The San Beda College of Law aims to produce competent Christian lawyers – lawyers who are learned in the

law and who conduct themselves according to Christian principles and to the noblest traditions of the bench and
the bar. To realize this objective, we educate the mind with the legal provisions and the heart with justice, civic
consciousness, and respect for law, authority, and human rights.

With the unqualified support of the Benedictine community and the passion of a distinguished faculty, the
College of Law aims to attain academic excellence. More than imparting a great ability in the noble field of law,
the school endeavors to imbibe to its students the Christian tenets of unwavering adherence to a righteous cause,
fairness in conduct and respect for the rights of others.

What Makes SBC Law Different


The Academic Policies
The QPI
The Quantity Point Index or the QPI is imposed upon all incoming students other than freshman.
An incoming student shall not be readmitted unless s/he has obtained a QPI of at least 78% for all
subjects taken in the San Beda College of Law for readmission to the First Year or admission to
the Second Year, 79% for readmission to the Second year or admission to Third Year, and 80%
for readmission to the Third Year or admission to the Fourth Year.

The Two Flunk Rule


A student who drops or fails the same subject twice shall be denied readmission by the College of
Law.
Scholarships
Incoming freshmen students who graduated with honors are granted scholarships by the
College. Summa cum Laude graduates are given 100% scholarship; Magna cum
Laude, 75% and cum Laude, 50%. The scholarship grants are valid for one year only.

After the first year, 100%, 50% and 25% scholarships are granted to the students who obtained the
highest, second highest and third highest general averages, respectively, in each batch. The award
is based on the actual general weighted averages of final grades during the entire year preceding
that for which the scholarships are granted. It is effective for one whole year.

The scholarships granted to incoming freshmen who graduated with honors and to the gold, silver
and bronze medalists shall pertain to the tuition and does not include miscellaneous fees and other
charges. Likewise, the student must carry full load.
The Officers of the San Beda Centralized Bar Operation, The Barrister and the Law Student
Government shall be discounts on their tuition in proportion as recommended by the Dean, the
Vice Dean and the Prefect of Student Affairs. The officers shall be entitled to this grant provided
they enrol at least 50% of their subject during the semester during which the discount is applied
for.
