OVERLOADING/UNDERLOADING What is the regular load? A regular load is the number of units prescribed in a student’s curriculum. UPSE students are encouraged to follow their curricula. What does it mean to be underloading? A student who is underloading means that he is taking less than 15 units (prescribed minimum) for the current semester. He will not be eligible for latin honors once he underloads. What does it mean to be overloading? A student who is overloading means that he is taking more than the prescribed number of units for that semester + (2) units.

Freshmen maximum of 19 units Sophomores maximum of 20 units Juniors maximum of 20 units Seniors maximum of 18 units Graduating maximum of 21 units All Students maximum of 3 Econ courses

Procedures for overloading/underloading are found on page 20 of this primer.

THE UP GRADING SYSTEM: OFFICIAL GRADES

1.0 1.25 1.5 1.75 2.0 2.25

Excellent Very Good Good

2.5 2.75 3.0 4.0 DRP INC

Satisfactory Pass Conditional Dropped Incomplete


What does a grade of 4.0 mean?

• It is a conditional grade, which may be removed either by a successful repetition of a course or by passing a re-examination (removals) within 1 academic year.

• If the student passes the re-examination, a grade of 3.0 is incurred, if not, a 5.0.

• If the student does not retake the course or does not take the removals exam, the grade of 4.0 becomes a 5.0

What does “INC” mean?

It is a grade given to a student whose class standing is “passing” but fails to either take the final examination or to complete the requirements of the course. The student is given one (1) academic year to complete the said requirement.

Grade Averages:

• Weighted Average Grade (WAG) - weighted average of all grades received for prescribed subjects and qualified electives in the BSE and BSBE curriculum.

• Econ Weighted Average (EWA) - weighted average of all Economics subjects taken, excluding Economics 11.

To get the Econ Weighted Average (EWA), multiply the Econ course grade by the number of units per course, sum these products and then divide by the total of Econ units taken. Exclude Econ 11.


Computing WAG and EWA for purposes of determining one’s scholastic standing in the School of Economics (SE):

Multiply the course grade by the number of units of the course. Add these products then divide the sum by the total number of units. If a grade of 4 is removed successfully through a removal exam, include only the final grade of 3, with the respective number of units of the course.

If a course with a grade of 4 is re-enrolled, the average of the 4 and the new grade are included in the calculation, without doubling the number of units. For example, for a 3-unit course, if the new grade is a 2, then the average is computed as:

[(4.0 + 2.0) / 2] = 3 x 3units = 9 The same rule applies for a course with a grade of 5, which is subsequently reenrolled and passed. that is, if a course with a grade of 5 is re-enrolled and passed, the average of the 5 and the new grade is included in the computation, without doubling the number of units. For example, for a 3-unit course, if the new grade is a 2:

[(5.0 + 2.0) / 2] = 3.5 x 3units = 10.5

Computing WAG and EWA for purposes of determining one’s eligibility to graduate from the School of Economics (SE):

To be eligible for graduation from the SE, a student must have a cumulative WAG and EWA of no more than 2.5 each which are now computed using University Rules. Specifically, in case a course is taken twice due to a 4 or 5, the average of both grades received is computed using the total number of units. For example, for a 3-unit course, if a 5 was received originally and the new grade is a 2, the computation of the average is:

[(5.0 x 3units) + (2.0 x 3units)] = 15/3 + 6/3 = 21/6 = 3.5

SCHOLASTIC DELINQUENCY

1. A student must have a WAG and EWA of not lower than 2.5 at either the end of his/her Junior Year or the summer term of it, otherwise he/she is dismissed from the SE.


2. A student must obtain at the end of every semester or summer:

a) a WAG of not lower than 2.5; b) an EWA of not lower than 2.5; c) regular grades (i.e., excluding INCs and DRPs) in at least 60% of

the units registered as of the last day of registration. Otherwise, the student will be placed under probation for the following term. Probation may be removed by satisfying requirements (a), (b) and (c) at the end of the semester or summer the student was on probation.

3. Any student who fails to satisfy requirements (a), (b) and (c) at the end of the semester or summer he/she was put on probation will be dismissed from SE.

4. A student must pass Econ 106 and Econ 131 within four (4) semesters from first enrolling in either Econ 101 or Econ 102, inclusive of the semester of first enrollment in either subject. Failure to comply with this scholastic delinquency rule will result in a student’s dismissal from the SE.

5. A WAG and EWA of not lower than 2.5 each is required for graduation.

Note: In exceptional cases the above rules on admission and scholastic delinquency may be waived by the Dean upon recommendation of the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Performance.

AWARDS AND LATIN HONORS For purposes of determining University awards, Latin Honors and SE awards, the WAG is computed using University Rules. University awards, awarded every semester:

University Scholar absolute minimum WAG of 1.45 College Scholar absolute minimum WAG of 1.75

In addition, a student must have taken during the previous semester at least 15 units of academic credit or the normal load prescribed, and have no grade below “3” in any academic or non-academic subject.


