MSU-ILIGAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
Andres Bonifacio Avenue, Tibanga
9200 Iligan City, Philippines
SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES
PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK
A.Y. 2008-2009
Foreword
The “Philosophical Framework and Objectives” of the School of
Graduate Studies was approved by the Board of Regents in its 147th
meeting through BOR Resolution No. 72, series of 1992. For the past
sixteen years (16) years, the Framework has guided the School of Graduate
Studies of MSU-IIT in the implementation and administration of its programs.
Over the years, development in the graduate programs were
apparent. Implementing Rules and Regulations, vis-à-vis, guidelines and
policies, in the form of minutes of meetings, memoranda and special orders, were issued for the smooth implementation of the programs. For
purposes of reference, browsing through these loose-leaf documents
became cumbersome and time-consuming. It is therefore felt that these guidelines and policies be consolidated and compiled into a bound copy.
For this reason, the School of Graduate Studies, through its Graduate
Coordinators’ Committee, spearheaded this initiative to come up with what is now called “The MSU-IIT School of Graduate Studies Philosophical
Framework”.
We hope that this Framework will also help clarify pressing issues
and concerns which may not have been addressed succinctly in the last manuscript. Undoubtedly, this will benefit both faculty and students in
their quest for clear-cut policies in the School of Graduate Studies.
We are thankful to the College Coordinators who have unselfishly shared their experiences, insights and concerns, through series of
committee meetings, in order to come up with the policies that are now
embodied in this Framework. We are also thankful to the MSU-IIT administration under
Chancellor Marcello P. Salazar and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Arnulfo P. Supe for their full support particularly in the publication of this
Framework.

Classification of Graduate Students
Graduate students upon admission shall be classified as follows:
1. Regular - a full-fledged regular graduate student who satisfactorily
complies with all the requirements for admission, including those prescribed by the department/college offering the degree.
2. Conditional - an applicant with deficiencies, e.g., prerequisite
courses, but satisfies all the basic requirements for admission. The said deficiencies should be satisfied on or before the end of the
second semester of the first year of attendance. A student on
conditional status should be dismissed from the School of Graduate Studies if he/she fails to earn a GPA of 2.00 or better in
the first semester of residence for the master’s degree, or a GPA of
1.75 or better for the doctoral degree.
3. Probational - an applicant who fails to earn an undergraduate GPA
8
of 2.00 or better but has proven to be capable to pursue a master’s
degree, or an applicant who fails to earn a GPA of 1.75 or better in the master’s degree but has proven to be capable to pursue
doctoral studies. A student on probation should be dismissed from
the School of Graduate Studies if he/she fails to earn a GPA of
2.00 or better in the first semester of residence for the master’s degree, or a GPA of 1.75 or better for the doctoral degree.
4. Special - an applicant who, in writing, does not intend to pursue a
graduate degree but seeks admission to the School of Graduate Studies to register in some courses. Credits earned during the
period as a special student are not credited for any degree unless
the basic requirements for admission to the degree have been satisfied, approved and recommended by the department/college.
Such credits shall not exceed nine (9) units. Any student admitted as probational cannot continue to register as such
beyond one semester. No student can be admitted for candidacy to a degree while in the conditional or probational status.
If the major department believes that a student cannot complete the
degree sought, the said department will advise the School of Graduate Studies in writing to dismiss the student from the program being pursued.
The Program Adviser and the Advisory Panel
During the registration period, a student is assigned a program adviser
tasked to help plan the student’s program of study. The program adviser is temporary until a major adviser has been
designated not later than the end of the first semester of study for a
master’s program and not later than the end of the 2nd
semester for a doctoral program, or not later than the end of the second summer of study
in case of students who register for summer classes only. The student
concerned must carefully choose his/her research adviser subject to the approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.
An advisory panel, when created, shall act as the examining body for
the required proposal hearing on the thesis/dissertation of the student. SGS
Form 1, Nomination of Members of Advisory Panel, is used for this purpose.
