PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PROFILE

Failure to pass a subject twice shall disqualify the student from the graduate

program.

Similarly, a graduate student must maintain a GPA of 2.00 or better every

term in order to qualify to continue with his program.

q. Grades and Grading System. The University shall adopt the numerical grading

system of “1.00” to “5.00”, where “1.00” is the highest grade and the “5.00” is a failing

grade. The system of grading is as follows:

A grade of “Inc.” is given to a student with passing class standing but fails to

complete other course requirements. Removal of “Inc.” grade must be done by

meeting all the requirements for the course within one year immediately following the

term in which the grade “Inc.” was incurred. If a student fails to remove the “Inc.”

grade within one (1) year, he shalt automatically be given a grade of “5.00” in the

subject.

A student, who incurred an incomplete grade under a professor who has

gone abroad for more than six (6) months or who has transferred or resigned, may

complete his-Inc. Grade under another professor of the same subject.

r. Changing of Degree Program/major and Minor Fields. A student who plans to

change his graduate program should apply to the GS-OLC. Credentials of the

applicant shall be forwarded to the Screening Committee of the department where he

is planning to take his new graduate program. A change in a student’s

major/minor/cognate fields must be endorsed by his Adviser and the Chair of the

Department where the student plans to take his new major/minor/cognate field, and

approved by Dean.

s. Qualifying Examination. Only regular doctorate degree students shall be allowed

to take the written qualifying examination after earning nine units of the required

courses. The examination shall be administered by the Advisory Committee. The
