Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to the Degree Programs, Retention Policies, and Student Performance Contract
What are the differences among the three programs: BS Accountancy, BS Accounting Information System and BS Management Accounting?
While all programs are anchored on core accounting, business, and general education courses, each program offers a course of study unique and relevant to each accounting specialization.
The BS Accountancy (BSA) program offers a wide array of courses on external financial statements assurance and audit services. BSA graduates are expected to take the licensure examination for certified public accountants administered by the Board of Accountancy (Philippines) and other international accounting certifications (e.g., ACCA).
Meanwhile, the BS Management Accounting (BSMA) program is focused on corporate accounting and controllership. BSMA graduates are expected to take the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) examination administered by the Institute of Management Accountants (USA and Australia), or the Certified Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
Finally, the BS Accounting Information System (BSAIS) program is geared towards a career in information systems audit and information technology governance with a foundation on accounting information systems. BSAIS graduates are expected to take the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) examination administered by ISACA (USA), the international professional organization of information technology governance professionals.
With the breadth and depth offered by the specialized and general courses respectively, graduates of the UST AMV College of Accountancy are expected to become lifelong learners and leaders regardless of specialization.
What happens when a student incurs failure during the first year?
As a rule, the University has a debarment policy applicable to students who incur failures corresponding to 9 units or the equivalent of one-half of their load (for students who did not take the full regular load).
However, freshmen in their first term in the University are exempted from this rule. A student who in his/her first term in the University and who incurs failures corresponding to nine units or more will be allowed to be readmitted in the succeeding term on a probationary basis.
The probationary basis will allow the student to clear all his/her deficiencies until the succeeding special term. Failure to clear the deficiencies and/or incurring additional deficiencies in the second term will exclude the student on probation from admission to the second curriculum year.
Moreover, any student who incurs a failure during the first curriculum years, subject to the debarment policy as stated, cannot anymore proceed to the BS Accountancy Program and may choose between the BSMA or BSAIS.
What happens when a student accumulates uncleared deficiency of 9 units at the end of the first curriculum year and thereafter?
The debarment policy of the University will apply as discussed above.
What is an uncleared deficiency?
An uncleared deficiency pertains to an instance of failure in a course which is still to be removed through retaking and passing the said course.
For example, if in the first term of his/her first year, a student incurs a failure in a three-unit course then the student’s deficiency is three units at the end of the first term.
If in the succeeding (second) term, the same student retakes the same course and still incurs a failure, his/her deficiency becomes six units. As a rule, uncleared deficiencies are counted by instance and not by course.
Will a student who does not have a failure during the first and second years have the option to choose among the three programs: BSA, BSAIS, or BSMA?
A student without failure for the first and second years may choose any one of the three programs, including the BSA, if s/he has a grade of 2.50 or better in all accounting, finance, law, and taxation courses. All other students who did not incur failures but did not meet the 2.50 grade will be ranked based on grades’ weighted average (GWA) and may be considered for the BSA program, subject to availability of slots.
When a student incurs a grade of 2.50 or better in all courses of Accounting, Law and Tax, during the first two curriculum years, does she enjoy the option to choose among the three programs?
Yes, the student may be retained in the BSA program provided s/he did not incur failures in any of the courses. S/he may also shift to the BSMA or BSAIS programs.
Can a student shift to and from any of the Accounting programs during the first and second years?
Yes, provided that all classification requirements are met. However, courses in the first and second years across the three programs are common. It is more efficient if the student will wait for the classification process (at the end of the second year) if s/he considers shifting to another program.
Will a student retained in or shifted to BS Accountancy be subjected to further grade requirements?
Yes, the debarment policy will still apply to all students across all programs. The debarment policy of the University does not allow his/her admission during the subsequent term when the accumulated uncleared deficiency is at least 9 units. Fourth year students, however, are not anymore subject to debarment. For this purpose, fourth year students are those who have successfully completed all the courses in the three curriculum years of the program.
Are there also grade requirements for students in the BSMA or BSAIS?
Yes, the debarment policy will still apply to all students across the program, except for fourth-year students. Also for this purpose, fourth year students are those who have successfully completed all the courses in the three curriculum years of the program(s).
Can a student who finished BSMA or BSAIS proceed to BS Accountancy for a second degree?
Yes, this will be considered as a second-degree application covered by the student handbook (PPS No. 1009a). Furthermore, the 2.50 grade requirement during the first two curriculum years, among others shall still apply.

Achievers
Vision, Mission, Core Values, Graduate Attributes, and Philosophy
Vision
The UST Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy envisions itself as a premier institution in accountancy education and research in Asia, producing morally upright world-class accountants and effecting social transformation.
