PROPOSED CHANGES TO ISCC ACADEMIC POLICIES

GRADING SYSTEM
The academic performance of ISCC students are evaluated and graded at the end of each term
in accordance with the institution’s prescribed grading system. ISCC adopts the following grading
system with following percentage equivalents and descriptions. The grading system uses number
grades in multiples of 0.25 starting from 1.0 to 5.0, where 1.0 is the highest,3.0 as the lowest passing
grade, and 5.0 as the failing grade.

Grade Point % Equivalent Description


1.0 98 – 100 Excellent
1.25 95 – 97
1.50 92 – 94 Very Good
1.75 89 – 91
2.00 86 – 88 Good
2.25 83 – 85
2.50 80 – 82 Satisfactory
2.75 77 – 79
3.0 75 – 76 Passed
5.0 Below 75 Failed

BASES OF GRADES

1. The Final Grade shall be computed using the following:


Midterm Period Grade = 50%
Final Period Grade = 50%
Final Grade = sum of both the Midterm and Final Grade

2. Each grading period is composed of the following:


Class Standing = 60%
Major Exam = 40%

3. A final grade with a percentage equivalent that is equal or in excess of .5 shall be


automatically rounded off to the nearest whole number. A final grade with a percentage
equivalent that is lower than .5 shall be automatically rounded off to the nearest whole
number. After rounding off to the nearest whole number, the grade point is determined
Example: 86.5 rounded off to 87, 87 is equivalent to 2.0
85.4 rounded off to 85, 85 is equivalent to 2.25

UNIFORM TRANSMUTATION OF GRADES
The institution will follow a uniform formula to compute for the % equivalence of raw
scores. Below is the formula for equivalent % grade:

Raw Score
Equivalent % = x 45 + 55
Total Score

COMPUTATION OF THE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)


The computation of the GPA shall be as follows:
1. Multiply the credit units for each course by the grade earned to compute for the credit point
per course.
2. Add the credit points per course to determine the total
3. Compute for the GPA by dividing the total number of credit points by the total number of
credit units. The GPA should be computed to two (2) decimal places
4. NSTP grades shall not be included in the computation of the GPA.

GRADUATION HONORS
The following criteria shall be used for the selection of students who shall be awarded
graduation honors. To be considered a candidate for graduation honors, a student must comply with
the following requirements:
1. Should have completed a minimum of 75% of the required courses of the program in the
institution which will award the degree or diploma;
2. Should have an academic load of at least eighteen (18) units each regular semester or as
indicated in the curriculum
3. Residence:
a. For SUMMA CUM LAUDE: maximum of five years residence for four-year degree
program
b. For MAGNA CUM LAUDE: maximum of five years residence for four-year degree
program
c. For CUM LAUDE: maximum of five years residence for four-year degree program
4. A student must meet the following grade requirements:

Honors General Weighted Average

Summa Cum Laude GPA of 1.0 – 1.25, with no grade lower than 1.5
Magna Cum Laude GPA of 1.26 – 1.50, with no grade lower than 1.75
Cum Laude GPA of 1.51 – 1.75, with no grade lower than 2.0

 In the case that a student meets the required GPA for the Latin honors but has a grade lower
than the required criteria, the student will automatically receive the next lower ranking honor.

criteria for the selection of students who shall be awarded graduation honors.

SAFEKEEPING OF RECORDS
Each department shall keep and maintain the class records of their respective faculty at the
end of every semester. This includes the record of grades of general education faculty members
handling courses under each department. A uniform grading system as well as the criteria for
grading must be reflected on the class records.

TRANSPARENCY ON THE COMPUTATION OF GRADES

concerned must be available to answer and explain the student’s queries.
