 CENTRO ESCOLAR UNIVERSITY:
A BRIEF HISTORY
Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna founded the Centro Escolar de
Señoritas on June 3, 1907, inspired by the patriotic movement to nationalize
schools and cognizant of a need for an adequate center of learning for Filipino
women steeped in teachings on ideal womanhood, intelligent citizenry and
democratic leadership which would instill in them the tenet of science and
virtue.

The first Board of Directors was composed of Librada Avelino, directress;

Carmen de Luna, assistant directress; Maria Francisco de Villaceran, secretary;
Felisa Francisco, treasurer; Margarita Oliva, administrative; and Atty. Fernando
Salas, board member.

The Colegio was located in a modest house on Calzada de Iris (later named
Paseo de Azcarraga and now Claro M. Recto Avenue), Number 2265, ending on
Alix (now Legarda Street).

Librada Avelino chose “Ciencia y Virtud” (Science and Virtue) as the motto
of the school. This means that the institution was dedicated to the pursuit of
knowledge and the inculcation of moral excellence in its students. The official
color of the school was pink and it was also the color of the uniform of its
students.

The early prospectus, with pink paper cover, was written in the Spanish
language. Both English and Spanish were the official languages of the school.
Courses in the English language were included in the same status as courses in
Christian moral and good manners.

The first programs of instruction in the curriculum were kindergarten,

elementary, general secondary, music and home arts courses. In compliance
to Act No. 74 of the Philippine Commission, English was the medium of
instruction, while at the same time, the Spanish language consistently received
special attention.

On June 10, 1910, a two-year high school commercial course was opened
in response to the need for practical knowledge in business and merchandising.
A three-year domestic science course was introduced in 1917. Not long after,
the government upgraded these studies to four-year courses, which applied
the same standards as those of the regular general high school and sought their
compliance with the same academic requirements.
vi
 A great stride in educating the Filipino women was undertaken in June
1921 when the College of Pharmacy was established. The opening of the
College of Liberal Arts in 1924 followed, so was the birth of the College of
Education which operated with three departments - Normal, Education, and
Home Economics. The College of Dentistry was opened in 1925.

Centro Escolar de Señoritas was among the first to recognize the need for
more well-trained teachers in colleges and universities through post-graduate
education. To meet the demand, the school opened the Graduate School in
1926, offering programs leading to master’s and doctoral degrees. In the latter’s
effect, Centro Escolar University was acknowledged the first non-sectarian
university to offer programs in the doctoral level.

In 1928, the College of Commerce and Business Administration

was established. That same year, the school founded the first College of
Optometry in the Philippines. Another department, the Conservatory
of Music, was established during the administration of the founder,
Librada Avelino.

It was in 1930 when Centro Escolar de Señoritas assumed the name Centro
Escolar University and gained University status in 1932. To cope with the
difficulties of the times and the need to expand the school, the University was
reorganized and incorporated in 1934 with Librada Avelino, popularly called
“Maestra Ada” as the first University President.

Carmen de Luna succeeded as the second University President after

the death of Librada Avelino on November 9, 1934. In 1945, Centro Escolar
University opened its portals to male students.

While Social Work courses had been offered in the College of Education
for more than a decade since 1935, it was not until 1948 when the College of
Social Work was formally opened. In 1954, a branch was established in Tambo,
Parañaque, then still a part of Rizal province.

In response to the need for trained nutritionists, the University opened the
College of Foods and Nutrition in 1958. Other post-war needs prompted the
establishment of the College of Medical Technology in 1960.

The term of the third president, Dr. Pilar Hidalgo Lim (1963- 1973), was
the beginning of CEU’s expansion in enrollment and physical facilities. It was
in 1963 when the College of Chemistry was established.

vii
 Expansion and development was continued by the fourth president, Dr.
Dionisio C. Tiongco (1973-1992) under whose term the College of Nursing was
opened in 1975. Centro Escolar University expanded its campuses to serve the
needs of the students and to comply with the urban decongestion policy of the
country.

The birth of CEU Malolos came at a time when the national government
was making educational opportunities available outside the heavily congested
Metro Manila area. CEU Malolos at Km. 44 McArthur Highway, Malolos,
Bulacan was established as the University’s expansion site in June 1978.

CEU’s commitment to academic excellence led to the accreditation

of its college programs by the Philippine Association of Colleges and
Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) and the Philippine
Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU),
which later gained distinction as the University with the highest number
of accredited programs among private higher education institutions in the
country.

Dr. Lourdes Talag-Echauz (1992-2002) succeeded the presidency of Centro

Escolar University and formally installed as CEU’s fifth president on March
5, 1993. Serving as the link between the valued traditions of the past and the
innovations of the future, Dr. Echauz, a true Escolarina, followed the footsteps
of her mentors Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna, in molding young men
and women into worthy and competent citizens.

During her administration, CEU grew and continued to keep abreast with
innovation and technology, upgraded facilities, and highly trained manpower.
Over the years, with the excellent performance of its graduates in professional
licensure examinations, CEU continued to produce many of the country’s
leaders in various professions.

On January 17, 2002, Centro Escolar University celebrated the installation

of its sixth president, Dr. Rosita L. Navarro (2002- 2006). Dr. Navarro was a
catalyst for progressive initiatives and an advocate of the balance between
globalization and Filipinization. She steered the institution to greater heights in
academic excellence and educational service to the Filipino people.

Under her leadership, the University was granted full autonomy by the
Commission on Higher Education and was awarded a certification by the
Societe Generale de Surveillance International (SGS) for compliance with the
requirements of ISO 9001-2000. Its Information Communication Technology

viii
(ICT) Department came into full operation, Wi-fi zones were set-up and the
library services were automated.

Capping these achievements was the conferment to CEU of the Philippine

Quality Award (PQA) for proficiency in quality management by the Department
of Trade and Industry, Republic of the Philippines.

Two years before CEU’s centennial celebration, on March 22, 2005,

the community witnessed the birth of CEU Makati, Gil Puyat Campus. The
academic offerings included degree programs that responded to the global
market particularly Hotel and Restaurant Management, Tourism Management,
Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, Mass
Communication Major in Broadcasting, Master of Business Administration and
first-class health science programs for which CEU has always been known such
as Doctor of Dental Medicine, Medical Technology, Nursing, Pharmacy, Doctor
of Pharmacy, and Psychology.

