Mid-term Grade	Class Standing  × 2 + Mid-term Exam Grade                                  3
Final Grade	Tentative Grade × 2 + Mid-term Grade                                    3
Tentative Grade	Class Standing × 2 + Final Exam Grade                                  3

 

The passing grade in the class of the Graduate School is 3.0. However, a student must have a general average of 2.0 in all prescribed courses before taking the Comprehensive Examination.      

 

Other marks used but not included in the computation of the general weighed average are:

INC (Incomplete) – This mark is given when the student whose class standing throughout the duration is hanging due to illness or other valid reasons. 

 

Pr (In Progress) - This mark is given to on-going thesis/dissertation and independent research only. A numerical grade shall be given after the approval of the thesis/dissertation by the Advisory Committee and submission of an acceptable project report, respectively.

 

S (Satisfactory) or (Unsatisfactory) - This is given to a student in a Seminar course. S mark shall be counted as credit hours only.

 

WP (withdrawn with Permit) - This mark is given for courses that are withdrawn beyond two weeks after the start of class.
