Other conditions favorable to the student shall be left to the discretion of the instructor.

5.32. Incomplete Grades
5.32.1. “Inc.” shall be given when a student whose class standing throughout the semesters is passing
but fails to appear for the final examination or fails to complete other requirements for the course
due to illness or any other valid reasons. If, in the opinion of the department head the absence is
justifiable, the student may take a special examination.
5.32.2. In case the class standing is not passing and the student fails to take his examination for any
reason, a grade of “5” shall be given.
5.32.3. In any such event, it shall be the responsibility of the faculty member concerned to submit to the
University Registrar the completion grade using the prescribed form thereof and to furnish a copy
to the concerned student, the department chairman and the College Dean within the one-year
period reckoned from the end to the semester wherein the grade of incomplete had been given.

5.33. Special Examinations
5.33.1. Removal examinations due to the inability of a student to take the final examination shall be covered
by the following rules:
5.33.1.1. The removal examination may be taken during regular examination periods if the course in
which a student failed to take his final examination is included in the schedule of examination
for the period during which said removal examination is to be taken.
5.33.1.2. Removal of the deficiency shall be done within the prescribed time by passing the examination
or meeting all the requirements of the course after which the student shall be given a final
grade based on his overall performance.
5.33.1.3. The period within which, a student takes the removal of a mark of “Inc” shall not extend beyond
one semester from the date the mark was received. A mark of “Inc.” not removed within the
prescribed period shall automatically become a “5” or its equivalent.
5.33.1.4. Only one re-examination shall be allowed which shall be taken within the prescribed period. If a
student does not remove the grade of “inc.” within the reglamentary period, a grade of 5 or its
equivalent shall be entered in his student records.
