FINAL EXAMINATION II. GRADING SYSTEM: (Article IX. Section 8 of 2010 ed. UB student handbook) The cumulative computation of grades during the second and final grading periods still applies: 1/3 of the previous grade plus 2/3 of the tentative grade. All failing grades in the final grading period are converted to 70. Highest Possible Score (HPS) refers to the sum total points of all quizzes, unit tests, assignments and/ or projects, and periodical examinations given or administered within the grading period. Students Actual Total Score (SATS) refers to the total score obtained by the student in the given quizzes, unit tests, assignments and/ or projects, and periodical examinations. Lowest Possible Score (LPS) refers to the cut off score as indicated below. Cut-off Score. The cut-off point which determines the lowest passing score. General Education Subjects in Non-Board and Board Programs 70% equivalent to 75.
