Letter Grading Scheme: |
|
|
- Relative
Minimum achievement standard linked to content mastery is established. Student's
performance relative to his peers forms the basis for award of a grade with minimum
standard in perspective.
- Award of grades may be based on a normal curve or any other method as deemed suitable.
- An upper limit on percentage of students in a course that can have a particular
grade may be placed, if required
|
‘W’ Grade: |
|
|
- A student may withdraw from a course latest up to one week after the mid term examination.
- Withdrawn courses shall appear in the transcript with a letter grade "W", and will
not be treated as "F" grade.
- Maximum six(6) Part I and six(6) Part II subjects may be withdrawn during the duration
of study by a student.
|
Grade Change Request: |
|
|
- A student may submit a Grade Change Request to the chairman’s Office specifying
the specific reason for change in grade.
- Grade Change Requests must be submitted not later than one week after the first
grade was posted or within the first week of the following semester, whichever is
later.
- Normally, the only person who can change a grade is the faculty member who gave
the grade; however, in case that faculty member is no longer available or cannot
be reached, the department chairman has the authority to evaluate the situation
and change a grade, if required.
- When a grade is to be changed, the chairman shall forward the case to the Dean with
justification for change. The result will be modified after approval of the Vice
Chancellor.
