X. GRADING SYSTEM

Two periodical examinations are given every trimester, Mid-term, and Final scheduled in the Academic Calendar.

The standard formula in computing grades are as follows:

 
MIDTERM GRADE:
(CS x .60) + (Midterm Exam Rating x .40)

  END TERM:
(CS x .60) + (Final Exam Rating x .40)

FINAL GRADE: (Midterm Rating + End Term)

2
 
However, the percentage distribution may vary according to the nature of the course/subject.
The Class Standing is the sum of but not limited to recitation, class reports, class participation, term paper, and attendance.
 
Grading System is in Multiples of .25 as follows:
 
For Master’s Programs
1.00 98-100 Excellent
1.25 95-97 Superior
1.50 92-94 Very Good
1.75 89-91 Good
