Grade of EXT


The completion of EXT and removal of 4.0 are applicable to students who have incurred a grade of EXT or 4.0.


An EXT (Extended) mark is given to a student who fails to submit any one of the requirements of the course. Completion of EXT may entail submission of assignments, taking examinations, and other work that the faculty-in-charge may require. 


On the other hand, a grade of 4.0 may be removed by successful repetition of the course, or by passing the re-examination during the prescribed removal period. Students who pass the re-examination shall be given a grade of 3.0 and those who failed, a grade of 5.0. 


How to Apply for Completion / Removal:

  • Step 1: Log in to the Student Portal and apply for completion or removal.

Note: If you cannot access the Student Portal, please send an email to techsupport@upou.edu.ph.

  • Step 2: Submit the print copy of the application to the FMDS along with the lacking requirement/s, if any. If the lacking requirement is an exam, contact the Faculty Office regarding the details of the exam.
  • Step 3: Wait for an email from the Faculty of Study for updates.
