III. GRADING SYSTEM
Grading system is computerized. Grading sheets are submitted to the Registrar’s Office within ten (10) days from the last day of examination. Students are provided with a copy of the final grades through their respective Deans.
Grades are not subject to any change except when it is proven beyond reasonable doubt that there was an error made in the entry.
Standard Formula in computing grades as approved by the Board of Directors as per Academic Board Resolution No. 2018-02 is as follows:
| Preliminary Grade = | 0.60 (Class Standing) + 0.40 | (Preliminary Exam) |
| Midterm Grade = | 0.60 (Class Standing) + 0.40 | (Midterm Exam) |
| End Term Grade = | 0.60 (Class Standing) + 0.40 | (Final Exam) |
| Final Grade = Preliminary Grade + Midterm Grade + End Term Grade |
| 3 |
The Class Standing (CS) is the total of the evaluation of the student’s recitations, quizzes/ tests, homework, seatwork, themes, experiments, laboratory exercises, class report, projects and the like. Lecture and laboratory grades are computed as one, the proportion of which depends upon the policy of the college concerned.
Rating System
The University has adopted the numerical, 5-point system for the undergraduate level as follows:
| GRADE | EQUIVALENT | DESCRIPTION |
| 1.0 | 98-100 | Excellent |
| 1.25 | 95-97 | Superior |
| 1.5 | 92-94 | Very Good |
| 1.75 | 89-91 | Above Average |
| 2.0 | 86-88 | Good |
| 2.25 | 83-85 | Very Satisfactory |
| 2.5 | 80-82 | Satisfactory |
| 2.75 | 77-79 | Fair |
| 3.0 | 75-76 | Passed |
| INC | 70-74 | Incomplete |
| 5.0 | 69-below | Failed |
| INC | Incomplete |
| UD | Unofficially Dropped |
| OD | Officially Dropped |
*This grade is valid for prelim and midterm only.
Incomplete (INC) mark not removed within one (1) year shall be automatically reflected as INC/NG. Students may have Incomplete Marks removed during the schedule of Preliminary Examination in the 1st and 2nd Semester; Mid-term Examination in the Summer Term.
General Weighted Average
The General Weighted Average (GWA) is used in determining candidates for scholarship and honor graduates. The GWA is computed as follows:
GWA = Grade Weight / Total Number of Units where Grade Weight = Grade x Number of Units per subject
