(Selection in Year3.1 – AE {Option1, Option2})

If fail any core subject retake in next sem, must pass repeat subject in 2nd attempt

Cross Disciplinary Subjects (CDS)

NGP* – Pass in Supp Exam or due to Attendance Policy < 85%

Grade Point Average (GPA)• Standard used to measure students’ academic achievement

How is GPA calculated?• Every subject is worth certain weightage (or Credit Units, CU)• Subject Grade Point (GPA) = grade obtained for the subject

GPA = sum (CU assigned to subject * Subject Grade Point)sum (CU assigned to subject)

Ranking based on CGPA (Cumulative GPA)

Non-graded subjects (eg. APEL, PSPS and SIP) are not includedin the calculation of GPA

Non-Graded Pass is included in the calculation of GPA

Example :

For 2 subjects – EMATH1 and ENGDRAW

Case 1 Case 2

EMATH1 (5 CU) “D” “A”

ENGDRAW (4 CU) “A” “D”

CGPA (1x5)+(4x4) (4x5)+(1x4)9 9

=2.33 (C) =2.66 (C+)

Grade Point Average (GPA)

• Student is given 2 attempts for a subject(note : 5 years or 10 sems max to graduate)

• Student must pass fundamental subjects (Level 1.1 and 1.2) within the first 4 semesters

• Student fails a subject in main exam• Take subject in supplementary

(no supp exam for CDS, APEL, MP, SIP)

• Student fails subject in supp exam• 1st attempt, repeat subject in next semester• 2nd attempt, fail core subject, remove from course

• No MC will be accepted during Supp Exam. A Student is deemed to have failed if he is absent from Supp Exam.

ACAD Progression (FAST)

Academic Progression Student who failed CDS twice will not be allowed to choose

the same CDS again. Must take min 3 CDS obtain min 9 CUs before graduation.. CDS are graded and attendance is critical. Student who fails any subject or has discipline issues will

not be considered for DWM or Director List. Complete diploma study in min 6 semesters (3 years) and

max 10 semesters (5 years). Meets TP Core, Diploma Core and CDS Requirements. Min total credit units to graduate: 136 (AEG). Min CGPA to graduate is 1.0

Criteria To Pass Subject

Subject Passing Rule

Important for Students

Pass TP SAR-66 related subjects with minimum “D” grade– “P” grade is considered failed

Minimum 85% attendance– MC and LOAs are counted as absences– Lateness are counted toward absences

Cheating by students– Attempting or abetting to cheat– Possession of unauthorized materials– Disqualified from taking examination for 12 months (meant for

those taking SAR-66 related subjects)– CAAS must be informed within 7 days

There is no opt-out– Students who drop out can continue the normal poly academic

route

21

Subject Passing RuleRule Non-exam subject

– Overall marks min 50%

Examination subject – Main exam ( CW 60%, Exam 40% )

At least 50% overall Graded with attendance > 85%

– Supp exam CW 60% Supp exam 40% At least 50% overall Only grade “P” or “F”

Non Exam-based Subject: Overall marks = min 50%

Exam-based Subject (60%CW, 40%Exam):

Min 85 % attendance to be graded Supp result with grade “P” or “F”

Case2:

CW = 70.0

Exam = 30.0

SubjMk = 54.0 (D)

Criteria To Pass Subject

Case1:

CW = 46.0

Exam = 49.0

SubjMk = 47.2 (F)

Case3:

CW = 25.0

Exam = 60.0

SubjMk = 39.0 (F)SuppExam=88.0

SubjMk = 50.2 (P)

Guidelines for Quiz/LabTest

Absentees from quizzes and tests (including term test) require an approved MC/LOA before a retest is permitted– No XM (approved absent) – Students are entitled to only one retest with approved

MC/LOA. – For long term MCs, the subject leader and course

team will determine if retest or re-allocation is needed.

Absence from quizzes/tests without approved MC/LOA = XF (absent without valid reason).

Guidelines for Term TestNon-Exam Subjects

Absentees with approved MC/LOA will take a retest. – No XM for term test– Entitled to only one retest– Arrangements for the retest

will be done at School level.

Absence without approved MC/LOA = XF.

Exam Subjects Absentees with approved

MC/LOA will have the term test percentage transferred to the exam.– Record as XM; This will be

allocated to the Exam Component.

– Total exam percentage should not exceed 60% of total subject mark.

Absence without approved MC/LOA = XF.

Rationale for Passing Rule

To consider the course work components in the supplementary examination.

Students are encouraged to take course work components seriously.

To ensure that students have the required technical competence, particularly practical skills before awarding them a pass in the subject.

Course Structure (FAST) Consult Academic Advisors early for your

academic progression path. CDS selection start during the 1st week of new

semester (except for Level 1.1). Plan properly. Academic advising to help make choices wisely

to meet graduation requirement (some students took >3 years to graduate because of poor planning)

Avoid being trap in “left CDS to graduate”. Student’s responsibility to monitor his academic

progression.
