  4. Students are responsible for checking the course syllabus and teacher regarding the missed course content in the event of an absence. Students who are unable to attend class due to college-approved events or extenuating circumstances such as illness, accident, hospitalization, or COVID-19-related reasons should notify the instructor and be prepared to provide any written proof of absences as required by the course syllabus to the instructor and others.

GRADING SYSTEM POLICY

A. GRADING PERIODS
There are four (4) grades issued during the school term, namely the prelim grade, the midterm grade, the pre-final grade, and the final grade

B. GRADE REMARKS
The following grade remarks to be used are only PASSED, FAILED, NG (No Grade or Blank Grade), INC (Incomplete), and DRP (Dropped).
“Incomplete” will be used instead of No Final Exam (NFE) remark. Likewise, “Dropped” will be used instead of Failure due to Absences (FA), Withdraw with permission (WP) or Withdraw without permission (WF) remarks.

C. PRESCRIBED TEMPLATE
A prescribed template for grading system issued by the Academic Affairs Office will be the official and only template to be used by all faculty members. For shortened subject (ex. prelim-midterm only), faculty members will accomplish the entries for prelim and midterm only. This is also applicable to shortened subjects conducted during the prefinal-final only.

D. COMPUTATION OF GRADE
Periodic Grade (Prelim/Midterm/Pre-final/Final Grade) Compositions:
1. Attendance – 10% Average of total attendance following this pointing system: Present/Officially Excused -100%, Late-75%, Absent-50%
2. Activities/Quizzes/Recitation/Machine Problem/Experiments/Laboratory Exercises (Minimum of 3)– 60%
3. Major Exam – 30%
Periodic Grade = 100% Attendance (10%) + Activities (60%) + Major Exam (30%)

Minimum grade (Prelim/Midterm/Pre-final/Final Grade): 50% Maximum grade (Prelim/Midterm/Pre-final/Final Grade): 100%

Transmutation Formula for quizzes, experiments, laboratory, lecture examinations, among others Transmuted Score = 50+(Points obtained / Overall Score)*50

Subject Grade Compositions:
Regular subjects = (Prelim Grade + Midterm Grade + Pre-final Grade + Final Grade)/4 Shortened/Requested subjects = (Prelim Grade + Midterm Grade)/2

Shortened/Requested subjects = (Pre-final Grade+ Final Grade)/2
Existing policy on percentage equivalent of grades is still executory.
Note: For subjects with laboratory, faculty members may use separate prescribed templates for computations of laboratory and lecture grades OR may combine the lecture and laboratory grades in one template.
E. Computed grades of students in each subject must be submitted to the Registrar Office eight days after a major examination OR on or before the specified deadline given by the Dean for Academic Affairs. Follow the prescribed format for the filename of the accomplished template:

GRADE_SubjectTitle_SEM_YEAR_FirstName LastName Example: GRADE_Understanding the Self_1st_SEM_2021-2022_Edgar Geniza

F. Faculty members must update their students regarding their status in their classes by giving them their periodic grades eight days after a major examination. Furthermore, they should submit the copies of midterm periodic grades to the Registrar’s Office every semester.

G. Faculty members should submit a complete list of students with complete grades enrolled in their subjects.

H. Only in extreme cases must faculty members give a grade of INC or NG.

I. Students with a grade of INC or NG should be completed within one semester. For subjects with prerequisites, students should comply two weeks on or before the date of enrollment. Failure to do so will mean no enrollment of the subjects. However, it is the discretion of the Dean for Academic Affairs to provide leniency or consideration for the extension of the completion.

J. Upon submission of the copies of their final reports, all faculty members giving INC or NG must submit to the Dean for Academic Affairs a list of requirements/exam (with key answer) to be complied by their students. Failure to do so will mean giving the Academic Affairs Office the responsibility and authority to give necessary exam and/or pertinent requirements to the students. Faculty members must accomplish per student the Completion Form B AAO-060314-001 issued by the Academic Affairs Office. It is the discretion of the Academic Affairs Office to assign the original faculty member or other faculty members to give the necessary exam and/or pertinent requirements to the student.

K. Faculty members are only allowed to accommodate students with a grade of INC or NG for completion within one semester. They should remind their students with NG or INC to comply with their requirements. Completion Form, together with the proof of completion must be submitted by the faculty members to the Academic Affairs Office within three days after the student filed for completion. If the semester lapses, the Academic Affairs is the duly assigned Office to accommodate students with a grade of NG or INC for completion.

L. Final subject grade once submitted to the Registrar cannot be altered or modified without the approval of the Dean for Academic Affairs. Faculty members should certify in writing (explanation letter) to the Dean for Academic Affairs Office that he/she had committed a clerical error, technical error, mathematical error, among others.
