The Maximum Residence Rule (MRR) states that students
who fail to finish the requirements of a degree program of any college within a
prescribed period of actual residence shall not be allowed to register further
in that college. Under meritorious cases, extension of residency may be
granted. The faculty of each college shall designate the approving authority
for such extensions. Each extension granted shall be reported to the Chancellor
through the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
Undergraduate Students
The MRR states that students who fail to finish
the requirements of a course of any college within a period of actual residence
equivalent to 1รณ times the normal length of the course concerned shall not be allowed
to register further in that college.
Thus, the prescribed years to finish a degree
program for the undergraduate level are as follows:
Program Number of Years Allowed by MRR
Two-Year Certificate 3
Four-Year Diploma 6
Four-Year Bachelor’s 6
Five-Year Bachelor’s 7
However, Article 243 of the Revised University
Code should be taken into account in implementing the
MRR for faculty, officers, and employees of
the University which states that “Members of the faculty, officers and
employees shall have the privilege of enrolling in the University for not more
than nine (9) units at the undergraduate level or six (6) units at the graduate
level a semester at reduced rates in courses that shall be beneficial to their
regular work in the University or in their career development, subject to the approval
of the Chancellor or his/her authorized representative. In the case of
non-teaching personnel, the courses shall be taken after office hours.”