An adviser should be a member of the graduate faculty accredited for
thesis/dissertation writing. The comprehensive/preliminary examination committee shall be
distinct from the advisory panel. SGS Form 11, Nomination of Members
of Written Examination Committee, is used for this purpose.
9
It is recommended that, for purposes of continuity, members of the
advisory panel will later constitute the oral examination committee. SGS Form 5, Nomination of Members of Oral Examination Panel, is used for
this purpose.
Program of Study During the first semester of residence, the student draws up a program
of study in consultation with the program adviser. The program adviser
guides/assists the student on the courses to be taken, and recommends approval of the student’s program of study. The program of study shall be
signed by the program adviser and a copy shall be filed at the Department.
(Refer to Sample forms for the format using the semestral arrangement or course listing).
In certain cases, a student may be required to enroll in
undergraduate/bridging courses necessary to satisfy the prerequisite
requirements of courses in the program sought. In such cases, regular tuition fee rate for graduate students applies even if the course is
undergraduate.
Course Work
The curriculum for master’s degree with thesis should contain a
minimum total of 36 units distributed as follows: 30 academic units
+ 6 thesis units
TOTAL 36 units
Non-thesis master’s degree normally has at least a total of 45 units
that include a 3-unit special project course.
The doctoral program normally includes a minimum of 48 units distributed as follows:
36 academic units (excluding the master’s academic
units and thesis)
+ 12 dissertation units TOTAL 48 units
Transfer of Credits 1. No undergraduate units shall be credited for graduate work.
2. No more than nine (9) graduate units earned in one program may
be credited towards course work for a master’s degree, and no more than sixteen (16) graduate units earned at the Ph.D. level
10
may be credited towards course work for a doctoral degree, and
provided further that courses taken in other universities are subject to validation. The “Application for Advance Credit” form
may be used for this purpose.
3. Transfer of credits must be formally requested by the student
upon recommendation by the SGS Dean and Department Chair and approved by the Dean of the College/School.
4. The application for transfer of credits shall be forwarded to the
Institute Registrar for recording and filing. 5. Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of the student’s
Grade-Point Average.
Grading System (BOR Res. No. 12 s1997)
The grading system in the graduate programs shall be as follows:
1.00 – 1.25 Excellent
1.50 – 1.75 Very Good 2.00 – 2.25 Good
2.50 - 2.75 Satisfactory
3.00 Passing 5.00 Failure
INC Incomplete (carries no credit)
Minimum Grade Requirement
Evaluation of the student’s academic standing shall be done at the end
of each semester. To be in good standing, a student in a master’s program
must maintain a Grade-Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or better in graduate courses. A student in a doctoral program must maintain a GPA of 1.75 or
better to be in good standing.
As soon as a student’s performance falls below the standard as stated above, the SGS Dean, upon consultation with the academic unit
concerned, will designate the student as probational in status and will
immediately notify the student, the adviser, and the Institute Registrar. If
the student, in the next semester of registration is still classified as probational, the student will be dismissed from the program.
For the purpose of computing the Grade-Point Average (GPA), an
incomplete (INC) grade will be counted as 5.0.
Residence Requirement
The student in a master’s program shall have been in residence for at least one year immediately prior to the award of the degree (or, in the case
11
of a student who comes in only for summer courses, for at least five
summers). The student in a doctoral program shall have been in residence for at
least one-and-a-half (1½) years immediately prior to the award of the
degree.
Time Limit for Completion
All requirements for the Master’s degree shall be completed in not
more than five (5) calendar years, and the doctoral degree shall be completed in not more than seven (7) calendar years, including leaves,
from the time a student advances admission to candidacy for the degree.
Awarding of the degree is forfeited if the student fails to finish the degree within the prescribed period. However, the student may be re-admitted to
the program. As such, a maximum of thirty percent (30%) of the total
units, or nine (9) units, whichever is higher, previously taken under the
program can be validated for master’s program, and thirty percent (30%) of the total units, or sixteen (16) units, whichever is higher, for doctoral
program.
