Flexible Grading Option (FGO)
The Flexible Grading Option allows a student to convert the grades of eligible courses to Pass or No Record grades, which are excluded from the student's cumulative GPA (CGPA).
Students can declare the FGO on eligible courses taken in any semester during any declaration period before their graduation, subject to the quota of FGO Academic Units (AU) for their degree programmes.
The FGO aims to empower NTU students with greater autonomy and flexibility to shape their academic journey. Through the FGO, students are provided a safe space to try new courses, without having to worry about its potential impact on their CGPA. This encourages students not to be too focused on grades, but rather to seize every opportunity to stretch themselves and explore new areas outside their core discipline. As part of NTU's ongoing commitment to education transformation under our NTU2030 strategic plan, we are expanding the FGO to better support your transition to university life and give you greater ownership of your academic journey.
Note: Students are not allowed to declare FGO on Final Year Projects (FYP), Professional Internships (PI) and Professional Attachments (PA).