Dr. Ma. Cristina D. Padolina became the seventh CEU President in

August 2006. As CEU Centennial President, she brought to her post an
impressive international educational background with sterling and extensive
leadership and management experience in academe and government,
a wisdom she gathered over the years after having been the Open
University (UPOU) Chancellor of the University of the Philippines and a
Commissioner of the Commission on Higher Education of the Republic of the
Philippines.

In 2007, the second campus of Centro Escolar University Makati-Legazpi

Village was opened. In 2009 the College of Law and Jurisprudence was
established in CEU Makati-Gil Puyat. That same year, the Professional and
Continuing Education (PACE) program was established in CEU Manila to
address the clamor and the need for lifelong learning in the light of continuing
scientific and technological innovations and change.

Massive curricular reforms were done and new programs were introduced,
like: BS Legal Management, MS in Health Sciences, MS in Hospitality
Management, MBA major in Financial Analysis, MBA major in Total Quality
Management, and Ph.D. in Higher Education Management. In 2013, guided by
Dr. Padolina’s leadership and inspiration, CEU was awarded as the University
with the most number of Level IV accredited programs.

She believes that CEU, with its dedicated and highly qualified
administrators, faculty and staff and its strong adherence to quality service,

ix
is primed to achieve a new level of excellence in higher education, thus, she
initiated the “Quality People, Quality University Program” that focuses on
total human development of every Escolarian educator, administrator, and
non-teaching staff.

With the emerging development in the Philippine Education system, the

CEU Administration fully supported the K-12 program of the Department of
Education.

In 2016, another milestone was added to the history of Centro Escolar

University under the leadership of Dr. Ma. Cristina D. Padolina when the
Department of Education approved CEU’s application to offer Senior High
School program. Although CEIS Malolos has been offering Basic Education
since 2014, it started to offer SHS in 2016 only. In the same year, the School of
Medicine in CEU Manila was formally opened.

In 2019, the Department of Education granted CEIS Manila and Makati

Campuses the permit to operate and are now considered as separate entities.
Senior High School offers the three tracks in the following strands: Accountancy,
Business and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMMS),
and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

While fulfilling its primary function of academic instruction, CEU is

likewise, making strong strides towards performing the equally important
function of a higher education institution of expanding and advancing human
knowledge through research. The investment of the University for the capacity-
building of its personnel, improvement of research facilities and provision of
incentives is paying off with the increase in research publications and paper
presentations, a number of which have received recognition. Over the years,
the linkages with researchers in other universities both here and abroad also
boost CEU’s research program.

The prominence that Centro Escolar University has attained since the
pioneering efforts of its founders, Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna,
has not gone unnoticed in the academic community. It is the sum of its
series of achievements for the past 112 years. Ever the educational center of
worthy accomplishments, Centro Escolar University today is a University of
first choice, an institution of higher learning that fosters excellence in all its
endeavors guided by its philosophy Ciencia y Virtud.

EVALUATING AND REPORTING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS

The grade earned by a student is an indicator of the student’s mastery

of the subject and a mark of scholarship. Therefore, in determining such
grade, only those factors that prove the degree to which the student has
attained the objectives for the particular course should be taken into
consideration.

Undergraduate School Grading System

Numerical grades/marks prescribed in the following official grading scale,

shall be strictly followed:

Mark/Grade Description
1.00 Excellent
1.25 - 1.50 Superior
1.75 - 2.00 Very Satisfactory
2.25 - 2.50 Satisfactory
2.75 Fairly Satisfactory
3.00 Barely Satisfactory
3.50 - 4.00 Conditional Pass
5.00 Unsatisfactory

The grades/marks of 3.50 or 4.00 may be given only as periodic grades,

i.e., for the first, second and third grading periods. They are not used as final
mark/grade.

Bases of Grades

The semester is divided into three (3) grading periods of approximately six
(6) weeks each. A student is given a grade for each grading period.

A summer class is divided into two (2) grading periods.

15 | Page
 A periodic grade is the result of evaluating a student’s achievement or
performance in a course for a particular grading period and is independent
of the student’s performance or achievement in a previous grading
period.

The bases for the computation of each periodic grade are as

follows:
1. Class participation (recitation, unit tests, quizzes, projects, reports,
assignments, research, journal review, reflection journal and other
performance-based activities) – weight of 2
2. Comprehensive/Summative examination (first, second and third) – weight
of 1

Grades in Courses Consisting of Lecture and Laboratory

Grades in courses consisting of lecture and laboratory classes should be the

result of the student’s achievement or performance in both classes, weighted
accordingly and expressed as a composite grade.

Grades in lecture and laboratory classes should be given separately, one

for lecture and another for laboratory. The composite mark is computed by the
lecture teacher.

Computation of Final Marks/Grades

The averaging system of computing final marks/grades will be used. The

final grade in a course is the average of the three periodic grades, (first, second,
third) rounded off to the nearest numerical grade prescribed in the CEU official
grading scale.

For all courses, the final mark/grade is passing if the minimum aggregate
sum of first, second, and third periodic grades does not exceed 9.00.

For all courses covering two grading periods, the final grade is passing if
the minimum aggregate sum does not exceed 6.00.

Exemption from Final Examination

A student who obtains a first and second periodic average grade of

at least 1.50 and a third periodic class participation grade of at least 1.50 is
qualified for exemption from the final examination in that course, provided
that he/she presents his/her final examination permit to teacher(s)
concerned.

In case of exemption from the final examination, the final examination

grade shall be the same as the class participation grade for the third grading
period.

Page | 16
Failure to Take an Examination

Students who fail to take the first or second periodic examinations on

scheduled date should take the special examination set for the purpose;
otherwise, the student receives a grade of “5.00” for the examination not taken.

A remark of “NFE” will be given to any student who fails to take the final
examination provided he/she passes the prelim and midterm grading periods
and the final class participation.

The remark “NFE” may be removed by taking the special examinations. The
special examination for students who are unable to take the final examination
should be scheduled and administered by the schools/colleges/departments
after the prelim, midterm or final examinations.

Deadlines for Removal of NFE

• For students currently enrolled- last day of final examinations of the

following semester.
• For students not currently enrolled – one (1) school year after the NFE is
incurred and prior to the enrollment in the following school year.
• For graduating students in the second semester – during the scheduled
special examinations for graduating students.

If the student takes the special examination, NFE will be changed to a

computed grade by the faculty member.

Failure to take the examination within the stated period, the student should
re-enroll the subject. The NFE remains in the student record.

Graduating students with academic deficiencies due to NFE who are not
enrolled will be allowed to complete their deficiencies following the same
deadlines, provided they enroll for residency during the semester in which they
complete their requirements. Therefore, students are considered graduates of
the semester when he/she shall have completed all deficiencies.

The student must pay a residency fee plus the usual fee for special
examinations.

Failure to Complete Requirements of a Course

A remark of “NFR” (No Final Requirement) is given to any student who fails
to finish the requirements in Applied Music, Clinical subjects in Dentistry and
Optometry, RLE for Nursing, Med Laws and Internship for Medical Technology,
undergraduate research subjects, and practicum for other courses. In the case
of Classical Dentistry, the remark “FRI” (Final Requirement Insufficient) is
given to students with incomplete final requirements. The requirements must

17 | Page
be completed within one semester. For Applied Music and Clinic 1,2,3 for
Dentistry, however, the requirement must be completed within two semesters
and one summer. Requirements in RLE for Nursing (Make-up Duty) must be
completed in two semesters.

Mark for Unauthorized Dropping of Courses

Unauthorized or unofficially dropped courses shall be indicated as “U.D.”

in the official grading sheet for the student(s) concerned in each of the following
circumstances:
• When a student has enrolled in the course but failed to attend even a single
class day.
• When a student has passing grades for the first and second grading periods,
but stopped attending classes in the third grading period.
• When two courses are combined such as lecture and laboratory subjects, a
grade of “U.D.” in either lecture or laboratory prevails.
• When a student has incurred an absence that is more than twenty
percent (20%) of the required total semestral attendance for the
course.

Students’ Periodical Grades

Students will be provided their preliminary and midterm grades through

their temporary report card accomplished by the faculty members.

Music Education Grading System

The mark/grade assigned to a student is an indicator of the student’s

mastery of the course and a mark of scholarship. Therefore, in determining any
mark/grade, only those factors that afford evidence of the degree to which the
student has attained the objectives set-up for that particular course or subject
are taken into consideration.

The bases of marks/grades in a course and their corresponding weights

are as follows:
a) Class participation (preparedness for weekly, individual lessons, proficiency
during recitals and similar performances)
b) Panel examinations (finals only)

The 18 weeks are confined to weekly, individual lessons leading to a final

examination period, the date of which shall be determined the week after the
final examination of the GE and professional subjects.
a) Each examinee submits a prescribed form containing the rubric of the
particular course and his/her repertoire, to each member of the panel and
to his/her teacher.
b) After the examinee’s performance, each panelist (excluding the teacher)
records the grade with comments (if any) in the form.

Page | 18
c) The forms duly signed by the panelists are then submitted to the
chairperson of the panel for computation of the final examination grade/
mark.
d) The averaging system of computing the final examination marks/grades
given by the members of the panel is used and the corresponding equivalent
is recorded.
e) All forms with final examination grades are then submitted to the respective
teachers. The teachers compute the final grade.

A mark of “5.00” is given to any student who fails to take the final
examination and is required to enroll on the same level next semester.

A mark of “NFR” is given to a student on the following bases:

a) The student has not performed satisfactorily (poor memorization, poor
tempo, poor interpretation, lack in proficiency in playing the instrument, lack
in vocal development) in the final examination as evaluated by the panel.
b) The student has not complied with the requirements in the syllabus.
c) For both cases cited, the student has to re-enroll the same level and is given
another semester to pass the examination for the said level.
d) Should a first year student fail to get the approval of the panelists again in
the following semester, he/she shall be advised to shift to another major.

UNIVERSITY SELECTIVE RETENTION POLICIES

The purpose of these policies is to retain students until the completion of

their baccalaureate degrees by monitoring their performance and by providing
programs that will assist them in achieving academic success.

These policies are implemented by Academic Affairs Office and Office of

the University Registrar by supporting and monitoring students’ academic
progress, coordinating with academic departments, providing referrals to
campus resources and support services, and carrying out programs, like
the Learning Assistance Program, that promote the academic success of the
students.

The Deans/Program Heads monitor the students’ grades in professional

courses while the Academic Department Heads monitor the students’ grades
in professional core and core curriculum courses.

University-Wide Rules

Student Grades
To be promoted to the next academic year level, a student enrolled in any
program of the University should have the following grades at the end of the
Semester:
1. Core curriculum courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 50% cut- off grade in
class participation and periodic examination
2. Professional core courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 60% cut-off grade in
class participation and periodic examination
3. Professional courses: An aggregate sum of 9 and 60% cut-off grade in class
participation and periodic examination except for Accountancy, Pharmacy
and Optometry which have 70% as the cut-off grade and 65% for Nursing
and all NCM courses.

Scholastic Standing
The determination of the scholastic standing of students under the policy
of selective retention is governed by the following rules:

Warning. Any student who fails in fifteen (15) to twenty-nine (29) percent
of the total number of academic units enrolled will be warned by the Dean/
Program Head to improve his/her work.

Probation. Any student, who fails in thirty (30) to fifty-nine (59) percent of
the total number of academic units enrolled will be placed on probation for
the succeeding semester with his/her academic load to be determined by
the Dean/Program Head. A student on probation will bring his/her parent/
guardian to see the Dean/Program Head prior to enrollment. Probation may be
removed in the succeeding semester if he/she earns a grade of “3.00” or better
in all courses.

21 | Page
 Strict Probation. Any student who fails in sixty (60) percent or higher percent
of the total number of academic units will be placed on strict probation. His/
Her academic load will be determined by the Dean/Program Head. This does
not apply to students who are enrolled in less than nine (9) units.

Any student on strict probation who fails again in 60 percent or more of

the total number of units in the final grades shall be dropped from the roll
of the school/college/department, subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph:

Any student dropped from a school/college/department will not be automatically

admitted to another unit of the University unless approved by the Chief Academic
Officer. The student’s natural aptitude and interest may qualify him/her in another
field of study. In this case, he/she may be allowed to enroll in another school/college/
department with twelve (12) units or less.

Permanent Disqualification. Any student who fails in 100 percent of

the academic units in the final grades shall be permanently barred from
re-admission to any school/college/department of the University. This,
however, does not apply to students who are enrolled in less than twelve
(12) units.

Retention Policies Specific to Programs

The following are policies specific to schools/colleges/departments that
are not otherwise covered by the general policies of the University. These
policies shall not be more lax than, nor do they contradict, University policies.

B.S. Accountancy (School of Accountancy and Management)

The BSA Program since the start of SY 2018-2019 has adopted a liberal
admissions policy wherein graduates of the ABM of Senior High School may be
accepted into the BSA Program provided they pass the CEU Entrance Examination.

In meritorious cases, graduates of non-ABM Track may also be accepted

provided they have earned respectable grades (not less than 80%) in Mathematics
and English in the Senior High School, and have also passed the CEU Entrance
Examination. There is no requirement for a bridging program either for ABM
and non-ABM graduates.

The Program Chair with the consent of the SAM Dean may allow the
admission on PROBATIONARY BASIS of students who failed the CEU
admission examination, with a grade not lower than 70%, provided they pass a
personal interview with the Program Chair. This is conditioned on the student
having earned at least a general average of 80% in Senior High School, and a
mininum grade of 80% in Mathematics and English.
1. First year students shall pass all professional core and professional subjects in
order to be promoted to second year. Second, third, and fourth year students
may have a maximum of one failing grade for each level in the professional

Page | 22
 core/professional subjects. The subjects failed may be re-enrolled, but in no
case will cross-enrollment of failed subjects be allowed.
2. In addition, there shall be year-level comprehensive exams (Accounting
Comprehensive Exams, ACE) the passing of which is required in order to
be promoted to the next year. A student who fails in any of the year-level
comprehensive exams may be placed in a PROBATIONARY STATUS until
the student is finally able to pass a re-take of the exam, which can only be
re-taken not more than once subject further to the rules on probationary status.
3. The re-take of the ACE can only be done within the first semester of the following
year. If not re-taken within that period, the student is deemed to have waived
the right to take the re-take and shall be automatically dropped from the BSA
Program. The Program Chair will set the date for the re-take examination.
4. The required passing grade shall be 75% for the first year level ACE; for
the second year, the passing rate shall be 80%; and for the third year, the
passing rate shall be 85%.

Doctor of Dental Medicine (School of Dentistry)

1. Any first year or second year student who fails in 40 percent or more of the
total number of academic units should enroll only in courses where he/
she has received failing grades to remove such academic deficiencies. He/
She will be placed on strict probation for the succeeding semester, after a
review of the student’s performance and upon approval of the Dean.
2. A student who fails in any major subjects twice will enroll on the failed
courses only.
3. All courses in the first year and second year should be completed by the
student prior to his promotion to the third year. (Four year curriculum)
All courses in the third year and fourth year should be completed by the
student prior to the promotion to the fifth year. (Six year curriculum)
4. A student who incurs deficiency in first and second year courses will not be
permitted to take clinical courses, but instead will be given third year, first
semester courses which have neither pre-requisites nor courses related to
clinical requirements. (Four year curriculum)
A student who incurs deficiency in third year and fourth year courses
will not be given clinical courses, but instead will be given fifth year, first
semester courses which have neither pre-requisites nor courses related to
clinical requirements. (Six year curriculum 2018)
5. Promotion to the next clinical level will be granted to a clinician who has
completed prescribed number of clinical requirements on their level.
6. A student who does not complete the clinical requirements for clearly
justifiable reasons will receive a mark of NFR (No Final Requirement).
The student will be allowed to enroll in the same clinical level for two
(2) semesters and one (1) summer term to complete the requirements.
The student will be given a grade of 5.00 if he/she does not complete the
requirements within the prescribed period. He/She has to enroll in the
same clinical level in the succeeding semester.
7. In view of the various constraints that can directly affect the completion of
the prescribed requirements for each clinic level, clinicians may be given a

23 | Page
 chance to be promoted conditionally. The following guidelines are strictly
observed in conditional promotion:
a. When 70% of the total number of requirements has been completed
and clinicians are cleared in four (4) of the six (6) sections at the end of
the semester, a clinician can be promoted conditionally. The clinician
must be able to present his/her clinical form showing that he/she has
an on-going case/requirement on the deficient sections.
b. Clearance from the five (5) sections does not guarantee an automatic
promotion if the open section does not have an on-going case
particularly on sections that need one semester for its completion.
c. Advanced cases on regular patients will not be considered as basis for
conditional promotion.
d. A grade of 3.00 will be assigned to the section with a deficiency to
enable the clinical division chairperson to compute the clinician’s final
rating in the clinical subject enrolled in.
8. A third year or fourth year student who fails in more than 40 percent of
academic units enrolled and retained in the corresponding clinic enrolled
(i.e. Clinic 1, 2, 3, and 4) will repeat only the failed courses and clinic courses
(Clinics 1, 2, 3, and 4). (Four year curriculum)
9. A fifth or sixth year student who fails in more than 40 percent of academic
units enrolled and retained in the corresponding clinic enrolled (i.e., Clinic 1, 2,
3 and 4) will repeat only failed courses and clinic courses. (Six year curriculum)

Disciplinary Measures
A student’s registration at Centro Escolar University automatically binds

University expects that the student at any time of his/her stay in the University
follows the rules on discipline.

If the student’s parents reside in the province, the student should have a
guardian in Metro Manila. The guardian should be a responsible person duly
authorized in writing by the parents to assume responsibilities toward the
student and act on behalf of the parents.

11 7 | Page
 Prompt, exact and courteous obedience is expected of a student at all times.
He/She should respect authority rather than the person exercising authority.
Hence, even a student to whom authority has been delegated should be obeyed.

Violation of any of the University rules and regulations will be dealt with
according to the University’s system of discipline and guidance. All Deans,
Program Heads, Department Heads and Faculty Members and Non-Teaching
Personnel should report such violations to the Student Affairs Office/Student
Activities and Services Section immediately. Appropriate penalties or sanctions

for a period not exceeding twenty per cent (20%) of the prescribed total
class days for the school term. A penalty of suspension for a period

cent (20%) of the prescribed total class days for the school term.

B. Non-readmission. Non-readmission is a penalty that allows the

institution to deny admission or enrollment of an erring student for
the school term immediately following the term when the resolution
or decision finding the student guilty of the offense he/she is charged
and imposing the penalty of non-readmission was promulgated.

promulgated. Transfer credentials of the erring student shall be issued
upon promulgation, subject to the other provisions of this Manual.

C. Exclusion. Exclusion is a penalty that allows the institution to exclude or

and appeal with the Commission.

D. Expulsion. Expulsion is a penalty wherein the institution declares

an erring student disqualified for admission to any public or private
higher education institution in the Philippines. In any case, the penalty
of expulsion cannot be imposed without the approval of the Chairman
of the Commission. This penalty may be imposed for acts or offenses
involving moral turpitude or constituting gross misconduct, which are
considered criminal pursuant to existing penal laws.

   The institution shall forward a complete record of the proceedings

to the Regional Office concerned within ten days from the termination

POST-BACCALAUREATE STUDENTS
School of Law and Jurisprudence (CEU Makati)
Brief History
Under the chairmanship of Don Emilio T. Yap and the presidency of Dr.
Ma. Cristina D. Padolina, who believed that CEU is primed to achieve a new
level of excellence in higher education, the idea of putting up a School of Law
and Jurisprudence was conceived. Thus, in January 2009, the CEU School of
Law and Jurisprudence was born.

The school was organized by Supreme Court Senior Justice Josue N.

Bellosillo (ret.) as soon as he was chosen as Dean. Backed up by a powerhouse
faculty composed of legal experts, scholars, justices and judges, as well as
leading law practitioners, Senior Justice Bellosillo formally opened the School
of Law and Jurisprudence on January 7, 2009 at Gil Puyat campus.

Upon the strong representation of Justice Bellosillo, the school was

purposely established at the heart of the Philippines’ commercial and business
district to attract the best and the brightest practitioners in the legal profession
to teach and at the same time addressing the need for convenience of working
students who deserve to study in a prestigious school.

Objectives of the School of Law and Jurisprudence

At the end of the program, the student shall have:
1. adequately prepared to do counseling, problem solving, decision
making and advocacy in the field of law;
2. acquired technical expertise in resolving legal issues in a variety of fields;
3. experienced legal apprenticeship and completed a Juris Doctor thesis;
4. been impressed with the importance, nobility and dignity of the legal
profession;
5. been developed to become socially committed with integrity,
professional responsibility and competence;
6. been trained for leadership and the capacity to contribute to the
administration, promotion and advancement of justice; and the
administration of the legal system and legal institutions in light of
historical and contemporary development of law in the Philippines
and other countries.

Registration
Section 1. Unless otherwise announced by the School Registrar, in consultation
with the Dean, the regular registration period is the week immediately

the sixth day. Registration closes after the sixth day. Thereafter, registration
may be permitted only for justifiable reasons upon approval of the
Dean.

Sec. 2. Only the true given name, maternal and paternal surnames must be
used by the student. The use of an alias or a nickname in any official record is

Sec. 3. Married women or widows may use their maiden and married surname.
A religious person should submit an affidavit in duplicate from a superior on

Sec. 4. The registration card must be submitted on the date when the official
receipt issued by the School was stamped “paid” by the accounting department.
The class cards must be submitted on the same day. An enrollee who fails to
comply herewith shall be marked absent in all subjects from that day until he
actually starts attending classes. Late enrollees shall be marked absent from the
day classes start until their actual attendance therein.

Cross Registration or Cross Enrollment

Cross registration or cross enrollment by CEU Law student in other law
school is strictly prohibited except for very exceptional and valid reasons
provided that the general weighted average of the student is not below 79 and
provided further that the Dean grants permission.

Change or Dropping of Courses

Section 1. Any change of course shall not be valid unless done during the first
week of the semester by accomplishing the prescribed form approved by the
Dean and countersigned by the Registrar and the Accounting Department.
Once acted upon by the Accounting Department, the copies pertaining
to the Dean and the Registrar should be surrendered to their offices on the
same day.

Sec. 2. To drop any course after the period of registration, the student must fill
up the required form, secure the approval of the Dean and the endorsement
of the Registrar, and submit the same to the Accounting Department for the
adjustment of fees. A student who drops a course without accomplishing the

Page | 130
requisite form or who drops the course after the mid-term examination shall be
given a failing grade.

Sec. 3. When a student registers, it is understood that he is enrolling for the

entire semester. A student who transfers or withdraws, in writing, within two
(2) weeks after classes shall have begun and who already paid the pertinent
fees in full or on installment basis may be charged ten percent (10%) of the
total amount due for the term if he withdraws within the first week of classes,
or twenty percent (20%) if he withdraws within the second week of classes,
regardless of whether he has actually attended classes. The student may be
charged all the school fees in full if he withdraws any time after the second
week.

However, if the transfer or withdrawal is due to a justifiable reason as

certified by the Dean, the student shall be charged the pertinent fees only up to,
and including, the last month of attendance.

Sec. 4. The school reserves the right to withhold the student’s transfer credentials
for failure to fully settle his financial accounts and other obligations with the
school.

Identification Cards
Section 1. Every student should have an official identification card which
he should carry with him at all times and be able to show whenever asked

premises, without prejudice to the imposition of disciplinary sanctions when
warranted.

Sec. 2. Identification cards are to be surrendered to the Office of the Dean for
revalidation during the registration period of every semester.

