S/U Option and Minor Programme

S/U Option and Minor Programme

1) Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory Option

With effect from AY2024-2025, Flexible Grading Option (FGO) supersedes the existing S/U Option.

Student may choose to exercise a maximum of 12 AUs of S/U option for GER-Prescribed Electives (GER-PE) and Unrestricted Elective (UE)/Broadening & Deepening Electives (BDE) anytime during their candidature.

For courses indicated as “S” (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. Conversely, if the course is assigned as “U”, no AUs is earned. Both “S” and “U” grades carry no grade point and are excluded in the computation of CGPA (Computation of Cumulative Grade Point Average). However, both grades will still be reflected in the transcript issued by the University.

The declaration of S/U option for Academic Year 2023-2024 is held on:
