In line with this important event, please be guided by the following:

1. Mode of teaching and learning from 2-6 pm on November 6:  While classes may remain in the mode as they have been scheduled in the syllabi of courses for that day, we recommend that undergraduate and graduate lecture classes of GBSEALD, JGSOM, SOH, SOSE, SOSS shift to online asynchronous mode from 2-6 pm on Wednesday, 6 November 2024, to give a better chance for faculty to attend the ceremonies. Laboratory classes may proceed onsite as scheduled. Regular face-to-face classes will resume at 6 pm.

Similar arrangements, where appropriate, are at the discretion of the Deans in Ateneo Law, ASMPH, AGSB, and ASOG.

2. Assembly time and venue: Faculty members, professionals, and administrators who will join the processional are requested to assemble at the Ground Floor of Areté’s Innovation Wing by 2:30 pm.  The processional will start promptly at 3:00 pm.

The appropriate penalty fee will be charged to the personal account of the concerned faculty, administrator, or professional.