Change of Address
Section 1. Any change of a previously registered address and/or telephone
number made upon registration should be reported not later than one
week after such change to the Office of the Dean and the Office of the
Registrar.

Grading System
The work of students shall be graded at the end of each semester in
accordance with the following suggested rating system or as may be appropriate
to the particular subject:
- 30% Recitations and Quizzes
- 30% Midterm Examinations
- 40% Final Examinations

131 | Page
 98-100 Excellent
92-97 Very Good
86-91 Good
80-85 Satisfactory
77-79 Fair Satisfactory
75-76 Passed
73-74 Conditional Passed
65-72 Failed
OD Officially Dropped
UD Unofficially Dropped
INC Incomplete

Only the above grades shall be officially recognized.

The grade of 73 or 74 is an interim, not a final, grade. It may be removed by

passing the removal examination or re-enrolling in the course and successfully
passing it. It must be removed within two (2) semesters, unless a longer period
is allowed by the Dean under exceptional circumstances after consultation with
the professor concerned.

Removal examination may be taken only upon the approval of the Dean
and upon payment of the prescribed fees. No member of the faculty shall
administer any removal examination without such approval.

The grade of INC (Incomplete) is given if a student fails to take the final
examination or fails to complete the other requirements of the course due to
illness or other valid reasons.

Removal of the INC grade must be done within one (1) school year, unless
a longer period for completion is allowed by the Dean after consultation with
the professor concerned.

Only after passing the examination or the completion of the course requirements
shall the student be given a final grade on his/her overall performance.

Sequence of Courses
Section 1. Enrollment in any course without the necessary pre-requisite courses
is not valid and will not be credited regardless of the grade obtained, unless
approved by the Dean for justifiable reasons. A back course must be given
priority at enrollment.

For this reason, no student shall be allowed to take third year courses
without first having passed all his first and second year courses, unless
approved by the Dean for justifiable reasons.
Page | 132
Sec. 2. The sequence of courses as set forth in the law curriculum should be
observed except when deviation is applied for in writing and approved by the
Dean also in writing. Enrollment in the fourth year presupposes the completion
of all courses in the first, second, and third years. No student will be admitted
to the fourth year or be permitted to take fourth year core courses unless he has
taken and passed all prerequisite courses, subject only to overload which may
be allowed by the Dean.

As a general rule, a student has to commence his studies in the first semester
of the first year and should continue in the progression of courses as far as
feasible until he completes the program.

However, in exceptional cases, the Dean may allow a student to deviate

from the approved curriculum. Generally, the following specific sequence of
courses is followed:
a. Civil Law 1 (Persons and Family Relations) must be taken BEFORE
Civil Law 7 (Succession).
b. Civil Law 2 (Obligations and Contracts) must be taken BEFORE Civil
Law 3 (Property); Civil Law 8 (Torts and Damages); Commercial
Law 3 (Insurance), Commercial Law 2 (Sales); Civil Law 5 (Credit
Transactions); Commercial Law 4 (Corporation Law); Commercial Law
1 (Negotiable Instruments); and Civil Law 9 (Transportation).
c. Criminal Law 1 must be taken BEFORE Criminal Law 2.
d. Political Law 1 and Political Law 2 (Constitutional Law 1 and 2) must be
taken BEFORE Public Corporations, Election Law, and Administrative
Law.
e. Obligations and Contracts, Property, Insurance, Sales and Transactions,
Corporation Law, Transportation and Land Titles and Deeds must be
taken BEFORE Legal Forms.
f. Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure must be taken BEFORE
Special Proceedings and Special Civil Actions and Evidence and Trial
Technique.
g. Taxation 1 must be taken BEFORE Taxation 2
h. All courses in the first, second, and third years should be taken and
passed BEFORE the corresponding review courses in the fourth year,
subject only to an overload which, in his discretion, may be allowed by
the Dean.

Examinations
Section 1. There shall be three sets of examinations every semester - the
preliminary examination or quizzes, the mid-semestral examination and the
final examination.

Sec. 2. Aside from the regular examinations, the following examinations are
authorized and may be conducted upon prior approval of the Dean:
2.1 Special examination - This is allowed for a student who, for valid
reasons, failed to take the mid-semestral examination. In any case,

133 | Page
 the professor may opt to consider the student’s final examination
grade minus ten percent (10%) as his mid-semestral grade.
2.2 Completion examination - To be taken and passed by a student who
failed to take the final examination and must be taken within one
academic year from the date of official release of the grades where
the student obtained a grade of INC. Otherwise, he shall be deemed
to have failed therein. Unless otherwise approved by the Dean,
the student shall be given a deduction of ten percent (10%) in his
examination grade and in no case shall be given a final grade higher
than 80% in such completion examination. Except in prerequisite
courses and for students in the fourth year, the student may instead
be required to take the regular final examination in the course as
scheduled in the succeeding school year, the same to be considered
as his completion examination.
2.3 Removal examination - This shall be available only to fourth year
students who fail in any fourth year course or third year course
and must be taken by the student upon approval of the Dean, after
consultation with the faculty concerned, within thirty (30) days from
the date of official release of the grades. The results, together with
the student’s final grade, shall be submitted by the professor to the
Office of the Dean within five (5) days from the date of removal
examination.

Sec. 3. A student who fails to take a final examination may be given a completion
examination if his failure to take such examination is due to extra-curricular
activities of the school, or for reasons considered justifiable by the Dean, such
as sickness, death of an immediate member of the family and other similar
circumstances.

Whenever practicable, a completion examination in first semester courses

shall be given during the first week of February, and for second semester
subjects, during the first week of September. Those who fail to take the scheduled
examination may, at the Dean’s discretion, be allowed to take the completion
examination during the regular examination of the following academic year.

Sec. 4. A student who fails to take the examination in any, some, or all of the
courses in three examination periods, whether preliminary, mid-semestral,
or final, shall not be allowed to take any completion examination unless such
failure to take the exam was for a valid cause and with the approval of the
professor concerned and the Dean.

