All students with Academic Scholarships are affected by this policy

Policy

1. As a general rule, all students on the President’s List with a trimestral weighted average of 1.50 to 1.00 will be given a FULL Academic Scholarship of 100% tuition fee discount. Those with trimestral weighted average of 1.75 to 1.51 will be given a HALF Academic Scholarship of 50% tuition fee discount.
2. Only students on the President’s List shall be qualified for Academic Scholarship. In addition, only students included in the Dean’s list will be qualified for the President’s list. For more details regarding the criteria for being a President’s or Dean’s List, refer to Part F. Student Affairs, Section VI: Center for Scholarships and Financial Assistance (CSFA).
3. A qualified student must avail of the academic scholarship immediately on the succeeding term. If the student wants to avail of the academic scholarship, he/she must go to the Center for Scholarship and Financial Assistance to sign the academic scholarship undertaking.
4. Should the student decide to take a leave of absence (LOA) in the succeeding term, he/she may apply his/her scholarship upon his/her return, provided his/her availment of the academic scholarship falls within two (2) succeeding terms. A clearance from the Registrar’s Office and Letter of Consideration addressed to the CSFA should be presented by the academic scholar prior to his/her scholarship validation. A student who goes on leave for two (2) successive terms waives his/her right to avail of the academic scholarship.
5. Students, after the release of the final grades, must inform their course teachers if they notice that there are inconsistencies in their encoded grades. Grade correction/completion must be done and encoded within one (1) week after the release of final grades. The corrected grade must be encoded before the generation of the Dean’s/President’s list. NO APPEAL shall be entertained after said period and after the release of the President’s and Dean’s List awardees.
6. Academic scholarships are automatically validated and indicated in the Generated Schedule and Assessment (GSA). In cases when the scholarship is not indicated, the student is given two (2) weeks from the opening of classes to claim his/her scholarship at the CSFA. Failure to do so will be construed as a waiver of the right to avail of the scholarship.
7. If several attempts by the student to reach out to their instructor or professor yield no response from the teacher and if found that an error exists in the student’s final grade, the dean or department chairperson, with the approval of the University President, may request for grade correction on the faculty member’s behalf. The case shall be subjected to PCM-AA-10-01 (Merit-based assignment of Overload Teaching Units) and the Amended Academic Council Resolution 2021-07 (Resolution on Non-Submittal of Final Grades on Time) and the faculty member shall be reprimanded accordingly.
8. Students who are on the Dean’s List but failed to be included in the President’s List and in financial need can apply for available slots in the Need-Based Academic Scholarship (NBAS). These additional slots shall be based on the financial position and need of the qualified applicant.