Disqualification
A student will be dismissed from the program in any of the following
cases: 1. failure to maintain a GPA of 2.0 or better for master’s program or
1.75 or better for doctoral programs in two consecutive semesters;
and failure to attain a cumulative weighted GPA of 2.0 or 1.75,
for master’s or doctoral program, respectively; 2. Failure at a second try in the comprehensive examination;
3. Failure at a second try in the oral examination of the special
project/thesis/dissertation; or 4. Failure on the same subject the third time.
A first year student in a master’s or doctoral program who is
admitted on a probational, conditional or special status shall be dismissed from the School of Graduate Studies if the student fails to earn a GPA of
2.0 or better, for Master’s, or 1.75 or better for doctoral program, in the
first semester of residence.
Admission to Candidacy
Admission to the School of Graduate Studies does not imply admission to candidacy for a degree. A graduate student is subsequently
12
admitted to candidacy only after the student has demonstrated ability to do
graduate work. The School of Graduate Studies shall award admission to candidacy for the master’s degree after the student has completed at least
twelve (12) units of the required courses in residence with a GPA of 2.0 or
better. Award of admission to candidacy for students in doctoral programs
will be given only after at least one-third (1/3) of the total required units of the program have been earned in residence with a GPA of 1.75 or better.
The program of study listed in the application should be planned in
consultation with the program adviser. Both the program coordinator/adviser and the department head, with the concurrence of the
College Coordinator, approve the application for admission to candidacy
before it is submitted to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies for final approval, and issuance of an Office Order.
Candidacy to a master’s degree will be given only after:
1. All undergraduate prerequisites or deficiencies have been
satisfied; 2. At least twelve (12) units graduate credit has been
completed in residence with a GPA of 2.0 or better;
3. Departmental requirements, if any, e.g., foreign language, etc., have been completed; and
4. Transfer of credits, if any, has been approved.
Candidacy to a doctoral degree will be given only after:
1. All prerequisites or deficiencies have been satisfied;
2. At least one-third (1/3) of the total required units of the
doctoral program shall have been earned with credit and completed in residence with a GPA of 1.75 or better; and
3. Transfer of credits, if any, has been approved.
Intention to Graduate
At the start of the semester, graduating students shall file “Application
for Intention to Graduate” using SGS Form 13. This informs the major
department and the School of Graduate Studies the intention of the student to complete all degree requirements during the semester. This likewise
serves as the basis for the School of Graduate Studies to recommend to the
Institute Council the student for graduation. Once the student has filed this form during the semester, and in the case when he/she fails to graduate in
the same semester, the student need not refile the same form the following
semester. Enrolment in the semester subsequent to filing is enough for the School of Graduate Studies to re-endorse the student’s graduation during
13
the semester.
Once graduation of the student is assured during the semester, a separate form, “Application for Graduation”, will have to be filed at the
Registrar’s Office. Refer to the Institute Calendar for the filing deadline.
Comprehensive Examination Depending on the design of a program, a comprehensive examination
may or may not be administered to students taking programs with a
thesis/dissertation. However, in a non-thesis (coursework) program, a comprehensive examination must be administered. The comprehensive
examination shall aim to test the student’s ability to integrate and apply the
knowledge acquired in the program of study. The areas/subjects covered by the comprehensive examination shall be prescribed by the program.
The comprehensive examination shall be given only to a candidate
after completion of courses covered by the examination and after
accomplishing SGS Form 10 (Application for Written Examination), indicating the date, time and place of the examination. Application should
be filed in the School of Graduate Studies at least one (1) week before the
intended date of examination. The official receipt of the examination fee must be attached to the application form. The comprehensive examination
shall be administered on at most two days within a period of two weeks.
