit their JEEP documents late will be
penalized. But, students who do not submit at all will not be accommodated and
therefore merit an INCOMPLETE for JEEP. Submission period is on SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2018.

Area Engagement
How many hours are we required to complete?
JEEP requires 16 hours of area engagement. Though some SLDB
courses may have different models and different required number of hours.
What are the requirements and uniform?
These will depend on the institution. Take note of the details
stated in the JEEP blogspot and verify these during your area
orientation.
How do we get to the area/ institution?
The formators will teach you how to commute during your area
orientation. You may go directly to the area come your shift. You are highly
encouraged to commute going to and from the area.
What will I do if I am absent due to academic concerns and
sickness?
You may make-up for your absence during the buffer week, given
that you submitted the following:
For an academic-related absence (e.g. long test, make-up class), an
excuse letter noted by the concerned professor at least two
(2) days BEFORE the scheduled duty day.
For absence due to sickness or death in the family, an excuse letter (supported with necessary
documents: medical certificate, etc.) at most two (2) days AFTER you
come back to school.
What if I already have more than one absence?
If your reason is valid, approach your OSCI formator with your
excuse letter and supporting documents (e.g. medical certificate). Wait for the
approval of your OSCI formator before going back to the area.
If you have invalid reasons, you will not be accommodated
anymore and will be given an INC for JEEP.
What if my area engagement falls on a holiday?
HOLIDAYS should be observed. Exception will be granted only when the
schedule does not permit students to make up for the
loss in time and only when the students, formator and area
supervisor/monitor agree on this arrangement.
What if I arrive late during my area engagement?
You should make-up for the lost time (i.e. coming in at 5
minutes past one’s time shift will entail leaving the area 5 minutes
past one’s time).
In the event that the area is locked into a strict schedule,
you will be marked absent and should make-up for your
absence during the buffer week.
What if failed to wear the prescribed uniform?
You will be sent home and marked absent. You should make-up for
your absence during the buffer week.
Can I smoke in the area?
No. If a colleague invites you to have a smoke with him or
her, politely tell him no.
What if someone asks for my cellular number?
Politely tell them that you are not allowed to give them the
information.
Will I always see my formators in the area?
No. Formators monitor you discretely. You may or you may not
see them at all.
Do we have a break during engagements?
Institutions will provide a 15-20 minute break during your
area engagement. Take this as an opportunity to interact with your co-workers.
Can I take pictures?
This is generally not allowed. However, if you wish to take
pictures, please consult with your formator.