Latin Honors, awarded upon graduation:

Summa cum Laude absolute minimum WAG of 1.20 Magna cum Laude absolute minimum WAG of 1.45 Cum Laude absolute minimum WAG of 1.75

UPSE awards, awarded upon graduation:

• Dean’s List: WAG of less than 1.75 to an absolute minimum of 2.00

• FMAP Award for Best Undergraduate Thesis in the area of Monetary or Financial Economics

• Gerardo P. Sicat Awards for Best Undergraduate Theses (top 3)

• José Encarnacio� Jr. Award for Excellence in Economics: highest weighted average for all Economics courses taken, including Econ 11.

In addition, to graduate with honors: You must have completed at least 75% of the total number of academic units in the University and must have been in resident for at least 2 years prior to graduation; You must not have been found guilty of cheating and/or dishonesty. If you have been suspended for one (1) year or more due to misconduct as defined in various rules and regulations on student conduct, you are also barred from graduating with honors; You must have taken during each semester NOT LESS THAN 15 units of credit or the normal load prescribed in the curriculum. IMPORTANT: Other University Rules on scholastic standing, graduation, and graduation with honors can be found in the most recent volume of the UPD General Catalogue. Students are responsible for being informed / updated about these and other University rules as well as advisories issued by the SE Undergraduate Committee for Admissions and Performance. Please check the UPSE website regularly. Validation Rule for shiftees/transferees Economics courses completed in other academic institutions prior to acceptance into the School are NOT automatically credited under the BSE or BSBE curriculum. To obtain credit, the following rules will apply:


1) A course is qualified for credit only if (i) its course description matches that of the SE counterpart course and (ii) the course has at least the same number of units as its SE counterpart course.

2) To obtain credit for a qualified course, a student must first pass a validation Exam (to be scheduled prior to first enrollment in the School). Upon passing, the course will be credited and the grade which the student received for that course will be recognized. Failure to pass the validation exam will mean no credit and no grade. If the course is a prerequisite to higher economics courses, the student will not be permitted to enroll in those higher courses unless he/she obtains consent from an instructor.

3) Students may opt to forfeit the chance to validate prior to first enrollment and instead enroll in the course and receive a grade in the usual manner.

Additional NSTP Guideline

Since the NSTP is designed and implemented by Colleges, once students have started taking their first NSTP course in one college, they MUST finish the second course in the same college.

SOCIALIZED TUITION SYSTEM (STS) In the University of the Philippines (UP), all students receive financial support from the National Government since the full tuition is much lower than the cost of education in the University. The Socialized Tuition System (STS) was created to provide tuition discount at rates that are based on the assessment of the paying capacity of the household to which a student belongs. This assessment looks at the income as well as the socio-economic characteristics of the household.

UP students who wish to apply for tuition discounts under the STS must supply the information about the income and socio-economic characteristics of their household. The application is done online. Using the information submitted by the students, the University may grant tuition discounts and, in certain cases, monthly stipends, according to the table below: Tuition Discount

Tuition discounts and other financial assistance from STS shall be for one academic year, renewable annually. Incoming Freshmen (student number beginning 2014 and incoming MD and JD students) who will be granted Full Discount + Stipend will receive P3,500 monthly allowance for two semesters. Said monthly allowance may be in the form of cash, dormitory privilege, and/or meal coupon. Upperclassmen (students admitted to the university before 2014) at the same level shall receive P2,400 monthly allowance for two semesters. What do I need to be in order to qualify?

1. Be a Filipino; 2. Be a bonafide undergraduate student. Except for students of Law and

Medicine, the applicant must not have a bachelor’s degree. For new students, the applicant must have an admission slip;

3. Never have been adjudged guilty of any offense that carries a penalty of more than 30 days suspension; and

4. Be in need of financial assistance as determined by the University. How do I Apply?

1. Visit http://sts.up.edu.ph/ and log in using your Student Number and 5-digit PIN.

2. Indicate your intent to apply and your consent to the terms and conditions of STS.

STS applicants are not required to submit any documents (e.g., income tax return, employment contract, etc.) to complete the application process.

UPSE SCHOLARSHIPS The UPSEAA Scholarship Program offers financial support to students of the UP School of Economics with the objectives of:

1. Assisting students from lower income brackets who are majoring in Economics to cope with personal financial constraints during their stay in the School

2. Attracting students of exceptional academic promise to the School of Economics

3. Rewarding UPSE students for outstanding research work at the undergraduate and graduate levels

UPSEAA Undergraduate Assistance The undergraduate financial assistance consists of a stipend of P12,500 per semester. The scholars are selected as follows:

1. For the entering freshman class, the students with the two highest UPCAT scores from among all “bracket E and D” students are awarded a scholarship.

2. The batch scholars will retain their scholarships for their remaining years in the School, as long as they remain UPSE students in good standing.

3. If a scholar is disqualified for any reason, then another student will be selected from his/her batch following the above selection process, with the scholarship awarded to the student with the highest GWA in the previous year.

Affiliated Undergraduate Scholarship Program Under the initiative of UPSE alumni in the business community, the Fund Managers’ Association of the Philippines (FMAP) has undertaken, since AY 2009-10, to support an additional two scholars per batch during their third and fourth years at the School.
