AREA ENGAGEMENT (AEs)

• Time cards/Area Monitoring Cards are the basis of the students’ attendance in the area engagements. Do not tamper with your time card. 
• Improper uniform means NO ATTENDANCE.

Guidelines for Make-up Session 

• For any missed Area Engagement, make-up should be done after the original engagement weeks, i.e. buffer weeks allotted for each batch.
• For an academic-related absence (e.g. long test, make-up class), the student must submit to the formator 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, the student must submit to the formator an excuse letter (supported with necessary documents: medical certificate, etc.) at most two (2) days AFTER he/she comes back to school.
• If the student misses an Ateneo-based activity, he/she may join the scheduled make-up activity. 

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.
