GRADING SYSTEM

Grades are determined by computing a student’s performance over the term for both lecture and laboratory. A failing
grade may be given to a student who does not meet attendance requirements.

The school adopts the following grading system with the corresponding equivalence:

GRADE EQUIVALENCE DESCRIPTION

1.00 98-100 % Excellent
1.25 95-97 %
1.50 92-94 % Very Good
1.75 89-91 %
2.00 86-88 %
2.25 83-85 % Satisfactory
2.50 80-82 %
2.75 77-79 %
3.00 75-76 % Fair

Failed due to poor performance, absences

5.00 Below 75 % or withdrawal without notice
DRP Officially Dropped Dropped with approved dropping slip
P Passed To be used only for courses specified as
F Failed having non-numeric grades

The course grade is based on the percentage distribution for each periodical grade to be expressed in percentage from
rounded to the nearest unit.
 INFORMATIC TECHNOLOGICAL COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO INC.
Prk. 2A Distric 1 Barangay 5(Pob.) San Francisco, Agusan del Sur

For CHED and TESDA courses, which are semestral-based, the percentage distribution is as follows:

PRELIMS 20 % Example 2.25

MIDTERMS 20 % 1.25
PRE-FINALS 20 % 2.00
FINALS 40 % 1.00
Course Grade is 1.50

For other TESDA courses offered in modular forms, the percentage grade distribution within a block is as prescribed in the
syllabus.

In courses with a combination of lecturer and laboratory, the course grade is based on the proportion of lecture to
laboratory units. Hence, the course grade for a three (3) unit course with two (2) units of lecture and one (1) unit of
laboratory shall be of ratio of 2:1, lecture: laboratory, and rounded off to the nearest numeric grade.

Example: Final lecture grade is 1.50

Final laboratory grade is 1.75
Course grade is 1.58

PERIODICAL GRADE

Recommended periodical grade components for:

Lecture Units Laboratory Units

Class Participation 10% Laboratory Exercises 10%
Exercise and Seatwork 20% Case Studies and Projects 90%
Quizzes 30%
Periodical Examination 40%

Deviation from the recommended components may be decided or approved by the Dean upon the recommendation of
the Department Chairman/Program Coordinator and faculty to suit the program objectives and requirements.
