Grade of "4"

A grade of “4” means “Conditional”. It may be removed only by re-examination taken within the prescribed time of one (1) academic year. If the student passes the re-examination, s/he is given a grade of “3,” but if s/he fails, a “5”. Only one (1) re-examination is allowed which must be taken within the prescribed time (within one (1) academic year where there are three (3) regular removal periods). If the student does not remove the grade of “4” within the prescribed time, the grade of”4” becomes “5”. In this case, s/he may earn credit for the same course only by repeating and passing it.

A grade of “4” given for the first semester work of a 2-semester course shall be converted to a grade of “3” if the student passes the second semester part of the same course in the same academic year; if s/he fails, the grade of “4” which s/he received for the first semester work shall be converted to a grade of “5”. For the removal of the grade of “4”, refer to Removal of the Grade of “4”, of this Section.