Sec. 5. Before a student is allowed to take a special, completion, or removal

examination, he must first secure the approval of the Dean by filing an
application in the prescribed form. If the application is approved, the student
shall obtain the examination permit from the Accounting Department after
payment of the required fees.

Page | 134
Sec. 6. The mechanics for taking all examinations are covered by the following
rules:
6.1 The student should present to the Professor or proctor at the start
of every examination his official permit, and sign the attendance
form upon submitting his examination booklet. No student shall be
allowed to take any examination without the official permit from the
Accounting Department.

use only the letters of the alphabet instead of actual names of persons
and places.
6.10 Once the examination starts, no student, except those who have
finished the examination, should be allowed to leave the classroom
unless accompanied by a proctor. A student who leaves in violation
of this rule shall not be allowed to continue with the examination.
As such, the proctors are advised to ensure that the students are
properly accompanied whenever they seek to leave the classroom
without first having finished the examination.

Sec. 7. The following penalties shall be imposed for any infraction of these rules,

as well as the room assignments shall be announced by the Office of the Dean.
In the case of irregular students with examinations scheduled at overlapping
hours, they should seek a rescheduling of the same, subject to prior approval

Curricular Framework
The CEU School of Medicine offers the four-year Doctor of Medicine
(MD) course. The 4-year medical curriculum was designed in adherence to the
Outcomes-based Education (OBE) thrust of the CHED embodied in its CMO 18
series 2016. The CMO aims to enhance quality assurance in Philippine Higher
Education through OBE.

Following CHED CMO 18, the CEU School of Medicine curriculum

purposes to develop in the medical student ten (10) learning outcomes. It aims
to mold graduates who are equipped with knowledge, skills and attitude to
excel in clinical practice and be transformative leaders in medicine.

Academic Policies
Classification of Students
1. Regular Students- students with a regular academic load for the
year.

Page | 146
 2. Irregular Students- students with less than the regular academic load
for the school year as a consequence of their failure to complete the
academic requirements for promotion to the next higher year. These
students will be allowed to enroll only in the courses which will enable
them to complete the requirements for promotion to the next higher
year level.

Attendance
Attendance in all classes is required.

Students, who for any reason(s), are absent in more than 20% of the total
number of hours in any particular course will be dropped from the course.

A student who is dropped from a course because of absences, will not be

given any grade if his class standing at the time he is dropped is passing.

Dropping of Subjects
The CEU School of Medicine allows a student to drop a course(s) for
poor academic performance while continuing to attend the rest of the courses
enrolled for the School Year. Only yearly courses can be dropped.
• Dropping period: Dropping of courses is only allowed during the
second semester of any School Year. The dropping period will be up
to one week after the first exam of the second semester (or 4-5 weeks
after the start of classes in the second semester). During this time, it
can be determined with better certainty if the student has no/very slim
chances of passing the course.
• A student may drop up to a maximum of 30% of the total academic
load for the year.
• A student who drops a course will not be eligible for any tuition fee
refund.
• He/she must comply with the maximum residency allowed by the
CEU SOM.
• He/she is not allowed to take any advance minor subjects together
with the dropped subject in the following School Year.

Leave of Absence
Application for leave of absence should be made in writing. The letter,
addressed to the Dean, must specify the reason(s) for the leave of absence.

If the leave of absence is made on or before the last day for dropping, the
student will not be given any grade. The word ‘’LOA’’ shall be placed in lieu
of a grade.

All leaves of absence are for a period of one year only. In exceptional
cases, a leave of absence may be extended for another year. Failure to apply for
extension of the LOA will result in dropping from the rolls. Such application
for extension must be made in writing and duly approved by the Dean. The

147 | Page
student must comply with the maximum residency rule of the School (8 years,
inclusive of all absences including LOA).

In case of medical concerns (e.g. pregnancy, chronic illnesses, etc.),

students are allowed to file a Leave of Absence provided a medical certificate is
presented.

Withdrawal
Request for withdrawal of enrollment should be made in writing. The
letter, addressed to the Dean, must specify the reason(s) for the request.

If the request is made within two weeks of the start of classes, refund of
tuition fee paid is allowed, subject to University policies.

Grading System
The faculty evaluates the students for their academic achievement as well
as in the attitude they manifest in the classrooms, laboratories, clinical areas
and the community.

Numerical grades/marks prescribed in the following official grading scale,

shall be strictly followed. Final grades are reported as follows:

Grade Description
1.00 98- 100 Excellent

2.75 77- 79 Fairly satisfactory
3.00 75- 76 Passed
5.00 <75 Failed
INC Incomplete

Incomplete Grades
The grade of Incomplete (INC), a temporary grade, indicates that the
student has a satisfactory record in course work, but for a valid reason is unable
to complete the course because of failure to take an examination or complete
an assigned work or task. An “Incomplete” grade must be resolved within one
year through completion of the deficiency.

Page | 148
 The manner of completion shall be prescribed by the Department concerned
upon approval by the Dean.

All incomplete grades not resolved within the prescribed period will be
reported as ‘’5.0’’ (Failed).

Students who wish to enroll in the next higher year level should have no
grade of incomplete at the time of enrollment.

Examinations and Other Evaluations

The academic performance of the student is assessed by means of
any combination of the following forms of evaluation: 1. Quizzes; 2. Long
examinations; 3. Semestral examinations; 4. Practical examinations; 5. Objective
Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs); 6. Final examinations; and, 7. Other
forms of evaluation, like recitations, reports, peer evaluation, etc. which may be
employed by the faculty.

Absence During Scheduled Examinations

foregoing reasons, the same must be communicated in advance to the following:
Subject Coordinator, Year Level Coordinator, Department Chairperson
concerned or Associate Dean (whoever is available).

Physical incapacity due to accident or illness, to be excusable, must be

verified with the submission of a medical certificate; and validated by the
Health Services Department.

Acceptance of any other reason/circumstance not covered above shall be

subject to the discretion of the Department Chairperson concerned, Associate
Dean or the Dean of the School.

Make-up exams will be given at the end of the semester of the missed exam.

Students who miss an exam for unexcused reasons will be given make-up
exams, subject to sanctions from the Department(s).

