Guidelines for a Stress-Free ACET weekend

The Ateneo College Entrance Test (ACET) for applicants for SY 2018-2019 will be administered at the Ateneo High School and the Ateneo Grade School  on September 23 and 24, 2017, Saturday and Sunday. In addition, select high school students are assigned to take the ACET at our Xavier School test site on September 23, 2017, Saturday.  There will be two sessions per test day: 7:30am-12:30pm for the morning session and 1:30pm-6:30pm for the afternoon session.

Please expect heavier traffic along Katipunan and inside the campus particularly at 6:30-7:30 am, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm and 5:30-7:30pm.

FOR ACET EXAMINEES AND PARENTS AND COMPANIONS OF ACET EXAMINEES

For a stress-free ACET weekend, the following guidelines are provided.

1. How to get to Ateneo?

The ACET P2P is your most convenient option to get to Ateneo during the ACET day. This is Ateneo?s shuttle service program for ACET examinees in the Grade School and High School test sites.

For a minimal fee of P50, you can ride hassle-free from our hubs to Ateneo. After the exam, you can also ride back to your preferred hub.

Private vehicles will not be allowed into the test site itself. Only ACET P2P shuttles will be allowed access into the test sites. Save yourself from the stress of asking for directions and looking for parking, and help ease traffic while you’re at it! This is your last chance to register at tinyurl.com/ACET2017-P2P.

2. (For those with private vehicles) Which gate to enter?

• For examinees at the Ateneo High School test site: Gate 3
• For examinees at the Ateneo Grade School test site: Gate 2
• For examinees at the Xavier School test site: Gates 9 and 10

3. (For those with private vehicles) Where to park?

All vehicles of examinees at the Ateneo HS and GS can park at the area beside the blue Eagle Gym near Gate 2.

• For examinees at the Ateneo High School test site: P2-P6
• For examinees at the Ateneo Grade School test site: P1 & P7

You will be given a map upon entering the campus.

There are limited slots for parking so vehicles of afternoon session examinees can only drop off near the test sites but cannot park on campus between 10:00am to 2:00 pm.

• For examinees at the Xavier School test site: multi-level carpark (for a minimal parking fee)

4. After the exam, how do I fetch the examinee?

• (For those taking the ACET at the High School test site) To avoid vehicle build-up at the High School test site at noontime, no one may be picked up at the High School test site after the ACET.  Yellow schoolbuses shall be provided to bring examinees who finished taking the ACET to Dropoff B, the designated dropoff area near the Blue Eagle Gym. This is near the official parking area for vehicles of ACET examinees. Examinees may choose to walk if they do not wish to ride the schoolbus.
• (For those taking the ACET at the Grade School test site). Examinees may be picked up at the Grade School test site.

5. What to do while waiting?

Parents and companions of examinees are invited to visit the ACET Caf at the Loyola Schools Rizal Library. We have various fun activities lined up for you for the day such as a campus tour, a library tour, an art gallery visit, the Ateneo orientation talk, a film showing and a UAAP Basketball game live telecast. We will also celebrate the anticipated Holy Mass on Saturday afternoon.

Schedules for thesis defense and thesis proposal defense for SY 2015-2016

Thesis defense schedules for PS 199.5 and PS 199.8 for SY 2015-2016

Thesis Defenses (Ps 199.8) will be held during the week of April 11-16. This week is the 3rd week before Seniors’ Final Exams (which will be held from May 2-4) and was so chosen to allow ample time for any preparation for submission for consideration for the SOSE Awards (which will be given during the week of May 10-13).

Thesis drafts are expected to be with the panelists one week before the defense (i.e. April 4-9). Hence, students are expected to submit their drafts to their advisers one week before the deadline for submission to the panelists (i.e. Mar 28 – Apr 2).

Thesis Proposals (Ps 199.5) will be held during the week of May 2-7. This week is the 2nd week before the Regular Final Exams (which will be held from May 16-21).

Proposal drafts are expected to be with the panelists one week before the defense (i.e. April 25-30). Hence, students are expected to submit their drafts to their advisers one week before the deadline for submission to the panelists (i.e. April 18-23).

The actual proposal/thesis grade may be lowered by 0.5 quality points (e.g. A reduces to a B+, B+ reduces to a B, etc.) for each day of lateness in submitting the draft to the panelists.
