| For promotion to | Required annual QPA |
| 2nd year | 1.2 |
| 3rd year | 1.5 |
| 4th year | 1.8 |

The annual QPA is always calculated in May (end of the academic year). Thus the summer term grades are included in the calculation of annual QPA of the following academic year regardless whether the program has a required Summer enrollment.
The grades of transferees who enter FEU in the second term will be included in the calculation of the QPA of the following academic year. Transfer credits will only be included in the calculation of the end-of-program QPA.
Students must meet the annual QPA requirement in order to be qualified for promotion to the next year level or for retention in FEU. Specific degree program requirements apply for retention and promotion within the degree program.
Students who do not meet the annual QPA requirement will be on University Non-readmission (UNRA) status*
Program QPA Requirements
The following are the annual QPA required per program. Students who cannot meet the program QPA requirement will be on Program Non-readmission (PNRA) status. Students on PNRA status will not be readmitted to their program in the succeeding year but may opt to apply for admission into a degree program with the minimum university-level QPA requirement.

Selective Retention
Students on UNRA or PNRA status will be subject to the FEU Selective Retention Policy.
The Selective Retention Policy provides for an appeals process. Students whose appeals will be approved will be required to take and pass an enrichment course that is outside of their curriculum. They will not be allowed to take the enrichment course alongside academic requirements of their curriculum. The enrichment course is meant to help the students’ strengthen their study skills and provide them an opportunity to examine their work habits.
Students who do not meet the QPA requirement at the end of the 4th year cannot graduate even if they have completed all their academic requirements. These students will be asked to take and pass a refresher course which is outside their program of study.
Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) Mechanics:
A student who has not met the required minimum QPA and is placed under UNRA/PNRA status may apply for the Summer Enrichment Program (SEP).
For PNRA cases, the student will be directed to their department chair or institute dean who in turn will decide whether the former will be recommended to take the SEP or not. If the student is recommended, the dean will send an endorsement letter/ note to the General Education (GE) director to register the student under the SEP; otherwise, the dean advises the student to shift program.
For UNRA cases, the student will be advised either by the department chair, the Dean, or the guidance Counselor (whoever the students sees first) to see the GE director.
The GE director checks the UNRA/PNRA list provided by the University Registrar and decides if the student is eligible to be admitted to the program.
If the student is not eligible to be part of the program based on the threshold set by the Senior Vice-President for Academic Affairs, and the University Registrar, the GE director advises the student to process their transfer credentials.
If the student is found eligible to be under the program, the GE director explains to the student the rationale of the SEP and initially enlists the student in the program after the student’s signification of intent to enroll.
The GE director calls for a general orientation. Parents and guardians are highly encouraged to attend as well.
After the orientation, the student is asked to fill out the undertaking form to signify their voluntariness to enroll in the program. A Request for Payment Slip is then given to the student. This is to be presented to the cashier since SEP is different from the regular summer term offering.
Official receipt of SEP payment is presented by the student to the GE Director who will simply copy the OR number at the bottom of the undertaking form. The OR is returned to the student.
The student is listed according to their section.
A copy of the schedule of their classes is given to the student.
All students are given another re-orientation during the first session of the program. This is to accommodate the late enrollees who were not able to attend the general orientation.
A class adviser will be assigned for each section not only to monitor the attendance but most importantly, to shepherd the class.
The facilitator of each module will be given an evaluation instrument template that contains the criteria for the assessment of the student’s performance and output in their session/module. Each student will be given a grade by the facilitators following the grading system of the GE courses.
The student will be individually assessed and evaluated by all the facilitators, and the class advisers during a special meeting to be called for by the GE director to determine whether the student has passed the program or not.
At the end of the program, the student will be given a Certificate of Completion which they will submit, together with other pertinent documents, to the guidance and Counseling Office. Only those who have passed the program will be awarded with the certificate.
The SRP Committee will deliberate for the approval/disapproval of the online re-admission application of the student.
