Important Notes:
(a) The S/U option allows a student to take a course on an ‘ungraded’ basis i.e. no letter grade such as A, B, etc will be awarded. A course will be indicated as 'S’ (Satisfactory) if the final letter grade obtained is a 'D' or better.
Conversely, it will be indicated as 'U’ (Unsatisfactory) if the grade obtained is ‘F’. The descriptor ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’ will appear in the result slip and the transcript issued by the University.
(e) The S/U option does not apply to:
- Pass/Fail courses
- graduate courses
- incoming exchange and non-graduating students
- Once opted for S/U grading, the course AU will count towards the S/U quota regardless of the final results i.e. S, U or absent with valid reasons such as on medical or compassionate grounds (LOA).
- The S/U option that students have exercised for a course is irrevocable. Hence, students who have invoked S/U cannot appeal for the course(s) to be reversed to letter grade(s) after the exercise for S/U option is over. The S/U option cannot be applied retrospectively after the declaration period or to courses that students have already completed for letter grades.
- A student who obtains a 'U' can repeat the course. However, the 'U' grade that he gets for his first attempt will remain in his academic record and will be printed in the transcript issued by the University.
- The repeat attempt(s) of a course will retain the grading option chosen for the first attempt i.e. S/U or letter-graded. In other words, the S/U option only applies to the first attempt of a course. As such, if S/U grading has not been opted for a course, a student will also not be able to opt for S/U grading for its repeat attempt(s). Similarly, if S/U grading has been opted for a course, its repeat attempt(s) will also be graded S/U. The repeat course includes replacement courses. The AU of a course that has been opted for S/U grading will be counted against the S/U quota only once. Its repeat will not be counted against the quota again.
- Students who exercise the S/U option must comply with the requirements on the graduation requirements as shown below:
