A student will be issued a warning for any semester in which his/her CAP falls below 3.00.
If in the following semester, the student's CAP again falls below 3.00 but is above 2.50, he/she will be placed on probation.
The candidature of a student may be terminated if he/she obtains the following:
- A CAP of less than 2.50 for two consecutive semesters;
- A CAP of less than 3.00 for three consecutive semesters.
CAP for continuation is computed based on all modules read (be it pass or fail).
Subject to departmental approval, students in Track 1 and Track 2 may be allowed to substitute up to two and four MA-modules, respectively, with approved modules offered in other departments at NUS to fulfill the graduation requirements. Students must seek permission by writing to the Department before the start of module registration in any semester.
For students who are admitted in AY2009/10 or later, QF-modules will be counted as non-MA-modules.
Students are required to apply for Leave of Absence if they have to be away during their candidature or are unable to read any modules in any semester.
Application for leave of absence should be submitted prior to the start of the semester. If a student applies for leave of absence after the second instructional week of the semester, he/she will be liable to pay fees for the entire semester.
All leave applications are to be submitted online. Students who are absent without leave are subject to disciplinary actions.
