1.       The load and sequence of subjects shall be in accordance with the approved curriculum for each program or course of study.  Reasonable exemptions to this rule may be permitted taking into account the best interest of the student and the objectives of SSC. Such instances usually come in a form of formal advice or communication from the dean’s/institute director’s office.

2.   As a general rule, no subject  may be taken unless the pre-requisite subjects have been taken and passed.

3.   Upon the discretion of school deans, institute director and registrar, a graduating student may be allowed an additional subject load in excess of the regular load indicated in the curriculum.

4.   Upon recommendation  of the deans/director, non-graduating students may be allowed an additional subject load of not more than three (3) academic units in excess of the regular load if the purpose of such overload is to make up for a previously failed subject or to grant the student regular status upon passing the subject.

5.   As a rule, laboratory subjects that are paired with an academic subject should be taken during the same semester as the academic subject even if separate grades are given for both. 

6.   As a rule, no college student should be allowed to enroll in the 4^th year unless the student has already taken and passed all PE and NSTP subjects.

Academic Overload 

1.   Section 69 of the 1992 MRPS states that a graduating student may be permitted, upon the discretion of the school, an additional subject load of not more than two subjects or six academic units, in excess of the normal load specified in the curriculum.

2.   CHED-NCR MEMO 3, s. 2000 reiterates this provision in recognition of the academic freedom of the institution.  In other words, the HEI, through the Registrar’s Office, shall assume responsibility in determining more than six units overload for graduating students as well as their general education courses.

3.   In exceptional cases, a non-graduating student may be allowed to re-enroll a failed subject in addition to the normal load to regain the regular status.
