Grading Scale 2

Please note:
*The information above is not complete, but rather represents the most common credentials and grading scales from this country. Check your transcripts for your institutional grading scale and if different, please upload it with your academic records.

*CHED does not prescribe grading scales at the higher education level, so the country’s HEIs use many grading scales. The most common grading system is a scale ranging from 1.0 to 5.0, where 1.0 is the highest grade, 5.0 the lowest and 3.0 is the passing grade. When a 4.0 or “conditional fail” grade is given, the student has the opportunity to retake the class or pass a make-up exam. If successful, the student receives a passing grade of 3.0; otherwise, a failing grade of 5.0 is assigned.

• Voluntary accreditation of all higher education institutions is subject to the policies of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Voluntary accrediting agencies in the private sector are the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU), the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities' Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA), and the Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities Accrediting Association Inc. (ACSCU-AAI) which all operate under the umbrella of the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines (FAAP), which itself is the certifying agency authorized by CHED.Accreditation can be either of programs or of institutions.
