2. The applicant can not make up for any inadequacy in the number of units by enrolling during the Summer after the application period. Thus, if a sophomore applicant has completed only 27 units of qualified pre-econ courses as of the time of application, the course(s) he or she will enroll during the summer after the application period will not be considered.

In computing the general weighted average a grade of “4” will be counted if not yet removed. If removed by means of exam, the final grade of “3” or “5” will be counted. If the student re-enrolled in course, “4” remains “4” until course is completed in which case, the final grade on re-enrollment and the grade of “4” is inputted. If not removed or student does not re-enroll within the prescribed period of one year, “4” becomes “5”.

ECON 198 (Special Topics in Differential and Integral Calculus) is a required subject and under the new BSE and BSBE curriculum. It will be offered next semester (2nd Sem, 2010-11) as ECON 198 THR to be taught at the Math building.

ECON 198 THR (Special Topics in Differential and Integral Calculus) is a transitional course which UPSE will offer until the Math Department offers Math 102. As such, it will be treated as a math requirement and NOT as an Econ elective. This means that it will not be included in the computation of the EWA. Nor can it be credited as an Econ Elective by students under the old curriculum.