Mission
The UST Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy dedicates itself to:
- provide quality accounting education in the formation of competent, compassionate and committed professionals who are active agents of social transformation;
- enhance the competencies of its academic and non-academic personnel through continuous training and development;
- undertake and apply research findings for the improvement of business practices that promote the well-being of society;
- develop in its stakeholders opportunities for lifelong learning needed to fulfill their aspirations and contribute to society; and
- sustain an evangelized public presence by actively responding to the needs of industry, government and society.
Graduate Attributes
The graduates from the UST-AMV College of Accountancy are characterized by:
— professional competence (in-depth and extensive knowledge in accounting and finance with the ability to conduct research and use results in formulating decisions in response to current problems and new opportunities);
— ability to think critically to develop powers of analysis, application, evaluation, synthesis and creation of new knowledge;
— ability to communicate effectively;
— capacity to work independently and as part of a team;
— willingness to accept social and civic responsibilities and uphold high ethical standards; and
— moral integrity observed in one’s respect for laws and regulations, compliance with professional standards, and commitment to the core values of the University and teachings of the Church.
Core Values
The UST-Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy Administration, Staff, Faculty and Students embodies the following core values:
- Competence,
- Compassion, and
- Commitment
Educational Philosophy
The UST AMV College of Accountancy believes that the “learners of today are the leaders of tomorrow”. Therefore, teaching and learning is expected to produce competent, compassionate and committed Thomasian accountants.
Competence: Developing Mental Agility
Learning best happens when learners construct their own knowledge. Facilitators must therefore equip the learners with essential concepts and theories for problem solving. Furthermore, facilitators (faculty members) should carefully scaffold the problem solving process through the learner’s application of frameworks, theories and concepts. Thomasian accountants are expected to select, apply and reflect on existing theories in analyzing the most pressing accounting issues.
Compassion: Inculcating Our Christian Identity
Tracing to its Christian roots, the college believes that all learning is incomplete without its social dimension. Learning in the college, therefore, should encompass the ethical and social dimensions of business, finance and accounting. Furthermore, Thomasian accountants are expected to be reflective of their own decisions, taking into consideration all stakeholders involved.
Commitment: Life-long Learning, Life-long Leading
The college fosters a learning environment where learners are expected to be fully dedicated and committed to their own learning. Rather than giving them answers, leading learners into a feasible solution enables them to take full ownership of their own learning. As accounting practice constantly evolves, Thomasian accountants are expected to simultaneously learn and lead in their respective fields.
Teaching and learning in the college develops learners into well-rounded professionals where a healthy balance of competence, compassion and commitment will enable them to lead lives of integrity as professional accountants and nation builders.

Patron Saint
ST. JOSEPH
(1st Century AD), husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Patron of the UST-AMV College of Accountancy
Feast Day: March 19
St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus, was probably born in Bethlehem and probably died in Nazareth. In the plan of salvation, God assigned to Joseph, “the just man” (cf. Mt 1:19), and spouse of the Virgin Mary (cf. ibid; Lk 1:27), a particularly important mission: legally to insert Jesus Christ into the line of David from whom, according to the prophets, the Messiah would be born, and to act as his father and guardian.
In virtue of this mission, God revealed to Joseph that Jesus had been conceived by the Holy Spirit; (cf. Mt 1:20-21); he witnessed the birth of Christ in Bethlehem (cf. Lk 2:6-7), the adoration of the shepherds (cf. Lk 2:15-16), the adoration of the Magi (cf. Mt 2:11); he fulfilled his mission religiously with regard to the rearing of Christ, having had him circumcised according to the discipline of the Covenant of Abraham (Lk 2:21) and in giving him the name of Jesus (Mt 1:21); in accordance with the Law of the Lord, he presented Christ in the Temple and made the offering prescribed for the poor (cf. Lk 2:22-24; Ex 13:2,12-13), and listened in wonder to the prophecy of Simeon (cf. Lk 2:25-33); he protected the Mother of Christ and her Son from the persecution of Herod by taking them to Egypt (cf. Mt 2:13-23); together with Mary and Jesus, he went every year to Jerusalem for the Passover, and was distraught at having lost the twelve year old Jesus in the Temple (Lk 2:43-50); he lived in Nazareth and exercised paternal authority over Jesus who was submissive to him (Lk 2:51); he instructed Jesus in the law and in the craft of carpentry.
St. Joseph was the provider of the holy family; he was accountable for Jesus as His foster-father, and the Blessed Virgin Mary as her husband. He died before the beginning of Christ's public life. His was the most beautiful death that one could have, in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Humbly and unknown, he passed his years at Nazareth in silence. He is the patron of the Universal Church. He is the patron of the dying. He is the patron of the UST-AMV College of Accountancy.
