To graduate, an undergraduate student must have a minimum GPA of 2.00. To remain in good academic standing, and to continue in an undergraduate programme of study, a student may not have GPA below 2.00 for two consecutive semesters.
For any semester in which the student’s GPA falls below 2.00, s/he will be placed on probation. If the student’s GPA remains below 2.00 for the second consecutive semester, the student will be issued a letter of dismissal by the Registrar and denied re-admission.
A dismissed student may submit an appeal if there are extenuating circumstances, to the relevant Faculty/Department within two calendar weeks of the last day of the release of each semester’s examination results. Normally every student is allowed only one such appeal per candidature. If the appeal is rejected, the student will not be re-admitted. If the outcome of the appeal is positive, the student will be given one semester in which to achieve the minimum GPA required for continuation and graduation.
The criteria for degree classification applicable to students admitted from AY2012/2013 onwards are as follows:
BACHELOR’S DEGREE CLASSIFICATION (III) | CRITERIA |
---|---|
Pass with Merit | GPA 3.00 and above |
Pass | GPA 2.00 – 2.99 |
This refers to 120-unit degree programmes.
