A student must be officially registered to receive credit for course work. No student shall be registered later than the date specified on the GS calendar except under justifiable circumstances to be determined by the University Registrar provided that the student shall be fined for late registration. No student, however, may register in any curriculum after three (3) meetings for regular three-hour classes and one meeting for nine-hour Sunday classes.
Officially enrolled students are those:
If a student needs to enroll in a subject that is not offered during the semester, the Registrar may issue a "permit to cross-enroll at a CHED-accredited school" upon the Program Chair's endorsement and the Dean’s approval.
On the other hand, a cross-enrollee from another school may be considered for enrolment by the PUP Graduate School Registrar, upon the cross-enrollee's submission of a written permit from his/her school, specifying the subject/s and the total number of units he/she is authorized to cross-enroll.
Graduate Students are classified into full-time, part-time students. A full-time student is one who is not employed during the time of enrolment and who carries the full load of twelve units. A part-time student is one who is employed during the time of enrolment and who carries less than the full load of twelve units. Students on scholarship may carry more than twelve units. International students and those on scholarship may carry more than twelve units if their stay in the Philippines is limited to 2 or 3 years as long as they do not incur any scholastic delinquency.
Students of a three-unit course meet three hours a week (or nine hours for six Sundays) for a maximum of 54 hours and a minimum of 51 hours a semester.
The maximum load is 12 units for full-time students and nine units for part-time students. In justifiable cases and with the Dean’s approval, a part-time student may take more than nine units.
A student who has been absent for at least 20 percent (11 hours) of the total class hours in a subject for the semester shall be automatically dropped from the class roll unless the faculty member concerned prescribes a longer attendance requirement or an additional academic work requirement to offset the absences.
All required additional subjects must be completed within the first three semesters of the student’s residency in the program; otherwise, the graduate units taken simultaneously with the additional subjects shall not be credited. Doctoral additional subjects may be taken in the master's program and master’s additional subjects may be taken from the list provided by the Chair of the Program duly approved by the University Academic Council.
A change of subject, load, or course may be allowed for a valid reason upon prior endorsement of the Program Chair and approval of the Dean.
A substitution of subject may be allowed upon endorsement of the Program Chair and approval by the Dean when a student’s curriculum has been superseded by a new one and the substitution will align the old curriculum with the new one. In cases of curricular revision, the revised curriculum will be implemented to the incoming new enrollees. .
Every petition for substitution should:
With the consent of the faculty member and the Dean of the Graduate School, a student may drop a subject/course anytime before the mid-term examinations by accomplishing the required form and submitting it to the Registrar’s Office for record purposes.
Unauthorized dropping of subject may result to a grade of 5.0 or Failed.
