Retention Policy for the EM Program
For Freshmen: You are automatically separated from the EM Program if, by the end of the first semester, you fail 9 units from the total unit load for the first semester; or if, by the end of your first year, you incur failing grades (3.50) in 20% or more of your total unit load for the first year.((For 2nd Year to 4th Year: You are automatically separated from the EMP if, by the end of a particular semester, you incur failing grades (3.50) in 20% or more of your total cumulative unit load as of the end of that particular semester.
Here is an example. A freshman obtained the following grades for the school year:
1st Semester
| Subjects | Grade | Units |
| Eng 1 | 2.00 | 3 |
| Fil 1 | 2.50 | 3 |
| Nat Sc1 | 3.50 | 3 |
| EMPE 01 | 2.50 | 3 |
| Philo 1 | 3.00 | 3 |
| PDS 1A | 2.00 | 1.5 |
| Math 1 | 2.75 | 3 |
| EMPE 1 | 2.00 | 2 |
| TOTAL | 21.50 |
2nd Semester
| Subjects | Grade | Units |
| PDS 1B | 2.00 | 1.5 |
| Theo 1 | 2.50 | 3 |
| Eng 2 | 2.25 | 3 |
| Fil 2 | 3.00 | 3 |
| Math 2 | 3.50 | 3 |
| ACF 1 | 3.50 | 3 |
| Mgt 1 | 2.00 | 3 |
| EMPE 2 | 2.25 | 2 |
| TOTAL | 21.50 |
The total number of units enrolled in for the first year is 43 units. 20% of 43 units is 8.6. The student in the example above got a grade of 3.50 in 9 units. So, the student will no longer be admitted for the following school year.
