Student Development

The Co-Curricular Awarding Points System (CCAPS) was developed to promote an all-rounded education and to give recognition to students in their achievements in the non-academic areas.

Grading system criteria:• Activities endorsed by NAFA.• Official representation on a national level

or activities with prior approval or endorsement by Dean/OSC.

• Points will not be awarded to activities that form part of a formal course curriculum.

• Points are accumulated over your course of study at NAFA and would be converted into a grade that is reflected in a CCA transcript.

Find out more from Studentnet.

What are examples of activities that I can earn CCA points?

Student Representatives (SRs) are elected members by the Vice-Deans of Programmes to represent the student body in matters of academic matters and student life.

• SRs collect their peer’s concerns and feedback of course-related matters and student life and bring them to the SR meeting conducted once every semester.

• The purpose of the SR meeting is to facilitate a direct channel of communication between students and academic to build a robust and healthy academic environment for all NAFA students.

Leadership

Do watch out for information from your programme about SR selection/nomination.
