Guidelines (COVID-19 times)

The Board of Regents, through the UP President, issued a policy on how the faculty and students will react in relation to handling the courses during the 2nd Semester of the Academic Year (AY) 2019-2020.

Implementing Rules and Regulations

The Office of the President issued last 23 April 2020, an implementing guidelines entitled “UP System Policy on the Second Semester AY 2019-2020 in the Time of COVID-19”. The document cited the following among others as the guiding principles and reason for issuing the IRR.

• UP suspended classes even alternative modes since 17 March 2020 up to the end of the ECQ in Luzon and other parts of the country on 30 April 2020.
• The guidelines aims to reduce, if not completely remove, confusion as regards to its implementation and operationalization of the BOR policy previously issued.

Grades and grading system

Faculty options in giving grades

• With sufficient basis for giving grades:
  • If student is passing, give a numeric grade.
  • Else defer/delay giving grade. Students can comply until 31 May 2021.

• Without sufficient basis
  • Defer/delay giving grade. Students have up to 31 May 2021 to complete the adjusted course requirements.
