Institute of Mathematics Rules on Admission and Disqualification

2012-08-02T04:27:11Z

Egganzon: /* RULES ON DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE B.S. MATHEMATICS PROGRAM */

The '''Institute of Mathematics''' is the leading institution for mathematics research and education in the Philippines. Since 1998, it has been recognized by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education as a Center of Excellence. It is home to the country's best and more promising researchers in mathematics.

Apart from offering an excellent BS Mathematics program, the Institute also grants the following graduate degrees: MA Mathematics, Professional Master's in Applied Mathematics, MS Applied Mathematics, MS Mathematics and PhD Mathematics.

Formerly known as the Department of Mathematics, the Institute is the largest institute in the University of the Philippines System, with about 100 full-time faculty members supported by 8 administrative and computer staff. It nurtures about 300 undergraduate and 200 graduate students, and handles all the mathematics courses of some 5000 undergraduate students in the whole UP Diliman campus.

== RULES ON ADMISSION INTO THE B.S. MATHEMATICS PROGRAM ==

'''New Incoming Freshmen''' 
A new incoming freshman must qualify for admission into U.P. Diliman thru the U.P. College Admission Test (UPCAT) and must make it to the B.S. Mathematics cut-off in Math. 

Admission into the program, in any case, shall be dependent on the availability of slots in the program and the current resources of the department. 

'''Undergraduate Transfer Student''' 

All applicants for transfer to the B.S. Mathematics program shall be accepted and processed only for the first semester of each academic year through the Office of the College Secretary, College of Science. 

An applicant for transfer should submit the following to the Office of the College Secretary, College of Science not later than one month before the first regular registration day of the first semester or within a prescribed application period. 

'''For Transfer from Within the U.P. System''' 

- an accomplished form of Application for Transfer to the College of Science;

- a referral from the U.P. Registrar 

The Department of Mathematics shall consider only the applications of students who have satisfied applicable University and College Rules on admission of transfer students. 

'''Admission into the B.S. Mathematics Program is further subject to the following rules.''' 

- A U.P. student from other programs or a transfer student from other institutions who has finished at least Math 63 or equivalent may be admitted to the program, provided that 
* he/she has not incurred a grade of 5.0 in any Math subject and that 
* he/she has a weighted average of at least 2.0 in all his Math subjects. 

== RULES ON DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE B.S. MATHEMATICS PROGRAM ==

'''For Lower Division Mathematics Subjects (Math 109 and below)''' 
- A student shall be disqualified from the program: 
* upon incurring a second failing grade* in the same math subject, OR 
* if, after six semesters of enrolment, he/she fails to complete all such math subjects, OR 
* if, upon complete of all such math subjects, he/she fails to obtain a weighted average of at least 3.0 in all such subjects. 

'''For Upper Division Mathematics Subjects (Math 110.1 & Above)''' 
- A student shall be disqualified from the program: 
* upon incurring a third failing grade* in the same math subject, OR 
* if, in one semester, he/she is enrolled in at least 4 such subjects as of the last day of late registration and he/she does not pass any of such subjects, OR 
* if, in one academic year, he/she does not pass at least the required minimum number of math subjects according to the following table: 

Total No.** of 3-unit

'''Legend: '''

1 Math 14 and Math 53 are to be taken together provided the student has passed the Advanced placement exam in Math 11. Otherwise the students must take Math 17 in the first year/1st semester (in place of Math 14 and Math 53); Math 53 in the first year/2nd Semester (in place of Math 54); and Math 54 in the immediately following summer session 

2 May be chosen from Physics 135, Physics 161, Physics 195 or Applied Physics courses 

3 May be chosen, upon the consent of the adviser, from courses in Natural Sciences or Mathematics 

* Kas 1 and Fil 40 satisfy the 6 unit Philippine Studies requirement 

Note: As a requirement for graduation, all students are required to take six (6) units in one of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) component. ROTC & Civic Welfare Training Service are offered by UPD.