The comprehensive examination shall be conducted by a comprehensive examination committee of at least three members, all of
whom shall be drawn from the graduate faculty of the department upon
joint recommendation of the Program Adviser and the Program/College
Coordinator, and subject to approval by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. Ideally, the panel shall be composed of Professors of the
students who handled the subjects covered by the examination. The same
members shall take charge of correcting the examination. In the case when a Professor is on study or sick leave, etc., such that the same is unable to
administer the exam, a duly authorized graduate faculty member may be
delegated in his/her behalf. SGS Form 11, Nomination of Members of
Written Examination Committee, is used for this purpose. Results of the examination shall be reported to the School of Graduate
Studies not later than two weeks after the date of examination using SGS
Form 12 (Written Examination Report). The comprehensive examination questions and answer booklets shall be available for inspection and shall
be kept at the Department for at least one (1) year.
If the candidate fails the examination, a second examination may be given at any convenient time. A student is dismissed from the program if
14
he/she fails in the second examination.
Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation
A student who has been admitted to candidacy for a degree conducts
the special project/thesis/dissertation in phases with the assistance of the
adviser. Once the research proposal is approved by the advisory panel and by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies in a proposal hearing, the
student can start formal work on the research as proposed.
Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation work as a course is required of a student. Enrolment on this course, however, requires completion of all
academic requirements with a GPA of 1.75 or 2.0 for master’s program or
doctoral program, respectively. Some programs may require passing the comprehensive exam, prior to or concurrent with, enrolment of the
research course.
When the work is not completed after the first semester of formal
registration, it must be continually registered until the manuscript is completed, approved and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies.
This continuous registration rule is required whether or not the student is
enrolled in other courses. Special project/thesis/dissertation not finished within the semester must be reported as In Progress (IP) in the grading
sheet. It shall be rated qualitatively, i.e., IP (In Progress), P (Passed) or F
(Failed). After a successful defense, the Adviser shall submit a report and the Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation title and rating shall be entered in
the student academic records.
Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation Advisory Panel With the approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, and
endorsed by the College/School Graduate Coordinator, the student chooses
the advisory panel with the following composition: For a special project, the panel is composed of an adviser with
zero (0), one (1) or more members. SGS Form 5 (Nomination of Members
of Oral Examination Panel) is used for this purpose.
For a master’s thesis, the panel is composed of one adviser with at least two (2) members. SGS Form 1 (Nomination of Members of Advisory
Panel) is used for this purpose.
For a dissertation, the panel is composed of an adviser with at least three (3) members, one of whom is an off-campus member. An off-campus
member is one who is working outside MSU-IIT campus. He/She may be
a graduate faculty member of the MSU System or other prestigious academic institution, or an expert in the field of specialization sought who
15
is working in the industries, etc. SGS Form 1 (Nomination of Members of
Advisory Panel) is used for this purpose. The adviser shall be the chair of the advisory panel. All members
of the advisory panel, except possibly the off-campus examiner, shall be
graduate faculty members accredited for special project/thesis/dissertation
advising. In principle, the adviser must be a member of the Graduate Faculty
of MSU-IIT. However, an off-campus adviser may be assigned to the
student, if indispensable. In this case, a co-adviser from MSU-IIT must be assigned to the student. The co-adviser shall enjoy the same honorarium as
the adviser.
The adviser/co-adviser must have written a master’s thesis and/or doctoral dissertation. A holder of a non-thesis master’s or doctoral degree
cannot be a thesis/dissertation adviser/co-adviser.
The adviser is tasked to enter the qualitative grade of P (Passing),
IP (In Progress) or F (Failed) in the grading sheet of the research course at the end of the semester. In case an off-campus adviser, due to
inaccessibility from MSU-IIT or, for some other reason, is incapable of
entering the grade at the end of the semester, the co-adviser, who is an MSU-IIT graduate faculty, in consultation with the adviser, may be
authorized to do so.
Entry of the passing grade P for a dissertation/thesis/special project can be done only after submission of bound copies of the
manuscript.
The composition of the advisory panel may be altered when there is a
strong reason necessitating the change, such as disability or prolonged absence of any panel member, or a strained working relationship among
panel members, the student and the adviser, etc., and only upon
endorsement by the Program/Graduate Coordinator and approval by the SGS Dean. SGS Form 2 (Request for Change of Adviser/Panel Member) is
used for this purpose.
Oral Examination on Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation The oral examination on the completed special
project/thesis/dissertation shall be conducted by the members of the Oral
Examination Panel indicated in SGS Form 5 (Nomination of Members of Oral Examination Panel). In the case of oral examination on a dissertation,
at least one off-campus examiner shall be included as a member of the oral
examination committee. The adviser shall act as the Chair of the Oral Examination Panel who serves as a non-voting member. The special
16
project/thesis/dissertation must give evidence of the student’s capacity for
sound research and must be a worthwhile contribution to knowledge. SGS Form 6 (Approval for Final Defense) together with a copy of
the manuscript, must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies at
least one (1) week prior to the scheduled final defense. An accompanying
poster, 30” x 40” (preferably tarpaulin), must be shown containing a summary of the study (Abstract, Introduction, Research Design and
Methodology, Results and Discussion, Conclusions and
Recommendations). The poster must be displayed conspicuously, preferably at the lobby of the College/School. Alongside the poster,
information regarding the place, date and time of the defense must be
properly displayed. Each member of the panel must be provided with a copy of the
manuscript. The final defense, which is a public oral examination, must be
conducted at least one (1) month before graduation day. Official receipt of
the defense fee must be attached to the application form. The report on the result of the oral examination shall be submitted
by the Chair of the panel of examiners to the SGS Dean immediately after
the examination and using SGS Form 7 (Oral Examination Report) and SGS Form 8 (Panel Oral Examination Report). Failure at a second oral
examination shall disqualify the candidate from the program.
Six (6) to Eight (8) bound copies of the approved manuscript plus three (3) printed copies of an abstract (300 to 500 words), and a CD
containing the electronic files of the manuscript and the abstract shall be
submitted to the School of Graduate Studies twenty (20) days before
graduation day. These items must be submitted before the adviser enters the grade of P (Passing) for the research course.
The School of Graduate Studies shall distribute the bound copies
to the following persons/institutions/units: (1) the original copy to the MSU-IIT main library, a copy each for the (2) School of Graduate Studies,
(3) the Major Department, (4) the National Library, (5) the Adviser, (6)
student, (7) the Scholarship Granting Agency, if the student is a scholar,
and (8) the Sending Institution, if the student is connected to an entity that supported his/her study. Bound copies of the approved manuscript shall be
submitted to the School of Graduate Studies not more than one year from
the date of approval of the manuscript. Otherwise, a re-examination on the research shall be required.
Minimum/Maximum Load A student, when authorized by the SGS Dean, is allowed a regular
17
load per semester of twelve (12) units in the graduate level, except when
so specified, but not to exceed fifteen (15) units. Regular students shall be allowed a load of twelve (12) units in the
graduate level, or more if authorized by the SGS Dean.
Conditional students shall be allowed a load of at most six (6) units in
the graduate level and at most nine(9) units in the undergraduate level. Probational students shall be allowed a maximum load of nine (9)
units.
Students on special status may carry a maximum load of six (6) units per semester, for at most two semesters.
Repetition of a Course A graduate student may repeat a course without special permission but
may receive credit only once. The higher grade for a repeated course will
be considered in determining the Grade-Point Average. Where the
repetition results in a lower grade, the original grade stands.
Non-Degree Credit
Normally, work done in a non-degree program does not receive graduate credit. A graduate student, however, may petition for credit if the
grade earned for a non-degree work is 2.0 or better at the master’s level,
and 1.75 or better at the doctoral level, subject to the following restrictions:
1. The petition must have the approval of the Program Adviser and
the College Coordinator.
