Retention Policy for Continuing Students

The Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (BECEd) Program upholds high academic standards to ensure that students continuously develop the competencies, professional dispositions, and ethical values expected of future early childhood educators.

For continuing students, the program requires a General Point Average (GPA) of at  least 2.50 every semester to remain in good academic standing, as stipulated in the Tubod  College Student Manual, Section 2 (Admission Policy), Subsection 2.15.1.1.1. While the minimum retention requirement is a GPA of 2.50, the program strongly encourages students to strive for a GPA of 2.25 or higher as a benchmark of academic excellence and preparedness for professional practice and the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT).

Students who fail to meet the prescribed retention requirement or who exhibit academic difficulties shall undergo a comprehensive assessment of their academic performance and learning needs. Based on the results of the assessment, the Program Coordinator, in collaboration with course instructors and the Guidance Office, shall implement appropriate intervention strategies to support the student's academic improvement. These interventions may include, but are not limited to:

• Individual academic advising and consultation;
• Mentoring and coaching sessions with faculty members;
• Participation in tutorial or remedial learning activities;
• Development of an individualized academic improvement plan;
• Referral to the Guidance Office for academic and personal counseling, when necessary;
• Regular monitoring of academic progress and classroom performance; and
• Parent or guardian conferences, when deemed appropriate by the program.

The primary objective of these interventions is to assist students in overcoming academic challenges, strengthening their professional competencies, and successfully completing the program. The BECEd Program remains committed to providing a supportive learning environment that promotes student success while maintaining the academic standards expected of future professional educators.
