Students who commit flagrant violations as stated in the Student Handbook will be dropped from the Program.

ATTENDANCE POLICIES

The Graduate School of Business believes that regular and punctual attendance is imperative for educational success. Students are expected to be in school for each meeting unless ill or unable to attend due to unavoidable circumstances.

Please be guided accordingly on the following policies:

A student is considered late if he/she arrives after the first 15 minutes of the scheduled class period.
He or she is only allowed a maximum of three absences. More than three absences will merit a failing grade of 鈥�5.00.鈥�
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the student to monitor his/her accumulated number of absences.

Likewise, GSB Professors are expected to attend all their classes. Kindly notify the GSB office in advance in case of absence in the class and for make-up classes

GRADING SYSTEM

1. CREDITS

The number of credits for a subject is determined by the number and length of class meetings per week, per trimester. Thus, a class meeting of three hours a week for one trimester gives three units credit.
The maximum study load of a student is nine (9) units per trimester unless one is not enrolled in the regular program and the minimum is six (6) units per trimester.

2. GRADING SYSTEM

2.1 Rationale

In consonance with the University鈥檚 thrust of academic excellence, the programs adopt a grading system that is objective, accurate, and reflective of the student鈥檚 scholastic performance.

In accordance with Section 107 of the Manual of Regulations for Private Higher Education (2008), the College adopts the policy that the final grade or rating given to a student in a subject should be based solely on his/her scholastic performance. Any addition or diminution to the grade in a subject for co-curricular activities, attendance, or misconduct shall not be allowed, except when such adjustments are relevant to the subject content and requirements.