2. The petition must be submitted to the SGS Dean on or before the time the student advances for admission to candidacy for a
degree.
3. The course must be a graduate course.
Cross-Enrollment
Graduate programs in MSU-IIT may be availed by the students
from other institutions offering similar programs through cross-registration provided that the following requirements are met:
1. A formal application to cross register addressed to the Registrar,
through the SGS Dean, must be filed. 2. A recommendation to cross-enrol from the Graduate Dean and
Registrar of home institution must be secured.
Courses that may be credited towards a graduate program but
18
which are not offered at the University may be cross-enrolled in other
State Universities or PAASCU/AACCUP-accredited schools, provided that such cross-enrollment is upon the recommendation by the program
adviser and with the approval of the SGS Dean; provided further that the
total credits earned outside the University through cross-enrollment and
transfer credits shall not exceed nine (9) units for a master’s program and sixteen (16) units for a doctoral program.

THE GRADUATE FACULTY
Qualifications of a Graduate Faculty:
1. Doctoral degree or its equivalent; or 2. Master’s degree with thesis; or
3. Master’s degree without thesis with considerable teaching
and/or research experience.
Accreditation of Graduate Faculty:
Accreditation of a graduate faculty member shall be made according to the following criteria:
1. No faculty member can teach in any graduate program unless
he/she is at least a master’s degree in his/her field of specialization.
2. As a general rule, a majority of the faculty members in the
master’s degree program, and all the faculty members in the
doctoral degree program should be holders of earned doctoral degree.
3. Only PhD holders can teach subjects of the 300 series (or
equivalent) intended for doctoral programs; PhD and master’s degree holders can teach the 200 series courses (or equivalent)
intended for masteral programs.
4. All incoming graduate faculty members must have at least five (5) years of teaching experience at the College/School in the
field of specialization he/she will be teaching at the School of
Graduate Studies.
5. Every graduate faculty member should have undertaken at least one (1) research aside from his/her master’s thesis or
doctoral dissertation; and must have undertaken other
activities such as attendance to special training, workshop, seminar or symposia in his/her field of teaching.
6. Thesis/dissertation advising is exclusively for graduate faculty
members who have written a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. A holder of a non-thesis master’s degree cannot
be a thesis adviser.
7. In specific fields of study which require special and technical
training, a faculty member without the appropriate graduate degree may be allowed to teach provided he or she has taught
for at least five (5) years in that field of specialization and has
gained and demonstrated competence and a recognized international scholarship in his/her field of endeavor.
24
8. All graduate faculty members must have a teaching efficiency
rating of at least 85% for a period of two (2) semesters prior to his/her teaching of graduate courses. Those who are already
teaching must maintain at least 85% Teaching Efficiency
Rating (TER) every semester.
A graduate faculty shall not cease to be under the jurisdiction of
the mother unit. As a graduate faculty, he/she becomes a
complementary component of the graduate programs being implemented in his/her mother unit.
Furthermore, graduate faculty shall exercise the privileges and
responsibilities bestowed on him/her. In the assignment of teaching load to graduate faculty, priority
should be given to graduate courses. Under normal conditions, courses
directly or indirectly related to one’s major or minor field of
specialization should be assigned to a faculty. When extremely necessary, a graduate faculty may be given a teaching load in the
undergraduate level.
The teaching load of a graduate faculty may either be composed of graduate and undergraduate courses. However, in the computation
of teaching loads, the approved Board of Regents Resolution No. 294-
R-S 1997 shall be enforced. One student unit credit of graduate course is equivalent to 1½ teaching load credit.
All teaching assignment in the Graduate School is subject to the
review of the SGS Dean.
Honorarium Scheme
Remuneration for overload teaching shall follow the same scheme
for overload payments as approved by the Board of Regents. Special Projects/Thesis/Dissertation adviser and the members of
