Students who are ineligible to receive evaluation as stipulated in the first paragraph shall be awarded an F or U grade, unless withdrawing from the course within the designated period.

The P grade will be replaced upon the completion of the measurement and evaluation. However, it shall be done no later than the grade submission date of the successive regular semester that the student enrolls or registers for University Services. Once the deadline has passed and the student still has not received the measurement and evaluation, the P grade shall be replaced by an F or a U grade.
The exception holds if the student is permitted to take a leave of absence in the successive semester. The P grade shall not be replaced.
- The V grade means that the student has registered as a visitor, without receiving measurement and evaluation for that course, as stipulated in Regulation 14.1 (10). However, attendance must be no less than 80 percent of the class hours. If the student’s attendance is lesser than the specified amount or the student fails to meet the course requirements, the instructor may consider replacing the V grade with a W.

- Only courses completed with the grades of A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D or S, CE, CP, CS, CT and CX are counted towards the cumulative credits for degree completion.
- In the case of repeating a course, only the credits of the last attempt shall be counted towards the cumulative credits for degree completion. The exception holds for courses specified by the University to be eligible for repeating enrollment. In such case, the credits of all attempts shall be counted towards the cumulative credits for degree completion.
- The University calculates the Grade Point Average from the total credits and the grade point values of all enrolled courses that are evaluated using letter grades with point value. For any course that is repeated more than once, all attempts shall be included in the calculation.
- In calculating the Grade Point Average, the product of the credit value and the point value of each course, as stipulated in Regulation 16.14, are summed, and then divided by the sum of the attempted credits earned from courses evaluated using the letter grades with point value. Up to 2 decimals are allowed. In the case where the third decimal has a value of 5 or greater, the second decimal shall be rounded up.
- Students who fail to meet the program’s grade requirement shall repeat the course until the required grade is obtained.
- Students who have been granted the permission to temporarily study in other Higher Education Institutions may request for the credits and the results to be calculated with the results obtained at the University.
Courses enrolled in other Higher Education Institutions must be equivalent in credit, and lecture-based and/or practice-based class hours, in pursuant to the University’s Curriculum Standard Criteria.
