Welcome to your InTACT class!

"InTACT is a year-long subject for the freshmen. It is the first Non-academic program that the Ateneo student has to go through to complement their academic pursuits. InTACT hopes to aid young freshies to cope with the rigors of the Ateneo education and be of guid as its students grow into young adults."

Welcome to your InTACT class! InTACT will be your homeroom class for the rest of your freshman year here at the Ateneo de Manila University - so you are free to feel at home whenever you browse through this site. This is a site of hospitality. It is a site of learning and exchange as well.

You homeroom adviser is Ms. Sheri Anne Zerna. Your student facilitator is EJ Segovia.
Your InTACT class is held every Wednesday, 9.30-10.30 am, at Bel-207.

Announcements, homeworks, reminders and some activities will be posted and hosted through this site. So please make sure that you visit this from time to time. Make it a habit!

Session 1: Expectation Setting

We hope that you kinda got a feel of how InTACT will be in the next coming months. And we promise you that the thing we did this morning was just an introduction. The next meetings will be more fun-filled, exciting, and exhilarating. So always make it a point to attend your InTACT class.

Some important matters that you need to know:

1. Make sure that you settle all of the following requisites:
• Official school ID (if you still do not have one, go to ADSA, Xavier Hall)
• Tuition Payment (if you still aren't enrolled, go to the Cashier's office, Xavier Hall)
• Guidance Tests (if you still haven't taken the test, go to the LS Guidance Office, Socsci Bldg.)
• Listed in all classes (if you aren't listed in any of your classes, go to the Registrar's office, Socsci Bldg.)
  
2. You are required to attend the University Cheer Rally on June 27, Friday, 4.30-6 at the Blue Eagle Gym. Attendance will be checked. The Cheer Rally is equivalent to one InTACT session; therefore if you miss it, you get a cut.
3. Remember that you are only allowed to incur three cuts for your InTACT class. You can incur a full cut if you absent yourself from class (with or without a valid excuse). You can incur a half-cut if you come to class late or you miss to submit a requirement on time.
   
4. The class beadle is tasked to:
• be the point person of the Homeroom Adviser and Student Facilitator for any announcements or special instructions
• ensure that the room is ready for the InTACT class: blackboard is wiped clean, chairs are arranged, etc.
• report to ADSA whenever the facilitators do not arrive for the session.

Homework for next meeting, June 25:

1. Read through your InTACT Syllabus. If you have any questions or objections about what is written in your syllabus, kindly prepare them for next week. It is a must that you bring your InTACT Syllabus next meeting. If you miss it, you incur half a cut.
   
2. Please create a name tag. Wearing a name tag will actually make it easier for us, facis, to remember your nicknames and faces. You may use your ORSEM name tag if you wish!
   
3. Please bring a 3x5 index card with a 1x1 id picture (recent and colored).
