Change of Grades
A student who has received a passing grade in a given course is not allowed a re-examination for the purpose of improving his grades.
No faculty member shall change any grade after the report of grades has been filed with the Faculty or with the University Registrar. In exceptional cases, as where an error has been committed, the faculty member may request authority from the Faculty Council to make the necessary change. If the request is granted, a copy of the resolution of the faculty authorizing the change shall be forwarded to the Office of the University Registrar for recording and filing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision and to avoid any injustice, the grade on a final examination paper may be revised by a committee constituted by the Faculty Dean if it should clearly appear, on the basis of the quality of the scholastic record of the student, that such grade is the result of an erroneous appreciation of the answers or of an arbitrary or careless decision by the faculty member concerned. Should the change of the grade on said examination paper affect the final grade of the student, the committee may request authority from the Faculty Council to make the necessary change in the final grade. The foregoing is done only upon a duly approved formal request for reconsideration by the student concerned, which request shall be made within 30 days after the student's receipt of the final grade.
No student shall directly or indirectly ask any person to recommend him/her to his/her professor/s for any grade in his/her class record, examination paper, or final report of grades. Any student violating this rule shall lose credit in the courses where such recommendation is made. The fact that a student is thus recommended shall be prima facie evidence that the recommendation is made at the request of the student concerned.
