RE:ACTIVITIES FROM AUGUST 5 to 8
Greetings! Welcome to all our students! Welcome to the opening of the school year 2024-25!
To ensure that we are all properly oriented and guided as we begin this school year, I would like to clarify our activities for the first week of classes.
August 5 and 6: The faculty and staff of the Higher Education Unit will be conducting their Higher Education Convocation. Details of this activity have been provided in another memo.
Classes on these dates will be conducted asynchronously. Students are
expected to access their class courseware in Daigler to view course outlines, FIDP, class rules and policies, and the course calendar published by their respective teachers.
To help navigate the courseware in Daigler20, first-year students are asked to watch the tutorial on Daigler20 Orientation for Students. All other students are also invited to watch the Daigler20 tutorial video, for review.
August 7-8: We will have the various School/Cluster Orientations at the Martin Hall. These are considered alternative classes but only during the periods scheduled for each school. Students are required to be in attendance during this event. Regular face-to-face classes will be conducted during other times.
