UST's scale is the common Philippine college scale — the same table as the Grade Equivalents page. The percentages are typical, not official: UST publishes its own exact table in the student handbook, and it is the table that counts for your record. For how the scale differs between schools, see the College Grading System guide.

UST Dean's List — what to check

UST's Dean's List is a per-semester honor, like at other Philippine universities: it is usually judged on that semester's GWA, with no failing grade and a full semestral load. The exact GWA cutoff is set by UST and can differ by college, so check the student handbook for your college rather than trusting a number from a classmate or a forum. The Dean's Lister guide explains the typical requirements across Philippine colleges — and how the list differs from Latin honors, which use your whole-course GWA at graduation.

Worked example

Four subjects, one semester: 1.00 (3 units), 1.25 (3 units), 1.75 (2 units), 2.00 (3 units). Multiply each grade by its units: 3.00 + 3.75 + 3.50 + 6.00 = 16.25. Divide by total units (11): 16.25 ÷ 11 = 1.48 — a strong GWA, inside the usual honors range. The full step-by-step method is on the How to Compute GWA page, and your whole-course number is the Cumulative GWA.

Your college handbook wins. Grading, Dean's List cutoffs and retake policy can vary between UST colleges. The numbers on this page are the common Philippine rules — your college office or the registrar has the final say for your record.

Frequently asked questions

UST (University of Santo Tomas) uses the 1.00–5.00 scale, where 1.00 is the best grade and 5.00 means failed. Add your subjects with their grades and units below, and the calculator computes your GWA the same way UST does: grade × units, added up, divided by total units.

UST uses the 1.00–5.00 scale used by most Philippine colleges: 1.00 is Excellent, 3.00 is the usual passing mark (75%), 4.00 is conditional and 5.00 means failed. The exact percentage attached to each grade is in the UST student handbook.

UST publishes its own Dean's List rules in its student handbook, and the cutoff can differ by college within the university. The typical range across Philippine universities is 1.75 or better for the semester, with no failing grade — but for UST, the handbook for your college is the only official source.

The scale and the formula are the same — both use 1.00–5.00 and grade × units ÷ total units. What differs are the rules around the number: honors cutoffs, Dean's List requirements and retake policy are set by each university, so a 1.75 means the same grade at both schools but may qualify for different honors.

On your grade slip each semester and on your Transcript of Records (TOR), issued by the UST registrar. Compute it yourself with the calculator above and compare — if the numbers do not match, ask the registrar.

Yes — any school on the 1.00–5.00 scale: UP, PUP, NU and most Philippine colleges. If your school uses a 4.00 scale instead (DLSU, Ateneo, FEU), use the University GWA Calculators page and pick the 4.00 scale.
