ASSESSMENT AND GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

Grade Points

Each student receives a letter grade for each module taken, depending on his/her academic performance. Each grade corresponds to a grade point as shown below:

GRADE A+ A

AB+ B

BC+ C D+ D F GRADE POINT 5.00 5.00 4.50 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0

Students are allowed to request a review to a grade within 3 days after the release of the grade. Please refer to: https://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/administrativepolicies-procedures/graduate/grading-policyexamination-process

Cumulative Average Point (CAP)

Academic progress is tracked by the CAP, which is the weighted average grade point of all modules taken by a student. Therefore, a student's CAP is the sum of the module grade points multiplied by the number of Modular Credits (MCs) for the corresponding module, divided by the total number of MCs. This is represented as follows:

CAP = SUM (MODULE GRADE POINT X MCs ASSIGNED TO MODULE) / SUM (MCs ASSIGNED TO ALL MODULES An online CAP calculator is available at: https://inetapps.nus.edu.sg/capcalc/cap_calculat or.aspx

Continuation and Graduation Requirements

For continuation to the Semester 2, a student must achieve a minimum grade B- for UD5601 and a minimum CAP of 2.50.

For any semester in which the student’s CAP falls below 3.0 (but ≥2.50), that student will be issued an academic warning. For any semester in which the student’s CAP falls below 2.50, that student will be issued an academic Probation.
