    Course Credits<\/h6>\n

    The progress of a student in his study measured in unit-credits earned. One unit credit is equivalent to 17 to 18 hours of classroom instructions, including examinations. Thus, a typical subject (class) meets for 3 hours per week for 18 weeks in a semestral term, or at least 54 hours for a full summer term. Assuming a passing grade, 3 units-credit are earned for the subject.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Study Load \u2013 The maximum study load a student can normally carry is 21 units per semester and 9 units in a summer term.<\/li>\n
    2. Students are not allowed to carry an overload of subjects. However, in the case of a graduating student or in special cases upon approval of the Dean of Studies, a student may carry an overload of not more than 3 units behind the normal maximum load.<\/li>\n
    3. No overload without prior approval of the Dean of Studies will be credited.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

      Grades & Grading System<\/h6>\n

      Grades are symbol which provide records of a student\u2019s participation in the relevant study experiences; and the quality of a student\u2019s performance in achieving the course goals is evaluated and recorded in the form of grades.
      \nGrading is the sole responsibility of faculty members; however, it must be based on the policies and procedures prescribe by the School Administration.<\/p>\n

        The Ten-Point Numeral Grading System<\/h6>\n

        PSBA adopts the Ten-Point Numeral Grading System, with grade points and corresponding narrative descriptions, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
        Ten Point Numerical<\/th>\nGrades<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

        5.0<\/th>\nFailed<\/td>\n0.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

        Note: Grade of 4.0 (conditioned) is used only for mid term grading; not for final.<\/li>\n

      2. \n
        Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed as follows:<\/h6>\n
          \n
        • To get the honor points, multiply the credit for each course (subject) enrolled during a semester\/summer term by the grade point credit for the grade in each course (subject).<\/li>\n
        • To get the total honor points, add all the honor points.<\/li>\n
        • To get the Grade Average, divide the total honor points by the total number of credits earned during the semester\/ summer term. Indices are computed to four (4) decimals places and the third number is rounded off.<\/li>\n
        • The cumulative GPA is computed by averaging all the GPA\u2019s of a student for all the semesters\/summer terms of his enrollment in PSBA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
