SHS

The SHS follows the guidelines on suspension of classes as stipulated on DepEd order no. 37, s. 2022. Announcements on suspension of classes are cascaded through the advisers and are being posted in NEO, MS TEAMS, and FB page.

COLLEGE

iACADEMY will follow the declaration of class suspension from CHED and/or the Local Government of Makati. All academic and social activities in the college will be suspended automatically when typhoon signal number three (3) is raised. In the event that onsite classes are suspended, these classes will automatically be reverted to online distance learning modality. Follow and subscribe to iACADEMY's official communication channels to stay updated.

Approach your teacher as soon as possible and find out if there's anything you can do or submit in order to pass.  You will also be given the chance to attend remedial classes if you have indeed failed a certain subject.  You need to complete your requirements or finish your remedial classes at the appointed date before you can be allowed  to enroll in the next semester.

Secure a Leave of Absence form from the Registar's Office.  Accomplish and submit it for approval. 

Each academic program has a set of core, professional, and elective courses. These ensure that the student has acquired the necessary concepts, skills, and competencies for an optimal learning experience. 

Students have access to the GOAL Primer that contains the technical requirements of the devices specific to their program. Students may also avail themselves of iACADEMY’s I.T. technical support and External Linkages and Partnerships Departments’ gadget discount program. 

External Linkages and Partnerships Department (ELPD) regularly updates the list of partner gadget stores that iACADEMY students may avail themselves of discounts. Email externallinkages@iacademy.edu.ph for the latest list or for more questions.

Certain academic programs give students the option to enroll in subjects belonging to another specialization thereby allowing them to expand their knowledge base and increase their employment opportunities.  This option is made available to students in their third year of study. 

Depending on your current standing and specialization, you may consult with your program chair for initial advising.

The Finance office will send a confirmation email of your official enrollment.  NEO Class links will be sent to you within 48 hours upon confirmation of official enrollment. 

iACADEMY follows the CHED and local government guidelines on work and/or class suspensions. In the absence of these pronouncements, previously announced synchronous or asynchronous sessions will still take place while ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of all members of the school community. 

During these cases too, previously announced synchronous activities may be shifted to asynchronous sessions, with the teachers giving official announcements to the students through NEO LMS, email, Viber Group community, and/or other iACADEMY official communication channels.

No. iACADEMY is a safe space, and student privacy is of utmost importance. We adhere to the Data Privacy Act which means recording and sharing of class sessions and instructional materials are NOT PERMITTED without the consent of the school. 

iACADEMY aims to foster a family atmosphere at all times and does not tolerate any form of bullying or harassment. Should incidents on this matter occur, the student is advised to get in touch with the Student Services Office via osas@iacademy.edu.ph.

Students can email the I.T. department through infotech@iacademy.edu.ph. to get more information on how to access or download the software.

For subjects that use freeware and/or open-source software, the instructor in charge of the subject will give instructions on where and how to download and install said software.

For ANIMATION courses, iACADEMY has been given the Center of Excellence recognition which allows its students to freely download ToonBoom using his/her iACADEMY email address. This is the same for Autodesk Maya and Unity. 

For NEO LMS technical concerns, kindly reach out directly to the admin team: college-neo-admin@iacademy.edu.ph.

iACADEMY through the collaborative efforts of the Academic Departments of School of Computing, School of Design and Arts, and School of Business and Liberal Arts, External Linkages & Partnerships Department, and industry partners have devised equivalent remote work projects equivalent to the required competencies students must learn in lieu of the usual job immersion.

iACADEMY EXPANDED HyFlex provides flexible learning to students through efficient modalities built on  iterative and engaging learning experiences. Through this, students may now attend classes for courses/subjects best delivered via face-to-face and online learning. Students who opt to continue online learning may still do so through well-designed class activities that simulate real-world processes and meaningful assessments.

A student may opt to attend HyFlex classes online throughout the term due to valid reasons (eg: health).

Your class links have been sent to your iACADEMY email. Kindly check your spam folder for the possibility that it may have landed there. Your class Google Meet link is also available via your NEO LMS News section. If you have checked all these and still have no access to your class link, kindly reach out to your teacher or email collegeacademics@iacademy.edu.ph.

We understand that unexpected events can happen and sometimes students may miss their final exams. If this happens, there may be an opportunity to make up the exam at a later date. However, please keep in mind that there may be a penalty or fee associated with this, and the makeup exam may be different from the original to ensure academic honesty.

In case of a valid excuse for missing the exam, such as a medical or family emergency, the student may be able to reschedule the exam without any penalty. To know more about your exam policies and explore your options, we encourage students to communicate with their respective instructor or academic advisor as soon as possible. We are here to support you in any way we can.

For students who are aiming to graduate with honors, it's important to note that the cut-off for the second honor is 1.50. 

Students who haven't consistently been part of the Dean's List may still qualify for graduation with honors as long as they meet the general weighted average requirement. For more information on honors and awards, please refer to section 11 of our Student Handbook. This additional resource contains helpful guidelines to help you achieve your academic goals.

For continuing college students with failed courses, academic advising is conducted before enrollment. Selected representatives from your department are willing and ready to assist you on how to best move forward with your academic journey.

Yes. iACADEMY conducts an Add-Drop period, allowing enrolled students to make adjustments to their academic load enrollment for the term. During this period, you have the opportunity to shift classes or section to a schedule that better suits your availability.

No. DRIVE allows students to learn and accomplish assessments at their own pace, but they can only do so in academic and specialized tracks that are only available to them in their year level. Students must still adhere to the academic calendar for the start and finish of the academic year.

There are multiple ways to reach out with the personnels and success coaches of DRIVE in iACADEMY. For immediate academic-related concerns, students and parents can reach out with their success coaches through our learning management system, NEO. For a more real-time consultation that may be in the bounds of understanding the academic materials uploaded in NEO. Students may also book a consultation through the use of iACADEMY’s Student Management System. Upon the confirmation of the schedule set according to the students’ and success coach’s availability, students will be invited to attend a meeting which will be held in the Gather Town, the official virtual hub of DRIVE. If the students and parents are still in the midst of familiarizing themselves with the academic technology of iACADEMY, they may, for the meantime, reach out through email.
