Flexible Grading Option (FGO)

Student may choose to exercise up to 12 AUs of FGO option for GER-Prescribed Electives (GER-PE) & Unrestricted Electives / Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE) & Major Prescribed Electives courses offered with an BDE option (MPE-BDE) within the stipulated period after the release of course results.

For courses indicated as Pass “P” Grade (if the final grade obtained is a “D” grade or better), the student will be awarded the AU and it is counted towards his/her degree requirement. The grade will also be reflected in both internal and external documents (i.e. Degree Audit, Record of Exam Results (RER), and Transcript).

Conversely, if the course is assigned as No Record “NR” (F grade), no AUs is earned, and the course record will not appear in external documents (i.e. RER and Transcript) but only in internal documents (i.e. Degree Audit) for internal tracking only.

The declaration of FGO option for Academic Year 2024-2025 is held on:

Points to note:

  1. FGO declarations are irrevocable once submitted. Students are strongly advised not to rush their FGO declarations and should carefully consider their upcoming academic plans and milestones before submitting their declaration. 
  2. MPE-BDE courses that students have used the FGO on, will automatically be reclassified as BDEs in their academic documents and will not count towards fulfilling their MPE requirements. Students will need to take another MPE to fulfill the MPE AU requirements, in the event of a shortfall after the reclassification.
