Issuance of Special Permit

I. The Roosevelt College System subscribes to the
position taken by CHED, TESDA, and DepEd that:

The office dissapproves the practice of excluding

from the final examinations students who have been
permitted to remain the school up to the last month
of the school year or term without having settled
their financial obligation.
When a students fails to meet his/her financial
obligations, the school shall drop him from the rolls.
But when s/he is allowed to remain in school until
the end of the term, he should not be deprived for
them examination, The school may, however,
withhold from the student his/her final grades in
such examinations until he has completely settled
his tuition and other accounts with the school;
provided that the grades of such students are duly
recorded and submitted with the rest of the students
on the prescribed forms. In the book authored byu
Atty. Ulpiano P. Sarmiento III, Educational Law and
Private Schools. Pages 398-399, 2002, the
following classifications were made. Here are the
pertinent portions of his explanations:
II. To justify therefore the decision not to re-admi a
student due to non-payment of the unauthorized
fees, the following should be present:

1. The student must have failed and continuously

fails to pay for the whole or a substantial amount of
the authorized school fees that have fallen due and
demandable;
2. The student must not have been permitted to
remain in school up to the last month of the school
year or term without having settled his/her financial
obligation;
3. Formal written demand for the payment of the
fees must have been sent by the school to the
student and/or the parents (in case the student is
still a minor or, even if already of age, is still
dependent on the parents for support). The letter
must provide for the reasonable period within which
he student/parents is (are) to pay; otherwise the
pupil/student shall henceforth be denied admission
to the school; and

That notwithstanding the demand and the lapse of

the reasonable time to pay as stated in the letter,
the student or the parents still failed or refused to
pay the fees.