Promotion / Retention Policies

Promotion to the next higher year level is contingent on satisfactory
completion of all requirements of the current year and on the approval by the
Year Level Promotion Board concerned.

GRADUATE STUDENTS
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
Brief History
The CEU Graduate School was organized in 1926 during the administration
of Doña Librada Avelino, founder and first CEU President.

Dr. Concepcion A. Aguila was the first Graduate School Dean. She was
assisted by Dr. Lorenzo Paredes and Miss Generosa de Leon, then CEU
Registrar and Comptroller respectively. During her deanship (1926-1960), Dr.
Aguila developed and implemented programs leading to the degrees of Doctor
of Education and Doctor of Philosophy. CEU thus became the first non-sectarian
university to offer graduate school courses.

Dr. Alicia Jose Ramos, the second dean (1960-1965), is credited with the
expansion of the Graduate School and growth in its enrollment. In 1965, Dr. Paz
Policarpio Mendez, was appointed as its third dean. During her term, several
new programs in the masteral and doctoral levels were opened.

In 1988, Dr. Rosita L. Navarro was appointed as the fourth dean

of the Graduate School. The term of Dr. Navarro marked the start of
innovative programs which drew financial support from reputable funding
agencies. Several graduate degree programs have received international
recognition and endowments in the form of professorial chairs and research
grants.

By 2002, vertical articulation of graduate programs emanating from strong

undergraduate programs was implemented in CEU. These undergraduate
programs are from the School of Accountancy/Business/Secretarial/Public
Administration, School of Education/ Liberal Arts/Music/Social Work, School
of Pharmacy, School of Tourism-Family Economics-Nutrition and HRM, and
School of Science.

In 2006, the graduate programs of the School of Accountancy, Management

and Technology; the School of Education, Liberal Arts, Music, and Social
Work; and the School of Science were granted Level-3 Accredited Status by
the Philippine Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation
(PACUCOA), which were affirmed in 2007 when the three schools were granted
Level-3 re-accredited status.

In 2008, the School of Dentistry joined the five other schools in offering
graduate programs notably, Master of Science in Dentistry with Periodontics
and Orthodontics as areas of specialization.

In the same year, the School of Accountancy and Management offered

the first non-thesis program in CEU Manila with its Masters of Business
Administration (MBA non-thesis). Likewise, a doctoral program in Higher

Page | 154
Education Management was offered. The Master of Science in Information
Technology was offered effective school year 2009-2010. Since school year
2016-2017, more new programs have been offered such as Master of Science in
Nursing (Gerontology), Master of Science in Nursing (Maternal and Child), MS
in Medical Technology, Graduate Diploma in Data Analytics, PhD in Health
Sciences (Optometry) and Post Doctoral Diploma in Quality Management.

The Graduate School continually enhances its programs by revising and

offering new courses and adopting innovative learning mode deliveries in
response to the demand from the academe and the industry. Recently, the
Graduate School has embarked into customized programs particularly in Post-
Doctoral in Total Quality Management, Master of Arts in Education and Master
of Science in Pharmacy for its overseas Students who are completing their
degree programs. Today, it is studying the possibility of opening a full distance
learning program to serve more students.

In 2016, the Graduate School was approved by the Commission on Higher

Education (CHED) as a Delivering Higher Education Institution (DHEI) for the
CHED’s K-12 Transition Program providing scholarships to deserving faculty
members teaching at the tertiary level. CEU collaborated with institutions of
higher education in Visayas-Central Philippines University, Iloilo Doctors’
College and in Mindanao-Ozamis University and Davao Medical Foundation,
Inc. in offering three of its master’s programs: MS Health Sciences Education
(Dental Education), MS Medical Technology and MS Pharmacy to CHED scholars.

In 2017, CEU transformed its programs into outcomes-based education.

Program outcomes, course expected learning outcomes and program mapping
have been done to ensure the alignment of the courses with the program
outcomes and CEU graduate attributes.

Vision
The CEU Graduate School is envisioned as a graduate institution that
nurtures creative scholarship, intellectual independence, professional expertise
and moral commitment among leaders and active participants in nation
building and global cooperation.

Mission
In pursuit of the University’s philosophy of “Ciencia y Virtud” (science
and virtue), the Graduate School seeks to develop research-oriented and
technologically competent professionals and intellectually independent leaders
who are active participants in national and international development efforts.

Objectives
The principal aim of graduate study is the development of intellectual
independence and leadership through the cultivation of the scientific, critical
and creative faculties of the mind, the promotion of expertise in research and
the integration of the core values of CEU.

159 | Page
 Graduate courses are graded as follows:
1.00 - Outstanding/excellent performance
1.25 - Superior/very good performance
1.50 - Very satisfactory/above average performance
1.75 - Satisfactory/average performance
2.00 - Fairly satisfactory; does not entitle one to any credit for a course/subject
3.00 - Minimally satisfactory; does not entitle one to any credit for a
course/subject
5.00 - Unsatisfactory; does not entitle one to any graduate credit for a
course/subject

Only the final grade is reported to the Office of the University Registrar (OUR).

The bases of marks/grades in a course/subject and their corresponding

weights are as follows:
• Class participation (recitation, tests, assignments, projects, research
reports, etc.) – weight of 2/3;
• Summative examination – weight of 1/3;
E.g. A student who gets a 1.25 in class participation and 1.75 in summative
examination gets a grade/mark of 1.50
Mark Weight
CP 1.25 x2 = 2.50
SE 1.75 x1 = 1.75
4.25 /3 =1.42 (1.50)

For Clinical Dentistry, there is only one clinic grade which is the average
of all grades earned by the clinicians in all their clinic requirements during the
entire program. Laboratory grade should be part of the class participation in
courses with laboratory component.

A student with a mark of NFE (No Final Examination) must take the final
examination on the succeeding semester if he/she is currently enrolled or within one
(1) year if not currently enrolled, otherwise he/she does not get credit for the course.

A remark of NFR (No Final Requirement) shall be given to the student who
fails to submit the requirements of the course during the semester he/she is enrolled
in it. The NFR must be completed within one (1) semester.
