If you opt for an exemption, you :

  • Are deemed to have fulfilled the course requirements and the required number of Academic Units.

If you are eligible for a core course exemption, you do not have to take up the offer. For example, you may prefer to read the course at the undergraduate level as a useful refresher of the higher-level courses. In which case, no action is needed on your part. Simply attend the course as scheduled in your timetable.
