The Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grading option allows a student to take a course on an ungraded basis (i.e. no letter grade e.g. A, B, etc).
For a course opted to be graded on S/U basis, a student will receive AU for the course only if he attains a 'Satisfactory' (S) grade.
Important points for SSM Students:
1) All courses read on the S/U basis will be excluded from the computation of GPA and hence has no impact on the Honours classification.
2) Students are allowed to exercise the S/U option for up to a maximum of 12 AUs.
3) Only graded courses taken as GER – Prescribed Electives and/or Unrestricted Electives are eligible for the S/U option. Students are strictly not allowed to exercise the S/U on any SSM core, core electives (prescribed sport electives and prescribed specialization) and GER-Core courses.
4) All courses taken as a minor are excluded from the S/U option.
5) Students must fulfill a minimum of 77 AUs of graded courses in order to be awarded their degree.
Students have to
declare the courses to be graded S/U before the start of examinations for the semester through the NTU Office of Academic Services website.
