Academic-Related Offences
Cheating on Semestral Examination
Student will be allowed to continue with the current and remaining examination papers, if any,
pending investigation by the Disciplinary Committee. Where the cheating offence is confirmed, the
student will be marked ‘Fail’ for the module which he was found in possession of unauthorised
materials or cheated in. All other modules, including coursework-based modules, taken by the
student in the semester will be given a ‘P’ grade if he passed them.
Cheating on Coursework
Coursework refers to non-examination-related components such as projects, term tests and
assignments. Where the cheating offence is confirmed, student will be given zero for the affected
component of the module or heavier penalty, where appropriate.
Plagiarism
Disciplinary action taken against students caught for plagiarism will depend on the severity and
includes failing the module, suspension and dismissal from course.
How is the Credit Unit Computed
Every module is assigned credit units (CU). These credit units are a measure of students’ workload.
In any module, 1 credit unit is normally assigned for 15 hours of work. For example, a module with
4 credit units will have a 60-hour (15 x 4) workload. Students must pass the module assessments
in order to be awarded the assigned credit units.
How is the Grade Point Average (GPA) Computed
Students’ progression within a course of study will be evaluated on the basis of the Grade Point
Average (GPA). The GPA is a numerical value that indicates the student’s academic achievement in
the course. Both the semester GPA and cumulative GPA (cGPA) are calculated.
The formula for calculating the GPA is given below:
GPA = sum (credit units assigned to module X module grade point)
sum (credit units assigned to module)
The calculation of cGPA will include all modules with grade points and will be computed based on
the grades obtained by the student at the latest attempt of the examination for each module.
How to Apply for Module Exemption
Application for module exemption can be considered up to Week 2 of the semester and only ONE
application is allowed per student per semester. All applications are subject to approval. Students
will be notified on the outcome of their application within 1 month from the date of the
application. Please contact the relevant Programme Officers for more details.
Students are deemed to have satisfied the requirements for the subjects that they are granted
exemption and will be given an “Exempted” grade. The corresponding credit units of the
exempted subjects will be accorded to the students and counted towards satisfying the course
graduation requirements. However, the credit units will NOT be used in the computation of
cumulative Grade Point Average (cGPA).
