6. GRADING SYSTEM
Note: Class Standing is the sum total of recitation, quizzes, assignments, term
papers, projects and other outputs relevant to the course as prescribed by the
faculty member and approved by the dean.
The computation of grades shall be based on the transmutation table shown
below.
(60% Passing)

7. Class Standing = (Quizzes + Recitation + Reporting)/3

8. Failure Due to Absences (FA):
An “FA” may be assigned when a student has incurred absences beyond 20% of the required
total class hours in a semester (See UA Student Manual for further details).
